8 Simple Rules - Paul's Death

[Arneldo]

I love this show, and I remember seeing the episode were Paul dies about a year ago, but it was repeated on ABC1 tonight, and I know this isn't a "blokey" thing to admit - but I honest never cried so much during a TV show. For a teen comedy sitcom, they dealt with it so well.

For those who don't know, John Ritter, who played the character of Paul, died on September 11th 2003 an aortic dissection. After a short hiatus the show returned with an hour long episode called "Goodbye" where the character died in a car crash.

Just has tissues on hand if you do watch it. It's really sad, I cried and never really cry and these sort of things. I had seen it before but for some reason tonight I just broke down watching it.

I still daren't watch it. I loved the actor and the character loads so I'd know I'd hate watching it.

Oh please don't- I cant say ive cried that much with a TV show ever.
And I cry at tv shows A LOT. It runs in my family.

Its just some of the most upsetting stuff ever, but very well done.
And cos John actually died, most of the emotions were real, which makes it even harder to watch.
