8 simple rules –one of finest sitcoms

8 simple rules to date my teenage daughter is one of the finest situational comedy .It’s about an overprotective dad and his insecurities in terms of protecting his daughters from a bad-bad world his. John Ritter stars as Paul Hennessy, who’s traumatized when he realizes that his daughters have entered into the most challenging time of their lives. He’s not ready to accept the truth that his daughter’s have grown up and tries to protect them by imposing irritating yet necessary rules. Unfortunately the first season ended with a sudden death of John Ritter in reality, which paved the way for C.J., the daughter’s cousin and Jimmy their grandfather to join the show.
Paul is funny, rational, possessive and loving dad. Cate Hennessy, the mother is a busy nurse but much easier going in terms of handling her teenage daughters. Bridget is the eldest daughter and the only blonde in the whole family; hence as stereotyped she’s beauty without brains .She’s confident, beautiful, smart and therefore always surrounded with boys. Kerry, the middle child is nick –named by her father as ‘care –bear’. She is sarcastic, introvert, smart, intelligent and always compared to her sister, who’s more beautiful than her. She always passes snide remarks that help her hide her real self.  She underestimates herself and believes she’s not given enough importance as she’s the ‘middle child’. Rory the youngest of all the siblings is notorious and always believes in tattling about her sisters .  C.J. is one of the finest characters of the show and you are bound to fall in love with him at the end of the season. After Paul’s death he was the only reason for the survival of the show.
You may find during season 3 that the writer’s are trying too very hard to make the show interesting and hence it can be irritating. But still it manages to be funny and maintain it’s decorum to be 8 simple rules is a rib-tickling and addictive family show.  It’s totally worth watching and every teenager as well as teenage parent can connect to it.
