I saw the tribute with my family. It was really nice. I didn't realize he had touched so many lives. They said it's estimated that about 80% of Americans have seen John Ritter because of his shows being on reruns like Three's Company. He was also the voice of Clifford the big red dog. My little nephew loves that show.
I'm glad that they have decided to keep the show. I really hope it'll survive. Shows with leading characters who died (Phil Hartman for example) never quite make it without their leading man.

my wife works on Clifford the big red dog... movie in the works... derailed... GAH! i've said too much!
I was pondering yesterday the Howard Stern commentary about how Ritter wasn't so groundbreaking an actor. I thought about it on my way in to work.
He played a man cohabitating with 2 women. Groundbreaking!
He play a man pretending to be homosexual in order to break stigma in living with those 2 women. Groundbreaking!
yeah... he altered TV history. You just didn't notice it... subtlety is so much better...
