By Albert Gutierrez

"8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" premiered on ABC in the fall of 2002, and its first season earned respectable ratings (#42 in the Nielsens), largely due to viewers' curiosity over John Ritter's newest television role, his first starring one since the early '90s sitcom "Hearts Afire." "8 Simple Rules" was part of ABC's experimental "Happy Hour", in which each weeknight the 8:00-9:00 p.m. slot would be devoted to family-friendly programming. Returning 8:00 p.m. shows such as "The Drew Carey Show", "My Wife & Kids", and "America's Funniest Home Videos" were joined by two newcomers: sitcom "8 Simple Rules" and the reality show "Extreme Makeover." The "Happy Hour" concept did not last long, as the following season saw gritty anti-terrorist drama "Threat Matrix" and newsmagazine "Primetime" claiming the first hour of certain nights. But "8 Simple Rules" had some staying power, and would remain on ABC's schedule for three seasons.

The family sitcom easily adhered to a familiar formula: two parents simply attempt to keep their home civilized despite having teenage children under their roof. It's been seen on shows like "The Brady Bunch", "Family Ties", "Home Improvement", and of course, the ever-popular "Full House."
Often, the show will try to depict one point of view: "Home Improvement" centered on paterfamilias Tim Taylor, while "Malcolm in the Middle" focused on its titular kid. Early in the series, "8 Simple Rules" took this route as well, as the first several episodes were mainly about father Paul Hennessy's (Ritter) efforts to understand his teenaged children's behavior. Usually, he'll falter due to his own shortcomings and ends up learning a lesson about himself or his children.

At Paul's side is his wife Cate (Katey Sagal), who is returning to work after years as a housewife and mother. She doesn't always agree with some of his more outlandish ideas in getting to better know their children, but she shares his lamentations at the generation gap between parent and child. As the "straight man" to Paul, it's usually up to Cate to be a more firm voice of reason and the heart of their family. The two parents are still very much in love, and their displays of affection are frequently met with disgust and shock by their children. Cate is a far cry from Peg Bundy, so seeing Katey Sagal as a nice mom is a pleasant surprise.

No mere welcome, the doormat lays out the series' title "8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter." Wonder how W. Bruce Cameron feels about people wiping their feet on his rules. Paul Hennessy (John Ritter) sits down with middle child Kerry and attempts to enlighten her with his sound advice. Cue the daughter's rolling eyes, but hold the sappy music!

Paul's three children also fall into a tradition of sitcom stereotypes. Bridget (Kaley Cuoco) is the popular and fast-talking oldest daughter and Kerry (Amy Davidson) is the moody and environmentalist middle child. While the two sisters share a room, they regularly are at odds with each other and their father, with Kerry offering biting sarcasm and Bridget trying to talk her way out of punishment. The two get a lion's share of airtime, as they are the titular "teenage daughters" whom Paul is trying to protect. Usually the protection is from guys like Kyle (Billy Aaron Brown) and Jason (Brian Sites), recurring male characters who date Bridget and Kerry, respectively.

Stuck as the second banana to his sisters, youngest son Rory (Martin Spanjers) sees the least amount of airtime and is relegated to silly little escapades like buying a surfboard (they live in Michigan) or secretly keeping a monkey/snake/rat as a pet. That and hiding in his sisters' closet, then reporting what he hears to Paul. What separates Rory from his sisters aside from gender is that he isn't so easily embarrassed by his father's presence, and there is a natural "hero worship" that the son holds for his dad. Being the only boy has its benefits as Rory is easily Paul's favorite, and he uses this fact to his advantage several times.

The series' storylines deal with the struggles of parenthood and the pressures of being a teen. Since "8 Simple Rules" begins with the children already in full-adolescent mode, the shift from childhood to adulthood is abrupt for viewers, as it is for Paul, who is finally taking a more committed turn at fatherhood. Attempting to be a good father, Paul has heart-to-hearts with both his daughters, despite their constant criticism of his clothes and outdated slang. His ineptitude is often his undoing, and his need to be both father and friend leads to a strained relationship with his children. Of course, in a sitcom, this means that after 20 minutes in TV time, any grudges or arguments are completely resolved, and all is well in the Hennessy household. Thankfully, a capable cast and snappy dialogue help make those 20 minutes enjoyable and fun. There's no cheesy emotional music during the "serious" conversations, and the characters are just odd enough to be laughed at, while still real enough to make their predicaments believable and investable.

The Hennessy children (Kaley Cuoco, Martin Spanjers, and Amy Davidson) often don't look this innocent, so they must be up to something. Paul, Cate (Katey Segal), and flour sack baby makes three.

While the show is titled "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter", it's not the prevalent theme throughout the series. In fact, the rules themselves are only mentioned in dialogue in the pilot's opening scene, and after which, are only used sparingly throughout the series. The title is somewhat misleading, as it doesn't truly reflect the coming of age theme aspect of the episodes.
"8 Simple Rules..." makes it sound like a father-versus-boyfriend sitcom, a sort of Meet the Parents for adolescents. In truth, most early episodes focus on growing up, be it the added responsibilities that a teenager takes on, or the difficult "letting go" that a parent must do. Many parents can sympathize with Paul and Cate's moments of nostalgia, during which one or the other will flashback to the children's younger days. It's that gentle reminder that people grow up and grow distant, that life goes on whether we want it to or not.

As the season progressed, the show took on a more traditional ensemble feel and even the coming of age aspect was slightly diminished. Plotlines soon became typical family conundrums, not always focusing on how growing up affects both the teenager and the parents. The writers had found their niche within the stories and characters, and comparing an early Season 1 episode like "Bridget's First Job" to a later one like "Career Woman", there is markedly different chemistry among the actors. They grow more comfortable with each other, and the somewhat awkward dialogue is greatly decreased. Unfortunately, the sudden loss of John Ritter and Paul Hennessy early into Season 2's production undoubtedly affected that family dynamic. With "the powers that be" deciding to let the show continue, it meant shifting focus from a father trying to understand his children to a family moving on from tragedy. The unexpected change to this dynamic along with the addition of Grandpa Jim (James Garner) and cousin CJ (David Spade) affected the later seasons, making them seem like a different and inferior show.

Finally, it wouldn't be an "8 Simple Rules" review without actually mentioning what these rules actually are. Written originally in 1998, there are actually two versions of these rules. A longer version appeared in a column by W. Bruce Cameron, while a shorter version is more commonly known and provided in the DVD case. Both cover the same basic principles, and I personally only agree with six of them from both lists (I'll leave you to guess which ones).

8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter:
Rule 1: Use your hands on my daughter and you'll lose them after.
Rule 2: You make her cry, I make you cry.
Rule 3: Safe sex is a myth. Anything you try will be hazardous to your health.
Rule 4: Bring her home late, there's no next date.
Rule 5: Only delivery men honk. Dates ring the doorbell. Once.
Rule 6: No complaining while you're waiting for her. If you're bored, change my oil.
Rule 7: If your pants hang off your hips, I'll gladly secure them with my staple gun.
Rule 8: Dates must be in a crowded public place. You want romance? Read a book.

Each episode contains 4 chapter stops and none ever reach the 22-minute mark, thanks to networks' long, gradual increase in commercial airtime. Man, I miss the days when a half-hour sitcom actually meant 25 minutes of content.

Of the twenty-eight episodes in season one, a star () denotes my ten favorites.

Bridget excels in her first job, at a trendy mall shop. Paul heartily approves of the athletic "Rain Man" Travis (Matt Funke) and his father Steve "Canned Heat" Smith (Terry Bradshaw).

Disc 1

4. Wings (21:40) (Originally aired October 8, 2002)
Despite Cate's confidence otherwise, Paul is convinced that Bridget isn't ready to drive on her own, so he keeps delaying her road test.

5. Son-in-Law (21:39) (Originally aired October 15, 2002)
Bridget dumps Kyle and starts dating Travis "The Rain Man" Smith, on whom Paul has a "man-crush" due to being the best basketball player on the team and having the great Steve "Canned Heat" Smith (Terry Bradshaw) as a father.

Kerry proves she's more than doom'n'gloom and tries out for the cheerleading squad. Bridget's sometimes-boyfriend Kyle (Billy Aaron Brown) takes a job as movie usher, complete with bow tie, in "Two Boys For Every Girl."

9. Two Boys for Every Girl (21:40) (Originally aired November 12, 2002)
Kerry is ecstatic at being asked on her first date, but is upset when date Jason (Brian Sites) doesn't call her back. She later finds out it's because he was embarrassed at having his mother on their date. Embarrassed that Kyle is working at a movie theater, Bridget goes out with another guy.

Rory keeps visiting the high school to see a pretty student (Rachel Bilson, "The O.C.") he has a crush on.

Paul wonders what Bridget is about to do to Rory. Paul imagines a "Three's Company" world, which shouldn't be too much of a stretch for John Ritter!

Upset that she and Jason aren't together anymore, Kerry begins hanging out with cynical friend Christina. Not wanting his daughter to become like Christina, Paul pays Bridget to take Kerry to a party. Meanwhile, Cate and Paul are curious as to what's inside Rory's "secret box".

16. Come and Knock on Our Door (21:39) (Originally aired January 28, 2003)
Kyle tries to explain to a still angry Bridget why he kissed Kerry. In what is easily the best episode of the season (solely for Kerry's line, "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go water my plants and have black hair!"), Paul falls asleep watching TV and envisions that Kyle, Kerry, and Bridget live together ΰ la John Ritter's "Three's Company."

17. Drummer Boy (Part One) (21:40) (Originally aired February 4, 2003)
While working together on a science project, Kerry gets furious at Jason when he compliments her mother.

He falls asleep, and the party goes on well into the night, leading all to sleep over at the Hennessys while considering Paul a "Cool Parent."

22. Good Moms Gone Wild (21:39) (Originally aired March 25, 2003)
The family takes a vacation in Florida. Paul and Cate get a surprise when they see Bridget and Kerry on the news partying in a bar... followed by a bigger surprise when old news footage shows a young Cate partying years earlier.

23. Career Woman (21:39) (Originally aired March 28, 2003)

24. Queen Bees and King Bees (21:42) (Originally aired April 8, 2003)

Just when you thought there wouldn't be a family more irksome than the Bradys...we meet the Doyles (parents played by "Cheers" stars John Ratzenberger and Shelley Long, top). In "Sort of an Officer and a Gentleman", Bridget has a long-distance, popularity-diminishing relationship with Donny Doyle (Thad Luckinbill).

25. Bake Sale (20:40) (Originally aired April 29, 2003)
The standard "teenager takes care of a fake baby for class" storyline is applied here, as Bridget and Kyle find themselves the proud parents of Baby H, a sack of flour.

After having the perky Doyle family over for dinner, Fred and Mary Ellen ("Cheers" veterans John Ratzenberger and Shelley Long) consider them family and the Hennessys suddenly end up part of the bridal party for daughter Moira's wedding.

Paul invites Cate's sister Maggie (Cybill Shepherd) for a visit, despite her and Cate not being the best of sisters. Bridget starts acting more mature after her first date with Donny. Kyle strikes up a friendship with Rory, and begins to date Kerry. And proof that the show cares about continuity, it turns out that Paul gets to write Carter Tibbits' book after all.

28. Sort of an Officer and a Gentleman (Part Two) (21:00) (Originally aired May 20, 2003)
A "new" Maggie returns, complete with water bra and she offers what Cate considers bad advice for her daughters. In order to properly work on his book, Paul kicks them out of the house until they resolve their problems. When Kerry begins dating Kyle, she starts becoming popular, but with Bridget spending more time with Donny than with her friends, her popularity wanes.

Sorry, Paul, it's still a nightmare. From the backstreet to the garage, Nick Carter guest stars in "Drummer Boy."

VIDEO and AUDIO

Though standard broadcasts aired the series in 1.33:1,
Apple iTunes Apple iTunes
Apple iTunes Apple iTunes
the DVD presents it in a nifty anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer, matching the widescreen dimensions of its high-definition transmissions. Not surprisingly for such a recent series, the episodes look quite good on any screen. One would worry that the amount of episodes would affect image quality (as much as ten episodes on Disc 2), but given the short runtimes, simplistic menus, and shortage of bonus features, the compression presents little of concern. Picture for the most part is sharp and clear, with a healthy balance in color and contrast.

Audio is available in both English and French 5.1, a bit elaborate for a sitcom. Not much is done with the rear speakers, as the show is naturally dialogue-heavy. With the only music being the theme song and occasional background pieces (usually during parties), the mix is often limited to the front and center channels, which do a fine job.

John Ritter messes up and rather than do a retake, goes crazy in the Blooper Reel. Each disc's static main menu screen features some nice photos of the Hennessy family.

BONUS FEATURES, MENUS and PACKAGING

A Blooper Reel (9:58) on Disc 3 is all that's offered in the way of extras. It's filled with genuinely funny moments, and it is a treat to see how well the cast work together. Still, as enjoyable as it is, a blooper reel doesn't have much replay value.
The lack of behind-the-scenes interviews or commentaries is not surprising given the treatment of other off-air Touchstone TV shows, but for such a recent one, culling together even a few promotional EPK featurettes shouldn't have been too hard. I hope that Season 2's DVD set improves in this regard and at the very least contains the "A Life of Laughter: Remembering John Ritter" documentary that aired a week before the second season premiere.

Almost counting as legitimate bonus material are the obligatory sneak peeks that are found on the first disc. Start-up trailers include The Jungle Book: 40th Anniversary Platinum Edition, Pixar's Ratatouille, Meet the Robinsons, "Ugly Betty": Season One, and the ever-reliable anti-piracy ad. Previews for The Invisible and both Seasons Six and Seven of "Home Improvement" can be found in the Sneak Peeks menu. The 16x9 menus are static and offer the theme song looping continuously.

The three discs are packaged in a standard-sized dclear keepcase, with one disc on one panel, and two overlapping discs on the opposite. A four-page insert promotes various TV on DVD sets, along with a plethora of Tim Allen releases. There's no episode guide insert, thanks to the inside artwork featuring a list of episodes along with those "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" and a splash of color photos from the show.

Paul and son Rory laugh and drive away after embarrassing "Bridgey" and "Care Bear." No wonder his daughters make fun of him.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Two years after the cancellation of "8 Simple Rules", the show's first season makes its way to DVD in a pretty vanilla three-disc set which supplies only a blooper reel for bonus features. While there is room for improvement in the extras department, the high quality of the show and surprisingly low list price more than make up for it. Early episodes may have been somewhat stilted and clichιd, but they still contain the warmth and humor that's found in the rest of the season, making for an enjoyable trip through Parenthood and the Teenage Mind. A great sitcom with a great cast definitely merits a great recommendation from me.
