RIP Jack Tripper and Johnny Cash

[vitaminman]

Two great men passed away yesterday, John Ritter and Johnny Cash.

I wasn't a huge fan of Johnny Cash, but he did a lot for music, both country and rock.

John Ritter was part of one of my favorite tv shows as a kid, Three's Company. It seems like his career was taking off again with 8 Simple Rules, what a shame to die at 54.

Yeah, I meant to post something about this earlier. Don't care for Johnny Cash, but John Ritter was da man!

Jack Tripper was one of the best characters on TV ever. It's such a shock that he died because he looked ok (besides the obvious weight he had gained) and he was doing well on 8 Simple Rules. He'll be missed. Hey, I wonder where Felipe is now?

And it will be an even sadder day when Richard Kline aka "Larry" passes on, Jack and Larry were hillarious.

what did ritter die of

 

[vitaminman]

Hey,

He had some sort of undiagnosed heart problem, one of his aortas (sp?) ripped and he died shortly after. The first link I posted at the top has the full story.

Take care,

Nick

Hey,

HELL YES!!!! I love that stuff. I can't decide who is funnier, Mr. Furley or Mr. Roper. Don't care what anyone says, Janet (Joyce DeWitt) is HOT.

On a good evening, there will be back to back episodes of Three's Company, followed by Bob Newhart on Nick at Night or TV Land. Pure comedy.

I think Mr. Furley was funnier because of his body actions, etc.. And when he would get ready to fight in his chop sockey pose with his hands ready to chop. LOL.

john ritter was the man when it came to comedy.
physical comedy was his speciality.

he had a way of making the props and cast around that much funnier

peace to his family
