8 Simple Rules – Giveaway!

**This giveaway is now closed! Congrats to stiner0305!**

8 Simple Rules (originally known as 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter) was one sitcom that I didn’t miss. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to review 8 Simple Rules Season 2.

8 Simple Rules is about a married couple with three children, set in a Detriot, Michigan suburb. The father, Paul Hennessy (John Ritter), is a sportswriter who is prompted by his wife Cate’s (Katey Sagal) return to nursing to take a more active role in raising their two teenage daughters, Bridget (Kaley Cuoco), and Kerry (Amy Davidson), and their son Rory (Martin Spanjers). He is soon overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the father of teenage daughters and misses being a sports writer. Paul begins writing a column from home about his struggles with his children and offers advice to people who are in his same position. His teenage daughters are dating, which sparks the use of the “8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter”. The show, created by veteran comedy writer Tracy Gamble, derives its name and some of its elements from W. Bruce Cameron‘s book 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.

So what are the rules?

Use your hands on my daughter and you’ll lose them after.
You make her cry, I make you cry.
Safe sex is a myth. Anything you try will be hazardous to your health.
Bring her home late, there’s no next date.
Only delivery men honk. Dates ring the doorbell. Once.
No complaining while you’re waiting for her. If you’re bored, change my oil.
If your pants hang off your hips, I’ll gladly secure them with my staple gun.
Dates must be in crowded public places. You want romance? Read a book.

I have a copy, ready for that day when my children start dating! Not kidding! It will hang on the fridge, just wait and see!

8 Simple Rules was John Ritter’s last show. He died in September of 2003, and the show continued. It’s a show that could bring tears to your eyes and make you laugh…all in the same episode!
