DVD Review: An Absolute Comic Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
John Ritter (lead in Three's Company, the US version of Man About The House) stars as Paul Hennessey, husband of Cate (Married With Children's Katey Sagal) and father of three kids: Self-obsorbed 16 year old blonde bombshel Bridget, sarcastic, moody "middle child" Kerry and younger brother Rory, who has a rather creepy habit of hiding in his sisters' closets and an ambition to own a monkey.
Paul writes a "slice of life" column in a sports paper, and when wife Cate returns to work as a nurse after being a stay-at-home-mum, it's fallen to Paul to be a stay-at-home-dad.
Trouble is, Paul is overprotective and worries that his daughters are dating boys with their own agendas. He constantly warns any potential suiters to watch their step. Or as he puts it, "You have hormones and I have a temper. If your hormones get in the ring with my temper, my temper will win." Or, "If you make my daughters cry, I'll make you cry." The girls hate it when he scares their boyfriends while they're getting ready upstairs. They call him "Psycho-Dad". But when Paul tries to be cool and "hip", the girls remind him that no one's said hip in years - and anyway, it's a bodypart!
And when Paul takes the kids to school, he isn't even allowed to say "bye" or speak to them at all. In fact, it's preferable that he parks around the corner. After all, he is a hundred, right?
Bridget is obsessed with her looks. She's the most popular girl in school - and knows it. She's never a read book in her life, whereas Kerry is the smart one who gets all the "A"s. Rory constantly sniches on his sisters - and loves doing so, getting a sort of twisted pleasure out of it!
Paul struggles between protectness and embarresment, quite often finding himself in a no win situation. "What is it when you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't? Oh yes: Fatherhood."
Fortunatly for the kids, mum Cate is more laid back. It's Paul who reads the book on parenting!
This show is my all-time favourite American sitcom. It is a laugh a minute - even three laughs a minute! Why not check it out and enjoy every witty oneliner, side-splitting situation, fantastical farce, riotous reaction and many hilarious hours in this amazing sitcom tour-de-force which everyone can relate to!

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