I'm sorry, but I have to speak up here.
I think this talk about "John Ritter is gone, the show is going to die!" is very premature.
There is still Katy Sagal who is a wonderful comic actress in her own right, as well as a now established acting family at the show. I think before we start crying the death of the series, we should give the show a few weeks to pick up the pieces and see where they go from here.
The next few weeks will be the toughest for the series. Once they get past those, the show will then take it's new stride. At that time, if we want to sing the death song for the series, so be it, but I don't want to proclaim it yet.
It will never be the same series it was, but that doesn't mean it can't be as good. Who knows... the best may be yet to come.
