8 Simple Rules: The Complete First Season is available on DVD beginning August 7th, 2007.

The three-disc box set holds all 28 episodes featuring star John Ritter plus never-before-seen comedic moments with John and the cast from the 2002 season of the Emmy® Award-winning sitcom.

TV hall-of-famer John Ritter plays sportswriter Paul Hennessey, a father who lives by 8 Simple Rules, or better yet, one golden law: keep your hands off teenage daughters Bridget (Kaley Cuoco - “Charmed”), the boy-crazy one, and the moody and artistic Kerry (Amy Davidson - “Malcolm in the Middle”). Paul’s wife Cate (Katey Sagal) fully supports Paul’s mission, but her nursing career eats up much of her time, leaving dad to play a more active role. Luckily for the already overburdened Paul, there’s “The Boy,” a.k.a., teen son Rory (Martin Spanjers – “Max Keeble’s Big Move”), to lend wisecracks and mischief.

Sadly, John Ritter died during the filming of the show, the next season, I think?

Just by way of review, here are the rules:

The Rules:
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 place. You want romance? Read a book.
