	CNN.com - 'Rules' without Ritter, with emotion - Nov. 3, 2003
		"This is going to be a hard and painful week," director James Widdoes told the cast and crew of "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" when production on the ABC domestic comedy resumed October 13, almost four weeks to the day after the sudden death of the show's star, John Ritter.
		ABC's Susan Lyne and Lloyd Braun and Touchstone TV chief Stephen McPherson were "almost telepathically in sync" from the outset with the writing staff's desire to tell the story as realistically as possible, Gamble says.
		It was quickly decided that the parents of Sagal's Cate Hennessy character would come stay with the family for an extended period.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of National Lampoon's Animal House - Collector's Edition
		They find their way to Delta, which Larry darkly notes has a reputation as "the worst house on campus." Among Delta’s inhabitants: ladies’ man Otter (Tim Matheson), low-key sarcasm king Boon (Peter Riegert), nervous spokesman Hoover (James Widdoes), motorcycle-riding (through the halls and up stairs) D-Day (Bruce McGill) and unpredictable, unstoppable force Bluto (John Belushi).
		Matheson and Riegert make a great razor-tongued double act, McGill has his own brand of eye-widening insanity, and Hulce and Furst are both endearing as newcomers to the kingdom of madness.
		Donald Sutherland is very funny as a reasonably hip professor and Vernon, Metcalf, James Daughton and Kevin Bacon all manage to be hilarious as the smarmy fascists theoretically running the show.

		Director John Landis put himself on the map with this low-budget, fabulously successful comedy, which made a then-astounding 62 million dollars and started a slew of careers for its cast in the process.
		The Deltas, oblivious to the danger they're in, are having a great time, steeped in irreverence, mild debauchery, and occasional drunkenness, led by seniors Otter (Tim Matheson), Hoover (James Widdoes), D-Day (Bruce McGill), Boon (Peter Riegert), and pledge master John "Bluto" Blutarsky (John Belushi).
		They're given enough rope to hang themselves, but even then manage to get into comical misadventures on a road trip (where they arrange an assignation with a group of young ladies from Emily Dickinson University).
