I assume a few episodes of 8 Simple Rules season 2 are already in the can. I wonder what ABC will do with them?Not sure what they will do with them, but according to the AP article, he was on the set last night when he fell ill.

I'm sure they'll show any completed episodes, but I wonder if they'll try to retool/recast the show or just end it.I was thinking the opposite, that they will not show the episodes already completed. With John Ritter passing away, any completed episodes shown would be so under the shadow of his passing - defintitely takes the fun out of watching it.
I know that some people would prefer to watch them, so he could make us laugh once more - and I would fall into that category, but I don't know if that will happen.
I doubt they'll continue the series. They tried that with Chico and the Man and it was a failure - when the lead star of a sitcom dies, a show loses its escapism, its ability to make people laugh. A show like Eight is Enough got through Diana Hyland's death because Dick Van Patten was the lead of the show and because it was a drama. It wasn't meant to make people laugh.
At any rate, John Ritter was one of my favorites and the world will miss him.
I doubt they'll continue the seriesNot to sound crass, but you can proabably expect a 1st Season DVD announcment soon. Proabably including eps that are already in the can
