I meant to post this Tuesday but I forgot. I stayed up late Monday night/Tue. Morning and about 4am I was about to finally turn in (because I was finally sleepy)when on Channel 10 (FOX here in Phx.)was Hawaii 5-0 and the episode with John Ritter as the top hat wearing hippie! I believe only his 2nd TV job?
It was the first time since his passing ihad seen the episode,which I last saw about 4 years ago or so. I wasn't going to watch all of it but I just got caught up in it. His role was both attention grabbing and amusing.
Amusing in watching him praise Allah for the suitcase of money he had stolen from other guest star Vic Morrow,who had tried to get "touchy" with his character Ryan. The episode is called "Two Doves and Mr. Heron" (or vice versra).
It's always so strange when you watch a re-run of a show in which the stars are no longer here. They seem to be on earth at that moment,as real and alive as they were then, and then they're gone all over again.
It's been a year & 18 days but I still can't really laugh at 3's Company yet,I guess knowing he's gone makes it difficult. Although I'm sure he'd wantpeople who loved the show to continue to enjoy it. Someday.
Been me,later!
