I watched most of the shows TV Land pulled out of the vault to pay tribute to John Ritter. They got his appeaences on Hawaii 5-0,Mannix,Starsky and Hutch,Mary Tyler Moore,Rhoda,The Love Boat,The Cosby Show and his other show Hooperman. I don't know if they showed,"Hearts Afire" from 1993 but if they did I missed it,darn it. Speaking of Mannix,I noticed something very ridiculous in the episode. Mannix comes to the house of Ritter (playing a bad guy) and his wife and while talking to her in a close up I think to myself,"this place looks familiar". Pull back to a wide shot of Ritter coming down the stairs with a gun and then I see it! It's a very badly disguised Brady Bunch living room! The front door's different and 2 very ugly chairs and a table are below the staircase! If they were gonna use that set,they should have disguised it better! I was waiting for Alice to come charging in with the boxing gloves on!
Or Mr. Brady to give a stern lecture to all of them!
Anyhow,it was a nice tribute to a very versitile actor. RIP John Ritter. Miss ya!
