During this week of universal brouhaha, the eyes of the world have been trained --- where else? --- on the network suits at ABC, somberly awaiting their announcement of whether they will air the three taped episodes of their only hit show after the death of John Ritter, or cancel the series outright and never let those episodes see the light of day out of respect for Ritter's family (until a DVD release becomes economically advantageous).
But what does the indomitable, virtually unwatched fourth-place network do? Faced with really shitty choices, they find a third way. They announce they will turn "8 Simple Rules" into a tragedy, in which the sitcom family works its way onscreen through the unexpected death of their beloved dad. No word yet on whether they will use footage of Ritter actually collapsing on the set to add that special kind of realism.
This may very well turn out to be the Worst Decision Ever Made. Right up there with my having unprotected sex with that African monkey in 1979, or Tikhonov's decision to bench Tretiak.
