I could always depend on this show for a laugh and when I was younger I didn't really realise how impressive it's cast truly was. It's hard not to mention what happened with John Ritter, at the time you thought that would be the end of the show. The writers handled it well and was able to make a fresh approach to give the show an extension. It would be interesting to know where the show could have ended up, we have definitely missed out on more great comedy but would it have limited the eventual range of the show? Maybe not, i'd like to imagine we'd have seen Paul see his kids grow up and be proud of them.
What the writers did brilliantly was they didn't just gloss over the loss of a major character in the way that, That 70's Show (for example) tried to. They acknowledged it, and in a way that it is a tribute to not only the character but Ritter himself. That alone makes it stand out from the crowd, you also get to see Kaley Cuoco begin the launch of her career.
