John Ritter leaves behind his days ot playing a goofy bachelor on ‘Three’s Company*' and takes on the role of Paul Hennesy, a clueless dad who agrees to take care ot his three children while his wife Cate (Katey Segal from "Married with Children”) returns to work. What seems to be a simple task turns out to be a huge challenge as Paul realizes his kids 16-year-old Bridget, 14- year-old Kerry and 13-year-old Rory aren't tl»e same little angels whom he used to spend a lew sweet hours w ith after work in the past. While Paul tries to do what he thinks is best for his kids, each of his children seem to have their own agendas. I he bottom line he doesn t understand them and they don't understand him. What follow s as a result is a chain of laugh-out- loud mishaps and events as Paul tries to be the best father he can. There is constant mtscommunica- tion and misunderstandings, which consequently lead to some hilarious situations. The major nega tive point in the show is the producers attempt to fit the children into certain stereotypies, and mak ing the characters adhere to them strictly. Bridget's constant attitude towards her father gets old after a while. Compared to all of the other shows that prime time has to offer on Tuesday nights, this show would probably rank alter "That 70’s Show” which runs in the same lime slot. As entertaining as "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter” is. it simply doesn't have enough juice to make loyal "That 70’s Show” viewers ditch their favorite neo 70's gang. Nishat Fittinto "Do Over" Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. on the WB Starring Penn Badgley When ihe executives ni the WU •s.u uv-elho to brainstorm a new show to (ill up the Thursday night post-Friends death slot, the best they could come up w ith is “Do Over”: a show packed w ith constant 80’s references and a lot of distasteful babbling. The only show comparable to “Do Over ” is “That 80's Show” which Fox canceled after a season. You would think the WB would have gotten a hint from Fox's mistake. But it didn't and as a result viewers have yet another half hour of mindless jargon on their hands. The sitcom begins in the present, and the view ers are introduced to the main character. Jixrl Larson, a 35-year-old single, balding newspaper salesman. After a lire in his house renders Joel unconscious, he wakes up to find himself in 1981. He’s back in high school and 14 again. How did he get there? What happened to the fire? All of these questions remain unanswered as Joel goes around like an idiot, yelling and swearing that he’s 35 and in a dream. His ranting continues for the better part of the show .
