8 Simple Rules

8 Simple Rules is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from September 17, 2002 to April 15, 2005. The series had a total of 73 episodes.
== Plot ==
The rules are: Use your hands on my daughter and you'll lose them after. You make her cry, I make you cry. Safe sex is a myth. Anything you try will be hazardous to your health. Bring her home late, there's no next date. If you pull into my driveway and honk, you better be dropping off a package because you're sure not picking anything up (Alternative rule #5: Only delivery men honk. Dates ring the doorbell. Once.) No complaining while you're waiting for her. If you're bored, change my oil. If your pants hang off your hips, I'll gladly secure them with my staple gun. Dates must be in crowded public places. You want romance? Read a book. The third season (after Ritter's death) took a creative turn, revolving more around cousin C.J. (David Spade) and grandfather Jim (James Garner), than the immediate Hennessy family, more specifically not revolving around the raising of the Hennessy children. After the novelty of newly added ensemble characters wore off, the series returned to its original format.
