REMEMBRANCE MARATHON

John Ritter to Be Honored on 22nd Anniversary of Death With TV Marathon

Ritter’s family, including Ritter’s son and TV stars Adam Devine, Kaley Cuoco, and Jason Alexander, are among those choosing episodes.

The long-running sitcom Three’s Company is having a special tribute marathon on Thursday to honor the 22nd anniversary of John Ritter’s death. The marathon is in collaboration with The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health and will begin airing on Pluto TV’s 24/7 Three’s Company channel at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. In addition to episodes selected by original cast members and Ritter’s family, including Ritter’s son, Tyler Ritter, TV stars Adam Devine, Kaley Cuoco, and Jason Alexander are also handpicking some of their favorites. Some episodes that were chosen include “Double Trouble” by Devine, where Ritter pretends to be his own cowboy hat-wearing twin, and Cuoco, who starred with Ritter in 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, chose “Up in the Air,” which she called the “best episode of all time of almost any show ever.” Ritter died in 2003 of a “dissection of the aorta,” after collapsing on the set of his ABC comedy 8 Simple Rules.
