When his wife Cate (Segal) returns to the workforce, Paul Hennessy (Ritter) takes a bigger role in the lives of his two daughters and one son. Though the girls may appear to be of dating age to the rest of the world, Paul just isn't ready to cut his daughters loose. He comes up with a series of rules that seem perfectly reasonable to him, such as "If you make my daughters cry, I'll make you cry." His heart is in the right place, but the teens certainly don't agree.

superb........

this dvd series is superb. It is about a married couple with 3 children, which is set in detroit. Paul Hennessy, is a sportswriter who is prompted by his wife Cate's return to nursing, to take a more active role in raising their two teenage daughters, Bridget (played by Kaley Cuoco - Billie in Charmed), and Kerry (played by Amy Davidson), and their son Rory (played by Martin Spanjers). He is soon overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the father of two teenage daughters, and misses being a sports writer. Paul begins writing a newspaper column from home, about his struggles with his children, and offers advice to people who are in his same position. His teenage daughters are dating, which sparks the use of the '8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter'. The rules are: 1. Use your hands on my daughter and you'll lose them after. 2. You make her cry, I make you cry. 3. Safe sex is a myth. Anything you try will be hazardous to your health. 4. Bring her home late, there's no next date. 5. Only delivery men honk. Dates ring the doorbell. Once. 6. No complaining while you're waiting for her. If you're bored, change my oil. 7. If your pants hang off your hips, I'll gladly secure them with my staple gun. 8. Dates must be in crowded public places. You want romance? Read a book. well worth renting out.

katey Sagal was brilliant in this series. The only thing spoiling it was the sad and sudden passing of John Ritter. james Garner was a brillant as ever.
