8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter #2
 John Ritter and Katey Sagal return to series television in this charming family comedy about a loving, rational dad who suddenly discovers that his two darling daughters have unexpectedly morphed into hormonally-charged, incomprehensible teenagers. Paul Hennessy has grown accustomed to his stay-at-home wife Cate taking care of their son and two daughters. His job as a sports writer kept him on the road a lot during the kids' formative years. But when Cate decides to return to work as a hospital nurse, Paul takes a job as a columnist and agrees to make the duties of raising the kids a shared experience. Paul fondly remembers the days when his daughters would sit on his lap singing silly songs, and he was their hero for scaring away monsters from under the bed. But those days are long gone. Although not new to fatherhood, Paul is just a bit rusty on day-to-day interaction and discovers that he's grown a little out of touch with his kids � especially his daughters. His value has been reduced to a wallet and a ride to the mall. Sixteen-year-old Bridget has matured into a beautiful and popular teenager with a different boyfriend each week and a taste for fashion that tends to be a little too revealing for her father's taste. By contrast, 15-year-old Kerry is intelligent and cute, but her lack of self-confidence has led her to hide behind a mask of sarcasm. Thank goodness for 13-year-old son Rory, fondly referred to as "The Boy" by Paul and Cate, who remains on the sane track � at least for the time being. Though Bridget and Kerry still love their father, Paul has to come to grips with the fact that he is no longer the most important man in their lives at the moment. Dating boys and fitting in with their peers are the girls' top priorities. No matter what they do, Paul has one major rule that will never change � "If you make my daughters cry, I'll make you cry." __________________

I loved Cate's possible pregnancy storyline in season 1/beginning of season 2 when I watched that I really wanted her to be pregnant, that'd been so cute to see.

^I think the kids would have liked having another sibling too especially the girls they wanted her pregnant by the end of the episode..I guess fanfiction for that now although Paul not sure how we would have reacted if she was pregnant because he didn't seem too happy about it but then neither were the kids..at first.

^I think both girls were sweet to Cate in the end they wanted her to have the baby (if she was pregnant that is) I loved how they came up and hugged her when she came back from the hospital.

I think one thing I really enjoyed was how real the characters dealing with Paul's death way... They didn't brush over it and really captured what it was like to grieve and to grieve in different ways.
