Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)OK, we all miss John Ritter. It's really strange to turn on the TV and not find him on somewhere, except in reruns of "Three's Company."
The release of this TV series on DVD is exciting news for John Ritter fans. For those unfamiliar with it, "Hearts Afire" was his 1992-1995 sitcom co-starring Markie Post. John is a senator's aide in Washington, D.C. who is surrounded by funny characters and funny situations. The dialogue is sophisticated and snappy, the chemistry between Ritter and Post is hot, and the supporting players (paticularly the hilarious Conchata Ferrell) couldn't have been better cast.
"Hearts Afire" is notable today because it co-starred a then-unknown actor named Billy Bob Thornton. It should be no surprise that Billy Bob scored many of the show's funniest lines. He stole nearly every scene he was in. It was on this series that Ritter met Billy Bob and the writer/director hired the king of pratfalls against type for what would become one of his most famous roles, the gay man in "Sling Blade."
If you know this show, you'll be buying this set. If you are unfamiliar with it, rent it. You'll fall in love with it and return here to buy it.
Now let's hope other Ritter series and TV movies will also show up on DVD -- with "Hooperman" leading the list.
