Ditch DayEpisode Number: 76 Season Num: 3 First Aired: Friday April 15, 2005 Prod Code: 324 |
After C.J. discovers that Cate may be starting a clandestine relationship with Principal Gibb, he blabs it to Bridget. An angry Cate gets even by having Gibb put C.J. in charge of the detention of students on Ditch Day, and C.J. gets even by detaining Bridget. Meanwhile, because she is stuck in detention and can't complete the ditch day prank herself, Bridget convinces Kerry and Rory to steal the rival school's mascot. Nicole Richie ("The Simple Life") guest stars as one of Bridget's fellow detainees.

The reason 8 Simple Rules never got a great sendoff was because Ditch Day was suppose to be a season finale but when the fall schedule for ABC's 05-06 season was revealed 8 Simple Rules was one of the two shows cancelled, as opposed to Jake in Progess and Less Then Perfect, thus ABC ended the show without a proper ending.
(edit)
Katey Sagal (Cate), Kaley Cuoco (Bridget), Amy Davidson (Kerry) and Martin Spanjers (Rory) are the only actors to appear in every episode of the series. In second place is James Garner (Jim) who appeared in 44 of the 76 episodes of the series.
(edit)
Katey Sagal (Cate), Kaley Cuoco (Bridget), Amy Davidson (Kerry), Martin Spanjers, (Rory) Billy Aaron Brown (Kyle) and Nikki Danielle Moore (Jenna) are the only actors to appear in all three seasons.
