Another episode after the death of the unforgettable John Ritter (Paul Hennessey). This episode was definitely one of the most tearjerker ones, one of the most painful to watch episodes...putting episode: Goodbye (1 and 2) asside. Rory knew that his father would want him to play basketball and achieve his dreams, but this thirteen year-old boy cannot bear continue playing this game without his loving father.
More of John Ritter's memorable episodes that had no live audience in it. Just plain...painful.moreless
Episode Summary
