John Ridder just started a new TV sitcom a year ago and was the voice for PBS kids show Clifford The Big Red Dog.

I like Clifford.

I liked Johnny Cash too. I still have the live at Folsom Prison 8 track. My favorite song was Ring of Fire when I was growing up, and then Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down was my dad's.

Our prayers go out to all the families. May GOD watch over them.:cry: :cry:

I like Clifford.

wow i didnt know he was the voice of clifford and the show was 8 simple rules ( with the woman that played peg bundy as his wife ) I love country music but I really wasnt a fan of Johnny cash but I know what he was to country music and it is truly a sad day

iluvwdw · 09-12-2003

John Ritter is the voice of Clifford??? I watch this nearly every day (23 month old son...go figure) and it doesn't sound like him to me!!! Maybe a bit SIMILAR, but I never would have guessed!

He was only 55 years old...what a shame!!!

DisneyAnne · 09-12-2003

Such sad news... having grown-up in Nashville, I can tell you that the death of Johnny Cash is a major loss. I am NOT into country music at all, but the respect I have for him and what his career has meant to my "hometown" is huge.

No more Jack Tripper? UGH! John Ritter has always been good for a laugh... remember when he would act gay in front of Mr. Furley so the living arrangement wouldn't be disrupted?

We seem to be losing quite a few entertainers recently...

I was driving to my school for the day when I heard about both Johns. Heaven is certainly a lot brighter this day,isn't it?

LRTJS · 09-12-2003

I had not heard this. I wondered why I heard Johnny Cash on the radio this morning as it was not a country station. What happened to John Ritter. I really like his show that is on ABC now.
:cry:

GrumpyDad · 09-12-2003

The world will miss Johnny Cash deeply. While I consider myself a rocker and roller, his music was special to me. As a young boy I had occasion to live with my Grandmother in Phoenix, AZ for a while. It was a difficult time and I spent much of it with the HUGE cabinet sterio system she owned ( no TV ). She had a large selection of classical music and Polka tunes, not really anything a rebelious youth could get into. One day she came home from work with two Johnny Cash albums, Ring Of Fire and I Walk The Line. I must have listened to them a thousand times. To this day when I hear a song from one of those records I can still remember the words and tune and inevitably I will begin singing along.

He was a true pioneer and a good soul, may he find his June and eternal peace.

Wow....I can not beleive the news about John Ritter. I haven't tuned into the news today. I have always liked his shows and movies. He was on such a come back trail with the new ABC show.

Hey Anne, you mentioned him playing a gay guy in Three's Company. Did you ever see Slingblade? He was great in this movie. He played a serious acting role as a gay man who was friends with the Billy Bob Thorton character.

ilvminnie · 09-12-2003

I'll truly miss both of them. Growing up my father (who was my idol!) loved country music, therefore I did. I loved the old country artists like Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Tex Ritter (yep, John's dad!). Johnny Cash had some hard knocks in his life, but I truly believe had a firm faith in God.

And John Ritter!!! I always loved 3's Company, & recently we really enjoyed 8 Simple Rules. Did anyone see the episode where he kind of flashed back to the 3's Company thing??? Hilarious! What a shame...& so young, too! Just goes to show...none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow!

Thanks for the information. It is a tragedy. You never know from one minute to the next what life will bring.

**DisneyTeacher** · 09-12-2003

What a sad day. I heard about both deaths on the news this morning and was truly shocked. How sad for both families. John Ritter was so young, his 4 children and the rest of his family are in my prayers. 55 years is just not enough time.

tiggerlover1971 · 09-12-2003
