John Ritter died in real life. SO what they did in the show was to kill him off in a car crash and then Jim came to live with them to look after Cate during the mourning period and never leaves..

The show did not kill him off in a car crash.

It was quite sad to hear he had passed away. I watch the show on ABC1 also and thought they kept the show going very well without him, it's definitely my favourite show to watch on that channel, either the episodes before or after his death. I'm suprised it didn't last long after he passed away, it's very funny.
