About 8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter
- Released on September 17, 2002
8 Simple Rules is an American sitcom television series originally starring John Ritter and Katey Sagal as middle-class parents Paul and Cate Hennessy, raising their three children. Kaley Cuoco, Amy Davidson and Martin Spanjers co-starred as their teenage kids: Bridget, Kerry and Rory Hennessy. The series ran on ABC from September 17, 2002, to April 15, 2005.

The series' name and premise were derived from the book 8 Simple Rules by W. Bruce Cameron.
