I used to love that show. But now I stopped watching it. I have seen re-runs on but I dont know what time or channel. I think that they stopped showing it because one of the main characters died and there werent many episodes.

It was on CW in reruns. But the series that ran on ABC fizzled out one year after John Ritter's death. If he hadn't passed on when he did, the show might still be on today.
Historically, TV shows try to move on without it's main star but can't after 1 season or 2 because of the death of a prinicipal actor. Back in 1990, Redd Foxx best known for playing Fred Sanford on Sanford & Son in the 1970's returned to television in a new show called "The Royal Family" that aired on CBS.
Foxx played a US Postal worker and Della Reese played his wife before she went on to star in Touched By An Angel. Foxx suffered a fatal heart attack early in 1991 and the show didn't survive the rest of that season.
