quit comparing jim with his brother they are totally different the only thing they had in common is the fact that they were brothers i am from the time of john and loved his humor but he is gone he died because of his own stupidity so let him rest in peace he is gone on the otherhand jim is here not because of his brother but because of his own style of humor i find him funny and handsome and his show is refreshing to watch cheryl and him have a great repoir they compliment each other andy and dana are great too
The episode last night with the kids going to a concert and Jim having to go on stage to locate them in the audience since everyone was dressed the same, kind of made me think they were trying to copy the Blues Brothers. He even had a harmonica.
I am glad to see Jim coming back for another season.
People can knock this show all they want; but I rather watch this than all the reality TV, crime dramas and sitcoms geared toward women; like Samantha Who or New Christine.
Jim is the funniest show since Married with Children

Leave Jim Alone! There are shows on TV much worse!
And What's Wrong with the Fatty married to a hottie sitcom. Courtney Thorne- Smith is a hottie. Just like the wives on shows like Still Standing, Yes Dear, George Lopez and King of Queens.
Sure beats looking at Christina, who looks like she is 50, Applegate on Samantha Who, Julia Louis Dreyfus, who thinks she still is 30, on New Christine or Alyison Hannigan's Chicken Body on How I met your mother or the woman; or except for the one married to the NBA player; the women on Desperate Housewives

Acording to Jim may be the worst sit-com I have ever seen. I watch it from time to time just to see how unfunny it can be. I have NEVER laughed once. And I don't just sit there trying not to laugh, I want to laugh. It's NEVER FUNNY. And poor Belushi tries so hard to be lovable and goofy and he's just pathetic. The only reason he isn't the most unfunny character ever on a sit-com, is because his fat friend probably is.
This show is still on? When? I swear to God I thought it was cancelled 2 years ago by ABC! As far as John Belushi goes, He was not a comic genius; But, he was awesome in Animal House, The Blues Brothers and his samuari skits on SNL. However, Jim Belushi hasn't done anything funny since he played the Guy in the Gorilla suit in Trading Places.
Day One.
However, it's not a terrible show (unlike other Day One series). Not good, but not a bad one either. In a way, you could say it has been treading water throughout its entire run.
Overall, it's just an average series with nothing exceptional or terrible about it.
... at least so far.

I thought this piece of Crap died a long time ago??? It keeps coming back to haunt us!!! When will this UNFUNNY piece of sludge GO AWAY??? Does Jim Belushi have some sort of damning evidence over the network suits to keep this on the air? GO AWAY ALREADY!! I'm sure the network has another blockbuster Reality Show standing-by ready to step in! As much as I HATE Reality Shows, ANYTHING would be better than this Stinkbomb "Comedy"!! Go away, Jim Belushi!! Live off the residuals from this mess, and go bother your neighbor Julie Newmar with your illegal fence, and then go make trouble on The Vineyard, kicking strollers off your "private" beach!!
I thinnk it's hilarious that so many posters here claim to not like this show because a guy like Jim Belushi would never land a hottie like CTS. Who cares? It's a sitcom, people! It's not "Gone With the Wind". If we're going to start rating how realistic sitcoms are, I think we'd be pretty much checking all of them off of the list. There hasn't been a realistic one made to date, and that includes "MASH" and "All in the Family".
First, I disagree with those who say that Jim Belushi has lived off of his brother's reputation. Jim is not a bad comedic actor and has been in some good movies. There are far worse actors on tv. Plus, sorry I know this is blasphemy, but John Belushi was and is overrated (and I write this with all due respect, may he rest in peace). "Animal House" was funny as was "Blues Brothers," but John was not a genius as so many have annointed him.
Now, in terms of "According to Jim," it used to be a reasonable tv sitcom--never hilarious, just kind of amusing. Lots of sitcoms are like this. The writers, though, are just going through the motions now. This show should have been cancelled a couple of seasons ago at least. I don't think ABC has much else to put on, and this probably still draws a good demographic audience. Overall, this is kind of a silly kids show, and it's not meant to be taken all that seriously.

The show is clearly going through the motions now. There's been very little plot the past few weeks. I wonder if this is why CTS was "in Florida" for a month or so, and is now "bedridden until the twins are born"? Could it be she wants no part of this travesty? I can't say I blame her.
I see the twins being a boy and a girl, and they're named after Cheryl's parents. Hugs, tears, roll the flashback sequence (slo-mo's of the kids over the years with sad music behind it all), show one last scene where everyone comes out and bows. The (merciful) end.

Get ready to add the Birth category to this show. Jim and Cheryl will be expecting twins that will probably be born in the season finale.
Steve,
Thanks for making it clear why this show is still around. I should not have to explain but I will anyway. You see, long before Jim Belushi made a career out of not being funny and making lousy television shows, he had a brother named John Belushi. John, you see, had all the talent in the Belushi family. John was actually funny AND talented.
Back in 1978 he made a movie called Animal House. It was a really funny movie - in other words, nothing at all like this show. In this movie, John (the funny one, remember?) said the line "Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Sadly John lived a wild life that eventually killed him - and his death also meant the death of the last funny Belushi in this planet. According to Jim is a formulaic piece of garbage that caters to the lowest common denominator.
If I had to describe this drivel it would be: the show with the dumb fat guy married to the really hot wife. The dumb fat guy will get himself into some sort of whacky shenanigans and his hot wife will inevitably catch him and good laughs will be had by all! Of course, I could be describing any of a myriad of formulaic sitcoms but you knew that, didn't you?
