Synopsis of According to Jim

Jim is a carefree, cheerful family man who lives in the suburbs of Chicago. He is a fan of blues and of the city's sports teams: the Bears, the Cubs, the Bulls and the Blackhawks. Together with his wife, Cheryl, who tries to keep some sense in the house, he is raising three children: Ruby, Gracie and Kyle. Jim always looks for the easiest way to get things done, because his laziness leads him to shortcuts that save him effort. That gets him into tricky situations he has to resolve as best he can. Stingy, selfish, rude and arrogant, he is never a perfect father. The comedy, starring Jim Belushi, was created by Tracy Newman and Jonathan Stark and airs on ABC.

Trivia about According to Jim

Jim Belushi directed 30 episodes of the series, in addition to playing Jim, and is credited as an executive producer.
Jim's band on the show is The Sacred Hearts, a real band from House of Blues in which Belushi often serves as lead vocalist.
Belushi didn't want the lead character to apologize at the end of every episode, and he made that point to the writers.
ABC aired the show in prime time against Frasier, NBC's powerhouse, but it failed to beat the competition.
The show gained viewers week after week until it became ABC's second most-watched comedy.
SFGate critic John Carmen called the pilot a "formulaic comedy" and singled out just one scene, in which Gracie proclaimed, "I have a vagina."
In December 2008, Larry Joe Campbell claimed the sets had been destroyed, although a final episode had been filmed.
On May 15, 2007, ABC announced it would not renew the series, but on June 27 it reversed the decision and ordered a seventh season of 18 episodes.
