REVIEW: ACCORDING TO JIM Season One
10/19/08
The first season of the
outrageously funny family comedy “According to Jim” is
available for the first time on DVD from ABC Studios and
LIONSGATE®. Starring Emmy® nominee Jim Belushi (Outstanding
Writing in a Variety or Music Program, “Saturday Night
Live,” 1984) as an abrasive but lovable father and Courtney
Thorne-Smith (“Ally McBeal”) as his gorgeous and feisty
wife, “According to Jim” was nominated for two Emmy® awards
and is one of the longest-running live-action comedies
currently on TV. The According to Jim: Season One 4-disc DVD
set features all 22 episodes from the debut season, which
originally aired in 2001-2002 on ABC. Timed to coincide with
season eight’s mid-season premiere, According to Jim: Season
One will be available October 21st, 2008.
In this earthy family comedy, Jim (Belushi) is the macho
“everyman” who challenges wife, Cheryl (Thorne-Smith), with
his stubborn manliness but contagious charm. Tagging along
with this duo of happily married opposites are their three
precocious kids. A success at his construction business and
the family breadwinner at home, Jim feeds his other passion,
blues music, playing with his six-man garage band. He keeps
Cheryl in turmoil with his boyish bravado and ever willful
antics, but their underlying love guarantees that they are
in this marriage for keeps.
