It's Still On?

Filed under: TV News

Let's just blame it on the writer's strike, shall we???

For some reason that defies logic, ABC has picked up another season of the Jim Belushi sitcom According To Jim.

You know, that show nobody watches!! You know, that show that was BARELY picked up this season.

According to Jim averages a paltry 5 million viewers per episode. We're sure advertisers are clamoring to buy ads on that show!

You know what really pisses me off about this shit? ABC renewing this shitty shitcom and the fact that 2 really good shows that are smart and witty and funny and actually entertaining on ABC are getting the AX. Cashmere Mafia I heard is already on the chopping block (compared to Lipstick Jungle on NBC, which has worst reviews and sticks but has been promoted better) and Notes From the Underbelly, a well written, funny show! BOOOOO ABC!!!!

Re: Lizz –

Hey Lizz- ATJ costs about $600K per episode to produce and Jericho costs about 2.7 million. That is why they can clog the air with Jim Belushi as opposed to nuclear Skeet.

THIS SHOW IS GREAT, UR AN IDIOT!! WHY CAN'T A MAN'S MAN HAVE A HIT TV SHOW?? THERE'S PLENTY OF DUMBASS SHOWS FOR THE FRUITS & CHICKS TO WATCH!!!
Yak says – reply to this

52

Most of what is on TV is complete shit. When the writers went on strike they should have fired all their asses and hired fresh blood. Most of the current clowns wouldn't know funny if it slipped on a banana peel right in front of them. Ever seen 2 1/2 men? Case closed.
TVland is filled with shitty writers, shitty producers, shitty actors who think they are funny which all combines to make a big pile of stinking shit. This is what I pay a cable bill for?
The worst part is all you morons who think these shit shows are genius and you keep watching them and they keep crapping them out. If the viewing public had an average IQ of 100 I'd be surprised.
Turn off your TVs, get off your fat asses and do some exercise instead.

54

Hey, that is a funny show. It's a great family sitcome. More people would watch it if they didnt move it around so much.
Steve says – reply to this

55

The fact is, ABC makes it as well as syndicates it, and they are making tons in syndication. That is the reason they are making another season.
DANNY says – reply to this

THIS GUY LOOKS SO FUCKIN GOOD TO ME…..WOULD SO DO HIM
Cocobean says – reply to this

57

At least his viewers tune in for more than one minute, unlike Perez Sez. Someone in programming at VH1 must have lost a bet.
Missy says – reply to this

58

What r u talkin' about? I love this show - its better than some stupid reallity show like Flavor of love 1-2-3, or New york 1-2, Rock of Love sluts, bla blah all that bullshit…

I LOVE JIM!!! This is the little show that could. It is everything a sitcom is supposed to be. It's cute, it's funny and it's heartwarming. Andy (Larry Campbell) is funny as hell and so is Dana (Kimberly Williams-Paisley). I'm glad ABC kept it going.

I didnt realize that they still made new episodes of that show lololol. I thought that they were all reruns!
Lorenna says – reply to this

66

I really like that show, they are very funny, maybe because there are no gays in there you don't like it Perez
jimmy says – reply to this

67

This is by far the worst sitcom on TV. It is embarrassing, the writers on this show should use fake names for fear they will never be hired again. If I were John Belushi I've be rolling over in my grave.

I LOVE ACCORDING TO JIM ! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT PEREZ.
erica says – reply to this

I love Jom Belushi and everything he does!
jimmy says – reply to this

I'm confused! I thought "What Perez Says" was the show that nobody watches.
Cat says – reply to this

71

It's still a funny show!
Slick Willey says – reply to this

72

Believe me, it is one of the best comedies on TV. The reason ABC does not push the show is becasue the show has no FAGS or LESBOS.
Whitnie says – reply to this

73

are you kidding me that shows fucking awesome!!!!!!
Amy says – reply to this

74

5 million? Paltry? Sounds pretty good to me. It's actually a pretty good show, too.
jimmyjazz says – reply to this

75

I LIKE THIS SHOW. IT'S GETTING TO WHERE I'LL WATCH ANYTHING THAT ISN'T A REALITY SHOW. EXCEPT BIG BROTHER WITH CRAZY JAMES! DO HIS HOUSEMATES KNOW HE GETS PAID TO LET GUYS SUCK HIM OFF ON CAMERA? TOO HOT
EVER HAVE A FART THAT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU NAUSEOUS? says – reply to this

76

The kind that refuse to DISSIPATE? Well, that is the ETERNAL VIBE of JIM BELUSHI. He is the MOST DISGUSTING, GREASY, PIN-DICKED SCAT-MONSTER TO EVER WIPE HIMSELF UPON THE EARTH.
Laura says – reply to this

77

I love this show! There's just not a bunch of skanks on there so people don't watch it.
JasonSereno.com says – reply to this

78

It's in syndication, dipshit. Every episode is worth a lot more than its 5 million viewers. Go Belushi! Go Salukis!
oscars says – reply to this

79

actually one of the better shows on tv, i like!!!!
Ricky says – reply to this

80

Fuck off Perez, just cause you don't like a show doesn't make it bad, I bet if they put a huge fruit cup in it that has bright hair and a ugly cape you'd love it. I actually can't believe your on tv, you'd think after they heard that voice they'd say oh shit…didn't we try this with Fran Dresher already. Yeah another lovely voice, like nails on a chalkboard yours and hers.
carie says – reply to this

81

I love this show!! Its the only sitcom that is enjoyed in my house. Even the reruns are great!
M says – reply to this

82

I love this show. The interaction between Jim and his bro-in-law, Andy, are hilarious.
Calcbunny says – reply to this

83

At least I can watch this show with my kids….what should I be watching big brother?

I bet this show is making a mint in syndication….It is perfect for that.
Matt says – reply to this

84

Ever heard of demographics? There are some shows out there that do get watched by people other that fat fags with pink hair and company. Let me guess, if they came out with a show with 2 20 year old male models who lived together and it was on FX at 10pm, it would be the next (in your eyes) Seinfeld of the 21st century.
Michelle says – reply to this

85

Please people watch this show! It really is funny. Every single character on the show has something to give, even the children!

86

eww, is that Fran Dresher?
missie says – reply to this

87

I watch the show. It's actually really funny. I was surprised that courtney thorne-smith could pull off comedy.
wewhowatch says – reply to this

88

According to Jim is a good, family show. A lot of people watch it. Or it wouldn't be on air anymore.
CalGal says – reply to this

89

I LOVE According to Jim!! Jim Belushi is hilarious!! If you haven't seen it, don't knock it… it's f-ing funny!! And BTW, #6 (Emily), it's NOT a new "shitcom", it's an existing FUNNY sitcom!

It makes me sad that so much crap gets picked up - for christs sake - ATJ is actualyl painful to watch. …and then shows like Arrested Development get axed. somewhere jesus is crying.
WTF?! says – reply to this

96

Re: Jennifer –

Oh lawd… girl, you need to start watching ChickNetwork or Oxygen or something!! The crappy-ass shows you're describing are only found on those channels. Try looking elsewhere than the networks for your trash.

97

They renewed that piece of shit show and canceled "Cavemen"? ABC SUCKS!
IWonder says – reply to this

98

Re: Lizz –

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. And I heard they were getting the ax because noone watched it. Well gee, I wonder why?! Could it be because it's at freaking 10pm? That is about the stupidest thing ever, and NCIS at 8pm have all been re-runs! It's pretty fucked.

Normally, we share the same views & opinions.
I must say though, I totally disagree with you..

According to Jim is one of my favourite sitcoms,
behinf Two and a Half Men.

I used to stay up till 1:30 in the morn just to watch
the show. I think its pretty good.
