"According to Jim" was an ABC sitcom starring Jim Belushi as a classic suburban dad with a knack for finding the easy way out. Jim is a lovable but lazy guy who would rather play with his blues band or watch sports than deal with household responsibilities. He lives with his intelligent and patient wife, Cheryl, and their children.
Each episode follows Jim as he devises a shortcut or a slightly dishonest scheme to avoid work or get his way. His plans almost always backfire spectacularly, leading to hilarious consequences and forcing him to eventually do the right thing. With help from his wife and his quirky brother-in-law, Andy, Jim navigates the comical challenges of family life. The show has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.

Jim is an abrasive but lovable suburban father. Much like his real life counterpart, Jim's character is noted as a fan of Blues music, as well as the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and the Chicago Cubs. He's married to a gorgeous woman, Cheryl, and raises his five children – Ruby, Gracie, Kyle, and twins, Gordan and Jonathan – in a big house. Everything is perfect for Jim, if it wasn't for the messy situations he gets himself into and his laziness, which often makes him search for alternative ways of doing things with less effort. Of course, having his wife's siblings hanging out at his house all the time is no help. While Andy might be one of his best friends, Dana often teams up with Cheryl against Jim.
