Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A Brilliant Conflict

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely love this show. It's so great. I cannot express how much it makes me laugh. Especially when you see something like someone getting a camera phone. Just because it's a decade old doesn't mean it doesn't still hold up.This TV show is about a man, named Jim, duh, and his family. His wife, Cheryl, daughters Ruby, and Gracie, and son Kyle. Then you also have Cheryl's hilarious siblings, Andy, and Dana. Every episode shows a new, and hilarious adventure. Anyone who loves comedy, will definitely love this show.Best part about this TV show: Everything.Worst part about this TV show: Absolutely nothing.Recommended for: Comedy lovers.Overall, I give this TV show a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.

Jim (Jim Belushi) and Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith) have three kids in Chicago. Her brother Andy (Larry Joe Campbell) is his best friend. Her sister Dana (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) often makes fun of her brother-in-law.It's easy to dismiss this long running family sitcom. All the stars are aligned for people to take easy pot shots.1.Jim Belushi is NOT his brother.2.Yet another fat boorish husband with a hot wife.3.All the jokes have been done before.4.No edgy stuff. Just so middle America.But does that truly justify all the hate? The humor is cute enough. Larry Joe Campbell has some hilarious moments. All in all, I think it's has enough comedy to sit thru. Why not? Especially if you're sitting with your family and have little kids. Trust me, you don't want to sit thru something edgy with your little kids.

Of the people I know who don't like this show, it pretty much boils down to them not liking Jim Belushi. That, he was only famous for being John's brother. Well, I don't know or care of how true or false that might be. John Belushi died two years before I was even born, so I owe him no loyalty. Lol.On a more serious note, this show made me laugh. Plain and simple. It didn't necessarily break any new grounds, or pursue any new formula. It just managed to be funny. Yes, Jim's character is a slob, a jerk, an insecure ass**** who needs reassurance. That is what drives a lot of the story lines, and I'm fine with that. But In typical sitcom fashion, he "learns a valuable lesson" in these said story lines to make him more manageable. Courtney Thorne-Smith plays his "long suffering" wife trying to cope with his antics. Yes, we've seen it before. But it was FUNNY. Kim Williams-Paisley plays Jim's SMOKING HOT sister-in-law, and of course those two are largely at odds with each other throughout the series run. But they also show true caring and affection for each other when the time comes. And Larry Joe Campbell plays Jim's best friend and brother-in-law, Andy. He plays the butt of many jokes regarding his luck with women, or for that matter life in general. I have no complaints, all of the main characters appeal to me just fine.One of my favorite story arcs is where Jim is distraught over something regarding his infant son. For instance, his wife allowing him to wear a dress for Halloween. Or his wife buying him a Green Bay Packers football, despite Jim being a HUGE Chicago Bears fan (arch-rivals of the Packers), and hoping to pass that on to his son (like most parents do). This brings in a fantasy segment in which Jim speaks to a teen aged/young adult version of his son regarding the topic at hand. Yes, Jim may be a pompous jerk, an ass-hat, but he doesn't wrap the show up in "his" own viewpoints. There's still a moral, and still a concession made by such an opinionated man.Really though, if you catch this one on TV, watch it. I don't see how Jim Belushi's character on this show is any harder to deal with then Doug Heffernan on King of Queens (who at first, I couldn't stand). It's got laughs, it's got solid plots (even if some aren't the most original), it's got a good time.

Average is what I can call this sitcom with clear conscience. James Belushi is a walking hit. Here he's a man's man, kind of live Homer Simpson, having the magical ability to seduce you with anything bad while sneering superbly at it in the same time too! Courtney Thorne-Smith is my dream of a wife, being the good mom of the 2000s, and a smart comedienne as well. While Kimberly Williams is so funny (loved, for little instance, her way of dancing over Jim's supposed grave), Larry Joe Campbell is the one who dazzles me with his laughable body language, look at his lightness during some of the acrobatic jests he perfect ; just astounding. However, the show's sense of comedy relayed much on the dirty humor (farts, peeing, masturbation, etc..). Sometime it promoted for ideas I didn't like. Let alone that there were what I consider as shocking moments; I can't forget till now the scene in which "real huge spiders" were used to be moving on Andy's back, that freaked me out, and still does. I don't know how in no case they put this horrific shot, but it's obvious how the whole show is for adults, and in kind of cheap way sometimes. At the first seasons the matters were OK though. But it turned into straight bad within the last days of it (or what I wish they would be !). By the seventh season the time became so un-funnily insipid. I couldn't believe the condition of the scripts. Aside from being a step down for the position of the show (which's average in the first place), it's useless material to watch, so how about entertain ?! I can't imagine anyone gives a green light for episodes like the one where Jim was hit by a bull ?? It looks like a lust for cancellation to me ! So, after enjoying half of the time, sometime more than the half, it forced me to save any time I have to watching something better. Finally, 2001 wasn't a lucky year when it came to sitcoms, (Grounded for Life), (The Bernie Mac Show), and (According to Jim) aren't any close to "favorite" for me. Thank god that 2001 got (Scrubs). So, nothing is wholly bad, though (According..) lately became about to !
