Your Average Home Sitcom

Yet another "family" sitcom. I usually categorize sitcoms in four different groups: funny, family, girly and redundant. Most sitcoms being in the last category, redundant...

According to Jim is one of the funniest sitcoms around and is a really great way to spend half an hour in front of the TV. What makes it so great is James Belushi "Jim" and Larry Joe Campbell "Andy". These two are the engine of the whole show. Cheryl is the typical boring trying to be funny sitcom actress, I honestly don't know why most women in sitcoms are not at all funny, sexy maybe, but funny? very rare. Dana is a little funnier than her. The two little girls are absolutely gorgeous and to me are the cutest little things on TV.

A great show really.
