According To Jim Winds Down After 8 Years


Have you been watching According To Jim? The show has been on for eight years! But it looks like the sitcom is drawing to a close this year. Twelve episodes of the Jim Belushi led series begin airing March 24th and then - that's it. Of course, I'll be missing Courtney Thorne-Smith (Jim's wife on the series), but knowing her track record, Thorne-Smith will land on her feet. She has had a regular gig since 1992 when she started her 5 year run on Melrose Place as Alison Parker, then her Ally McBeal role as Georgia Thomas for 3 more years and then right into According To Jim in 2001 opposite Belushi as Cheryl.

Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who played Cheryl's sexy sister Dana on the series left the show at the start of the eight season and is expecting her 2nd child (should be this April). Cheryl and Dana's brother Andy (Jim's partner in most of the shows shinanigans) was played by Larry Joseph Campbell.

And what about Jim Belushi? Well, Jim is always busy and is currently finishing up some voicework for Dorothy of Oz a takeoff on the Wizard of Oz. Belushi voices the Cowardly Lion in the animated flick which should be out this year. Next year Belushi appears in The Ghost, a Roman Polanski-helmed film which stars Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor.
