This show is dead, Jim
'According to Jim' Airs: 7:30 p.m., ABC (Channel 9) Stars: Jim Belushi, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Kimberly Williams, Larry Joe Campbell, three cute kids Most closely resembles: "My Wife and Kids" Aaron's advice: Forget it. In an obvious attempt to extend the audience of its existing hit "My Wife and Kids" to a full hour, ABC cooked up this lukewarm family comedy. The 47-year-old Belushi, who only looks like he's 46 on TV, is paired with 32-year-old ex-"Ally McBeal" beauty Courtney Thorne-Smith, who looks 22 on TV. Older man, younger woman, telegenic kids: It's as if your favorite local news team made whoopee. "According to Jim" feels like the sixth variation of a detergent brand that you know is only there to take up shelf space.
