It seems that after eight seasons, ABC is finally getting around to euthanizing “According to Jim.” The network is giving it a back-to-back primetime slot with the apparent intent to just bleed the episodes out as fast as possible.
The network has slotted back-to-back episodes of the Jim Belushi sitcom for Tuesday nights from 8 to 9 p.m. starting March 24, according to a listings grid posted on ABC’s media Web site…
ABC still has a dozen episodes of “Jim’s” already filmed eighth season on the shelf. The network has never officially announced its cancellation, but industry insiders believe the series has finally reached the end of the line.
Good. Every sitcom that has a fat goofy guy married to a sexy wife needs to be cancelled yesterday. I demand realism, Hollywood! Give me more sitcoms starring pear-shaped moms with bad haircuts! If I can’t land Leah Remini, you can bet your sweet ass that Kevin James can’t, either.

I truly and honestly didn’t know this show was still on until I read this post.
In the final episode, Jim is found dead in his hotel room, hugging a picture of his brother and a crack pipe.
I hope.

Good thing ABC is pretty much irrelevant for me except for Wednesdays.
@wehavehair:
outstanding.
I saw Jim Belushi’s kid in a play one time here in LA. There were only about six people in the audience, which was unfortunate because it was actually a pretty entertaining show.
Leah Remini is a Theta 6, so if you’ve reached that stage, you have a shot.
Un-fucking-believable. Shit like this smells up the fuckin airwaves for 8 fuckin years and good fucking shows like Life on Mars get canned after 1 season. Fuck ABC. Fuck them in their stupid asses!
Uff, never underestimate the appeal of Paul Blart: Mall Cop
I’m with La Schmoove. Who new this was still on? I’m not even sure Belushi knew.
Matt, you forgot the word “Watching” at the front end of the headline.
Jim Belushi is a Douchebag, and I hate that he thinks he is Mr. Chicago. Here is a good article I found the other day about how much he sucks:

Great article. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
