Today in metaphors: your TV’s clogged again.
According to Jim (ABC) — Series finale. This show was on for eight years. Eight. Eight years. Two presidential terms. That’s not one, not two, but FIVE more seasons than “Arrested Development” got. Why? Because there’s no god, that’s why.
I’m a Celebrity… Knife Me in the Spleen! (NBC) — It wasn’t easy, but I managed to ignore the “Spencer and Heidi quit after one episode” story until now. Why was it hard? Because Spencer actually said this line on TV: “This cast is devaluing our fame!”
Inside the Obama White House: Brian Williams Reports (NBC) — OOOHHH!!! It’s like “The West Wing” but with a black guy!
Man Vs. Wild (Discovery) — It’s the one with Will Ferrell tonight (watch a clip here). SPOILER ALERT: Bear Grylls and Ferrell both survive.
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Travel) — Hmmmm, I wonder if Zimmern will eat male genitalia tonight? Yahoo: “He tastes everything from juicy cheese worms to bull balls soup.” Business as usual.
Women Behind Bars (ABC) — I don’t know whether this is about female inmates or bartenders, but I like it either way.

wow, i seriously had no idea ‘According to Jim’ was still on the air. not that I would have watched it had I known.
So ABC keeps this for 8 years but barely lets “Better Off Ted” survive? so many idiots watching tv…
Yeah, I assumed that show had been canceled years ago, too.
I guess it was really filling an unaddressed niche in the programming world. There just aren’t enough sitcoms about fat middle-aged white suburban guys and their disproportionately hot wives.
That According To Jim label better not be used ever fucking again unless it’s related to his suicide note. You know, according to Jim, the best way to die is to be sodomized by the Chicago Bears.
It’s “Zimmern” not “Zimmerman”. Retard.
Jim Belushi had no idea ‘According to Jim’ was still on the air.
Is that picture from Chuck Berry’s Camera Shop?
Oh, there’s a god. He just isn’t the one you were expecting.
Cthulu says: Oh no! Now what am I gonna watch. Well, I suppose a few more seasons wouldn’t hurt…
The sad thing about living in Chicago is that when ever there is a national sporting event in Chicago, they interview this bag of dicks(Jim) as the tooken celebrity at the game.
LA has Jack Nicholson
NY has Spike Lee and all famous Puerto Ricans
Chicago has this fuckity fucking fuck.
+100 CrabApple, I fucking hate it when they have him in the booth, like this talentless fuckwad is supposed to be representative of Chicago. BTW, he’s from fucking Wheaton, where you can’t even buy booze. I wish he’d go back there and die in a fire.
The best Bizarre Foods was when he was in broke-ass fly-on-the-white-of-your-eye Ethiopia, and he would try something and be like “I can’t even finish this bite. It’s awful….I mean, it’s unique! You guys are all right!”
It’s “Zimmern” not “Zimmerman”. Retard.
I welcome your scorn. Edited.
Back to Belushi, has there ever been a MORE talentless fuckwit soaring to such heights on the coattails of a sibling’s (or parent) ACTUAL talent?
I would say I’m surprised that “According to Jim” is still on the air, but then again “Two and a Half Men” is like the most popular comedy on the air, so clearly I know nothing about what passes as “popular comedy” these days.
“Back to Belushi, has there ever been a MORE talentless fuckwit soaring to such heights on the coattails of a sibling’s (or parent) ACTUAL talent?”
Paging Ms. Hilton, Ms. Paris Hilton.
Well, Lenny, I was inclined to agree with Bacon, but you bring up an excellent point. I guess that Belushi (Jim, mind you) is actually less of a waste of skin than Paris Hilton. But not by much.
