Courtney Thorne Smith

According to Jim is a television sitcom that debuted on October 3, 2001. The show has since been renewed for an eighth season.

It focuses on a family headed by Jim (played by Jim Belushi) that must deal with one another and life around them in general. Courtney Thorne-Smith plays the part of Cheryl, Jim’s wife and mother of three children, Kyle, Gracie and Ruby. Life would be perfect for the family were it not for Jim’s own proclivity for laziness and complete inability to stay out of trouble - but were he responsible and good, the show wouldn’t be funny. So.

According to Jim has found a dedicated audience that has kept it on the air despite warning signs that the show would be canceled, not to mention an official statement in 2007 that it wouldn’t be back for a seventh season. That apparently didn’t stick, though, and Jim’s back for another round - we’ll see how much longer he can go.
