8:30-9PM
ACCORDING TO JIM (ABC, TV-PG-DL) What are the odds? The season's worst-titled new show (except maybe Inside Schwartz) is also the season's worst new show (except maybe Emeril). Jim Belushi irks as a Chicago contractor who's a real guy's guy. How do we know? He loves to drink beer. He scratches his ass. And he falls asleep when his wife, Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith, above with Belushi), wants to talk after sex. In this week's excruciating episode, Cheryl asks Jim to remain celibate until a trip to the Bahamas, eliciting this groaner: "You want me to spend a lot of money and have no sex for three weeks? It's like I just had surgery!" So is sitting through this show. According to Bruce: DBruce Fretts


I think Inside Schwartz is a pretty clever title. I wonder if Mr. Fretts realizes it's a send-up of Inside Sports? Too bad the actual show is not so clever. I don't watch Emeril so I can't compare the two. But of all the new shows I've watched, According to Jim is the hands-down worst. According to me: F. Sorry, Courtney.
