According to Jim

According to Jim is an American sitcom that ran on ABC from October 3, 2001 to June 2, 2009.

Plot
Jim is a happy-go-lucky suburban father. Together with his wife Cheryl, they have three children, daughters Ruby and Gracie and son Kyle. In the seventh season they become parents of twin boys Gordon and Jonathan. Jim often gets into sticky situations due to his slacker sensibilities, which cause him to search for alternative ways to get things done with less effort.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A suburban father who gets into crazy antics is an interesting concept.
 * 2) Many likable and funny characters, such as:
 * 3) * Jim (depending on your view)
 * 4) * Cheryl
 * 5) * Andy
 * 6) * Dana
 * 7) While most of the episodes follow the same formula, there are still some episodes that do something new.
 * 8) There are many hilarious jokes and running gags, such as:
 * 9) * Cheryl and Dana teaming up with each other to bust Jim.
 * 10) * Jim doing something stupid and trying to hide it from Cheryl.
 * 11) The series finale, "Heaven Opposed to Hell", ended the show on a decent note, despite ending on a cliffhanger.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of the characters can be unlikable in their own ways.
 * 2) * Jim, while a funny character, can be very unlikable as he does some very stupid and selfish things.
 * 3) * The three kids, Ruby, Gracie and Kyle can be unlikable, bratty and annoying at times in the earlier episodes.
 * 4) Most of the episodes are repetitive and formulaic as they involve Jim doing something stupid and trying to hide it from Cheryl, only to get caught in the end.

Trivia

 * Kimberly Williams-Paisley's real-life husband, Brad Paisley guest stars in "The Brother-in-Law".
