Product Description

In this earthy family comedy, Jim (Jim Belushi) is the macho Everyman who challenges his gorgeous and feisty wife, Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith), with his stubborn manliness but contagious charm. Tagging along with this duo of happily married opposites are their three precocious kids. A success at his construction business and the family breadwinner at home, Jim feeds his other passion - blues music - playing with his six-man garage band. He keeps Cheryl in turmoil with his boyish bravado and ever willful antics, but their underlying love guarantees that they are in this marriage for keeps.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's good to follow Jim, December 21, 2008

By	Guadalupe Montes De Oca "That's how I see it ... (Guadalajara, Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had been waiting a long time to get the first season of According to Jim. I can't understand why there are other shows that are not so good but come out sooner. This one (and Just Shoot Me!) had taken a long time.

If you saw the show you know what it is all about. The Special Features are good, specially the part where Jim tells us the inside about the show, the characters and even the set up and mementos by the fridge that remind everyone one the set about their families and loved ones.

My only regret is that I finished watching the whole season already and there isn't even a date for the second season or a way to subscribe -like they always have here at Amazon- to be notified when it will come out.

Don't miss it. It's funny! Jim and his brother in law make a great pair. I like the fact that unlike other family sitcoms, Jim does wrong most of the time but you don't actually blame him but empathize with him because he is a regular guy not pretending to be "perfect... husband or father" but instead, the everyday family man that makes mistakes and has fun ... messing things up. I LOVE IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious....., May 7, 2009

By	Clemens Marie-rose "raynep" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So, since I'm from Luxembourg and have the opportunity to see this on German TV, it is the synchrone version. They have german voices. Well, I know Jim's real voice from movies, which I see in original version in Luxembourgish cinemas. Well, in Luxembourg we kind of are polyglotte.....
So to see this TV series in original, I bought it through AMAZON in the U.S.
I adored this. It's even more refreshing than in German. Apart of Andy (arggggghhhhhhhhh) always showing his fat belly to everyone, my favourite caracters are Jim and Dana and the two girls. So keep going James Belushi! And please, the next seasons quicker on DVD!!!!!!!!
And last but not least: all fans of Belushi, buy his audio book: Real men don't apologize. THIS is something to laugh out loud an sometimes also get a little moist eyes too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good ol Days of ATJ, May 15, 2009

By	John Fair (Aurora, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a ATJ fan who misses the good old days(before Billi Bruno disappeared),this DVD is for you.Watch as she steals every scene she's in & puts Larry Joe Campbell(Andy)in his place in a hilarious outtake,oh the episodes are good to,presented for the first time in widescreen,nearly HD quality,I sure hope there will be more ATJ DVDs
