I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good concept, poorly executed.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I used to watch reruns of this-- simply because nothing was on at night.It isn't the worst show I've ever seen, but it surely isn't the best.If you have seen one episode, you have nearly seen them all. There are a few exceptions to this, but very few.Jim is OK, but I think they felt sorry for him after his famous brother died, and gave him a bunch of work.He is OK for a C-string actor in B-films, or whatever, but this show is about as bland and mediocre as it gets.Every episode= Jim is a big, hungry, silly man that does something idiotic. His wife is hot and he just doesn't get what she wants from him, and vice versa. Her brother hangs around him all the time and is fat and silly. He inexplicably gets decent looking dates all the time-- because he is an architect? because he writes the episodes? because he is actually dreaming? I don't know. The hot brunette sister is the bitchy nemesis to Jim and his buddy and stuck on herself. She reminds me of the Fred Sanford/Aunt Esther dynamic, or a million others that were more original and recognizable. Jim plays some blues music and does stupid stuff, and then reconciles with the family at the end.There are some funny moments, but this is mostly filler material that you just smirk at while eating leftovers at night, wishing you had something better going on in your own life. Luckily, I do now, and so I never watched this show since. LOL.

Now don't get me wrong, John Belushi wasn't funny either but at least he earned his fame.But we live in a world where people will accept a sibling of a celebrity and invite them into their homes for no reason other than who they are related to.This terrible show used every bad sitcom cliché they could find.Of course they use the "Idiot and Wife"(he's kinda fat and she's kinda hot) cliché that CBS perfected in the 90s.They also rehashed the old trick of never being funny, something I will never understand.Every story is about the husband being an idiot and the wife being insufferable.Since that wasn't unoriginal enough they decided to have the wife's sister always be there.Never saw that before.The most interesting thing about the show is that they have some gay guy hanging around all the time and he always pretends to like women.Like some weird 70s sitcom where we have to act like gay people don't exist.The only original thing about this mess is that they chose to have extremely creepy children.A tactic that was quickly imitated on that horrible show with the janitor from Scrubs(another horrible show).Unless you like to be bored and angry, never watch this show.

Many sitcoms contains this particular stereotypical man; A man who is a fat, sexist, football- loving, mean-spirited idiot. Well, I don't really have anything against that. Just look at Peter Griffin in Family Guy; he may have all those things, but he succeeds to do it funnily and on occasions me may say some smart things or even care about his family a lot. And be nice to his wife, which seems to be the biggest problem in sitcoms. It was after all revealed in an episode that the reason he says so mean things to Lois sometimes is because he has bad self-confidence, and that's rather sweet. What Family Guy has to do with this show? Well, it's a sitcom that's much better, funnier and SMARTER! This show is none of that. Loose, uncreative plot with really boring characters who I've kinda already forgotten about! The show's jokes are bad enough, but the worst thing is that you can't feel for the characters, there's no heart in them, and you especially hate James Belushi's role. You just feel sorry for the writers that they have gotten to work on this s h i t.

You need to watch this show once to have seen them all, the formula is exactly the same in each episode. Jim does something his way he means well but he upsets his wife, at the end she finds out that what he did was really for her, she caresses his cheek and gives a gummy smile while he looks on bashfully. In fact the story lines are so lame and formulaic that I'll take a stab at one now.Episode 'Valentines Pay'Jims wife notices that all of Jims weekly pay has disappeared, he then explains to her he lost it at the casino. She screams and leaves the house lamenting how awful he is. Then on Valentines day he turns up in a limo with tickets to a Ball (hence explaining the missing wages). She realizes 'Her' mistake and the usual 'Oh Jim, you're so lovely'. ..The endAnother very obvious item is the fact that Jims character is based on Homer Simpson who as a cartoon character can get away with being belligerent and ignorant, when this is attempted with Human beings it does not work and Jim just comes over as an arrogant self centered jerk. IMO the only reason that this is successful is simply because we're so many now in terms of Human beings with TVs, these days you could make a show about a man who insulates walls and you'd get an audience.'Two and a half men' on the other hand is fantastic and hilarious.
