    One of the best shows ever

    I do not understand how people could not like this show. Jim Is funny very funny, not that great of a parental figure but that Is what makes It even more funny. It's a show that good people can watch and get a laugh because they do not get to be like that In real life. I believe It Is for that reason that It keeps getting renewed just like married with children. I also think Still Standing Is folling In It's footsteps.According to jim Is agreat show with a great cast and I hope It lasts for years to come.

    Underrated, fun, and super cute! :)

    I am revisiting old tv series on imdb, and am shocked to see that this good "old" gem has only 6.4 at the time of writing his review :(

    What is wrong with you people? I had expected at least a 7+ rating on this one.

    What I really like about it is the loveable characters, both the leads are just so good at giving and taking off each others energy - what great chemistry!

    I really like how upbeat and fun this show is compared to, say, 2 and a half men, where everyone is just so mean, and ttat also to one another. I really like how the characters on this show mostly mean well instead, and usually have the best of intentions.

    The lead couple is just so cute and adorable, and even some of the less looking friends of theirs are as well. Really a heartwarming show, that manages to make me laugh.

    If you haven't seen it, give it a go :)!

    Good show

    If you like the naive funny shows this is for you. For me the best of the show is when jim and andy makes the scene together.

    Funny Funny Funny, And Oh Yeah, FUNNY!!!

    Okay I'll admit it, the first time I saw the commercial for this show I didn't think it looked all that great, but I decided I'd watch it anyway, and I'm glad I did. Courtney Thorne- Smith plays Jim's wife, shes kinda annoying but she also makes the show really worth watching. Larry Joe Campbell who plays Andy is absolutely hilarious and him and Jim make a great comdedic team. This is the only tv show that I have actually fell off the couch laughing to. I give this show 11 out of 10 stars. This show is staying put and not goin anywhere!!!

    Sweet, cozy and a good watch for the whole family

    This series is not a masterpiece of comedy sitcoms, but it i up in the higher levels of the genre. Belushi plays Belushi and therefore he does it perfectly and the other actors are good as well. The comedy is layered in the relation and interacting of the family members with Jim, a sometimes lazy but still caring father, who wants to be left alone but cannot help to care, even for his brother-in-law, who gets on his nerves so often. It's a classic sitcom with not much moving forward or connecting the eoisodes, but it works week to week. It's good to watch, it's light and it has humour in the small moments of life. Nice.
