Renew: According to Jim

Sometimes a cancel is not forever, just like the case of Jericho (do you remember the „nuts” story?), or now the case of According to Jim.

ABC ressurected the comedy for the next season, after initially leaving it off the new season’s schedule. The new, seventh season will consist of 18 episodes, but other details are not published. James Belushi, who is the star and the executive producer of this multi-camera comedy, was very happy about the decision and promised us a very great season. Other important character and star of the show is Courtney Thorne-Smith, who played Allison on the well-known series, Melrose Place , was very excited about the next season.

Despite of the last season’s low ratings (little over 6 million viewers per week) the network decided to renew the show, and I think the main reason was the 2007-2008 schedule, because ABC will broadcast three comedies on the new schedule, but all of them are single-camera (for example Carpoolers), and as I mentioned, According to Jim is multi-camera show. So, it’s interesting to know that sometimes a cancel is not sure, but I think in the case of According to Jim, it is a good thing.
