Breaking News: ABC Resurrects According to Jim!

Courtney Thorne-Smith and Jim Belushi in According to Jim by Bob D'Amico/ABC
Was there a fan campaign under way to bring back According to Jim that no one told me about? 'Cause for some inexplicable reason, the presumed-dead sitcom has just been picked up for an 18-episode seventh season, an ABC rep confirms.

No reason was given for the 11th-hour reprieve, so that leaves us to speculate amongst ourselves. My theory? Someone high up at the Alphabet net took another look at Cavemen.

How do you think ABC will justify saving a show that most people I know were begging them to cancel? Post your best guesses below!

I was eating lunch for God's sake. A little warning please! If Yes, Dear comes back I won't be able to keep it down.

Hey Michael, can you ask them if they can at least revive Sports Night while they're at it? I mean if they're open to reviving Jim you can probably persuade them to do just about anything. Act in a Girls Gone Wild video...seriously anything...

I am glad for two things in my recent life:

1. Paris is free and happy.

2. Mike is the one that got to report this news.

PS. Cavemen is kinda cute, dude! Give it a shot.

Seven seasons? How could that show last so long? They probably would have brought George Lopez's show back if it wasn't for his comments during upfronts.

1. Paris may be free, but she's far from happy.

2. I decided to take one for the team.

PS. Just watched it again. Still sucked.

Good Grief. What is going on with the heads over at ABC? Why this show? Instead of very good sitcoms they had like Sons&Daughters or have Knights of Prosperity(I have KOP still on my DVR and its going to stay on there till TBA) come back in the fall....they decided to bring back this mess. Micheal I think you are right, there must of been a campaign to bring this show back.

And yet another reason I say let new blood into Hollywood - myself at the front of the line!

Courtney Thorne-Smith is pregnant and due in January. Any news if this will be written into the show?

Why the sorry attitudes? If you don't like it, don't watch it!

For fans of the show - and clearly there are some - congratulations!

Hey but on a positive note viewers in New Zealand will get to see the new epis of Men in Trees before us in the US.
