"ACCORDING TO JIM" PICKED UP FOR A SEVENTH SEASON ON THE ABC TELEVISION NETWORK

"According to Jim" has been picked for a seventh season on the ABC Television network, it was announced today.

"When Brillstein-Grey approached me with the idea of doing a family show, I didn't realize the family would extend so wide," said Jim Belushi. "For six years, it's been a joy being part of the ABC and Touchstone families and part of each and every family who have been loyal viewers of our show every week. This season will top all the rest. I'm thrilled to continue this seventh season with these extended families."

Jim (Jim Belushi) has it all -- a gorgeous wife, Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith), whom he challenges with his stubborn manliness but contagious charm; three precocious kids, Ruby (Taylor Atelian), Gracie (Billi Bruno) and Kyle (Conner Rayburn) and his brother-in-law, Andy (Larry Joe Campbell), his best friend, business partner and "partner in crime." Completing the tight-knit family is Jim's sister-in-law, Dana (Kimberly Williams-Paisley), who is now happily married with a rambunctious toddler to add to the family mix.

"According to Jim" stars Jim Belushi as Jim, Courtney Thorne-Smith as Cheryl, Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Dana, Larry Joe Campbell as Andy, Taylor Atelian as Ruby, Billi Bruno as Gracie and Conner Rayburn as Kyle.

Executive producers are Warren Bell, Suzanne Bukinik, Marc Gurvitz, Jim Belushi, Judd Pillot, John Peaslee, John D. Beck and Ron Hart. "According to Jim" is from ABC Studios in association with Brad Grey Television.
