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.
