Emmy-nominated "According to Jim" stars comedian, author and movie star Jim Belushi as a man's man, running his construction company while testing his wife Cheryl's (Courtney Thorne-Smith) patience with his macho antics.

But Jim's charm, sense of humor and fast-thinking always gets him out of trouble.
