LOS ANGELES - After mulling the fate of "According to Jim," ABC decided to bring the James Belushi sitcom back next year. The network said Wednesday it has ordered 18 episodes to air in midseason.
ABC presented its 2007-08 schedule in May to advertisers but didn't say whether "According to Jim" would be renewed. The comedy, which also stars Courtney Thorne-Smith, averaged about 6.6 million viewers last season airing in different time slots.
The series, which debuted in 2001, drew about 10 million weekly viewers in its first season.
While "According to Jim" fits the mold of a traditional family comedy, Walt Disney Co.-owned ABC will be trying out a few offbeat sitcom approaches next season - most notably one derived from the Geico "Cavemen" commercials.
