Say what you will about "According To Jim", but it at least it had jokes. Yes, jokes. Remember those? The old set-up, punch line routine intended to make audiences laugh.

I'm sorry, did you just say that "According To Jim" was a funny show?
If you can find one clip from that show that makes me laugh I'll give you five dollars.

@AgentSmith - Absolutely not, 'According to Jim' is one of the least funny shows ever made. My point there was at least it was TRYING to be funny while current comedy shows seem to not even attempt to make a joke.

I really enjoyed your article.
Yes, the comedy era is gone and
replaced with synthetic junk that
should be left on the cutting room floor. I watched one show
of According to Jim and it really was one miserable mistake. I saw nothing funny at
all. James Belushi is a great
comedic actor and that show
just didn't suit him.
