‘According to Jim’ to Be Renewed?
Posted on February 28, 2008
Yesterday, TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello posted that ABC is set to renew comedy According to Jim. “I’m told that the decision has already been made,” said his “Ask Ausiello” feature.
It is believed that this news came as a result of the WGA strike, which led to a heavily shortened pilot season. The show, which returned in January for its seventh season, has suffered from below-par ratings. Their most recent episode on Tuesday only attracted 4.63 million viewers. Add that to the fact that it scored a 1.4/3 in the adults 18-49 demo — the same figure as the CW’s One Tree Hill — and you have to wonder why ABC is continuing to put their faith in the comedy.
The Bronze’s One Tree Hill recap of Tuesday’s episode will be up later tonight.
