Standard [[Dom Com]] (2001-2009) with [[Bumbling Dad]] ([[James Belushi|"Jim" Belushi]]) and long suffering [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|hot wife]] (Courtney Thorne-Smith). A total of 182 episodes were released in its eight seasons.
----
Line 8:
* [[American Football]]: Jim and Andy live and breathe it. BEARS, NOT PACKERS.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]: When Andy dates a girl Jim dislikes, he compares this with him and Osama bin Laden being together to Cheryl and Andy (on separate occasions) in order to make his point, only for this trope to take place (Andy contemplates turning bin Laden in for reward, whereas Cheryl wonders whether the relationship is serious), much to Jim's frustration.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: On the [[Halloween Episode]], Jim's kids pick out their own costumes: Ruby is a cowgirl, Gracie goes as Statue of Liberty, and Kyle's costume is... Cinderella.
* [[The Attic]]
* [[Back for The Finale]]: Dana.
Line 39:
* [[Long Runners]]
* [[Loony Fan]]: BEARS YAY, PACKERS NAY.
* [[
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: The Devlins, the single most IRRITATING couple you'll ever meet, both in-universe and out, they're perpetually happy and overly friendly people who NEVER seem to get mad at anyone for anything, they laugh at EVERYTHING in the most annoying way and make the WORST jokes imaginable. I know them being annoying was the point, but the writers succeeded in that department a little TOO well.
* [[No Name Given]]: Jim, Cheryl, Andy and the kids are only referred to by their first names; Dana originally had no last name as well, but this changed after she married Dr. Ryan Gibson and adopted his surname.
* [[Obnoxious
** Jim's also got a very healthy and friendly relationship with his mother in-law, to the point that Andy often got jealous about Jim being her favourite "son". When Dana married Ryan, Jim actually became jealous of losing his spot.
* [[Paintball Episode]]
Line 59:
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Between Andy and Dana, and sometimes between both of them and Cheryl.
* [[Sure Let's Go With That]]: what with this show heavily relying on wacky antics, this is pretty much a given. Case in point - the episode with Andy buying... er, "second-hand" jewels for his fiancée, and hen sharing the same plan with Jim. When Cheryl asks Jim if that was in order to make it the "best birthday ever", he pretty much goes with that hypothesis.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Jim and Cheryl.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Jim and Andy.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: The same guest actor to play Jim's son in Imagine Spots of the future and for various other random roles throughout the series, including a waiter and a lonely guy at the bar-was Jim Belushi's real son.
