Jim Belushi and Company appeared in the last fresh episode of the long-running ABC sitcom According to Jim back on June 2, but tonight (July 3), just a little over a month later, the comedy returns for regular airings throughout the summer.

Starting at 9pm ET, ABC will feature back-to-back episodes of the show until 10pm. Follow the jump to get the details for tonight’s repeats.

Tomorrow, June 2, brings the final two fresh episodes of ABC’s long-running sitcom According to Jim. I know that news will make many people insanely happy, but the comedy does have its fans who enjoyed the show during its eight-season run.

The swan song begins at 8pm ET with “Diamonds Are a Ghoul’s Best Friend.” Give it up for Jim, who at least has the common sense to buy his wife Cheryl a lovely diamond necklace for her birthday. The only problem, though, is that, ever cheap, he purchases the jewelry from some lowlife Andy knows and ends up being haunted by the ghost of the dead woman from whence the necklace came. Serves him right.

Following at 8:30pm is the actual series finale “Heaven Opposed to Hell,” which features very nice guest stars Dan Aykroyd, Erik Estrada, and Lee Majors, as well as the return of fan favorite and original regular cast member Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

That’s right, comedy fans. Get ready for more According to Jim, one of America’s most favorite sitcoms in the history of television, judging from its (some say “inexplicable”) longevity.

Jim Belushi & Company resume the show’s eighth season at 8pm ET tonight, and the good times and laughter will continue on Tuesdays throughout May for a whole hour at a time!

That’s right, all you haters. ABC is giving According to Jim back-to-back, double screen time. And, if my math isn’t mistaken, there are a total of 12 episodes remaining in the 18-episode season, as well, which should give fans six nights of pleasure. All I can say is at least the series is better than Bob Saget’s new super-stinker, Surviving Suburbia.

Up today are the fresh episodes “The Ego Boost” and “The Yoga Bear.” The first was directed by series star Belushi, and it features George Lopez alumna Constance Marie as Jim’s former flame Victoria.

Considering that the series has been on the air for eight seasons — critics be damned! — ABC’s According to Jim has to have more than a few fans who’ve noticed something odd lately.

That’s right: actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, aka Jim’s wife Cheryl’s sister Dana, a series regular until this season, has gone missing without any satisfying explanation offered. Well, where is she?

Mystery solved by TV Guide, which assures viewers the reason isn’t negative or even mysterious. Apparently, Williams-Paisley just wanted to take a break to hang out with her husband, country music star Brad Paisley, and their 22-month-old son William Huckleberry “Huck” Paisley.

Excellent reason, right? Glad to hear she wasn’t let go or anything.

Don’t forget Jim Belushi et al. fans: The eighth season of ABC’s family sitcom According to Jim kicks off at 9pm EST tomorrow night with a couple of back-to-back episodes.

First up at 9pm is “The Blankie,” during which Jim lays a major guilt trip on his oldest three children when one of the new twin arrivals’ blanket disappears. Jim is pitching in with the infants after Cheryl blows a gasket — or two — doing everything herself.

Longtime viewers know the drill from there. Newbies, that means that after a whole lot of drama, we’ll eventually learn Jim is wrong and everybody else has been victimized by his customary zeal to make others do what he wants.

The hour closes with “The New Best Friend,” which involves lots of reluctant holiday shopping on Jim’s part after Cheryl’s sister and best friend Dana moves away. So, what does Jim do when he realizes he can’t take hanging out with his wife that much? Well, he decides it’s his job to find her a new BFF, STAT. Sounds like a plan.

According to Jim airs Tuesdays on ABC at 9pm EST until the end of the year. The series then moves to Tuesdays at 8pm in 2009.

ABC has set the return date for its long-running family sitcom According to Jim.

The network plans to begin airing fresh episodes on Tuesday, December 2, at 9pm EST.

Season Eight will also kick off with two back-to-back episodes, an hourlong format currently scheduled for the remainder of December.
