Jim is a couch-potato dad and husband trying to achieve picket-fence ideals while keeping a firm hold on his manliness. His beautiful wife tolerates his childish antics because of his tireless loyalty to her and their three kids. Jim's penchant for taking the easy route in everything frequently backfires, landing him in comical situations.

Jim encourages Gracie and Ruby to open a lemonade stand but does not anticipate fierce competition from a neighbor kid's stand.

Jim tells Ruby's teacher that his wife is illiterate in order to lighten his daughter's homework load.

When Jim gets financially rewarded for doing charity work, Cheryl tells him that he should return the money.

Jim is haunted by a ghost when he buys Cheryl a diamond necklace that was taken off a dead woman.
