Cable deal done! Jim comes to TBS in Fall 2009!

TBS has nabbed the cable rerun rights to ABC's comedy series "According to Jim," which stars James Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith as a married couple with three kids.

A spokesperson for TBS confirmed Friday that the cable network has acquired "Jim" from Disney-owned distributor Buena Vista Television and will begin airing the sitcom in 2009 as part of its afternoon lineup.

Sources said TBS will shell out roughly $250,000-$300,000 per episode. TBS and Buena Vista declined comment on the deal late Friday.

"Jim" debuted on ABC in 2001 and has been a solid performer for the network.
