I'm glad they moved away from Nick Miller, loser to Nick Miller does what he wants to be happy. Way to validate my life choices show.

They also made him seem way more competent at his job with his handling of Kevin '97 (hiding his keys and tea water) and by showing how comparably terrible Cece is at bar-tending tricks. In retrospect it definitely seems like it was on the agenda to make Nick seem like less of a loser.

Well, I'm glad I finally started watching this show. Schmidt is the best and so lovably despicable 95% of the time.

Fun episode, I liked the background stories. But, it was a hard episode to watch as a teacher. Jess, don't go to the dark side! No teacher who actually wanted to be a teacher would be an admin.

No teacher who actually wanted to be a teacher would be an admin. 10-to-1 odds that she actually applies for the job right now and the show treats it just like a workplace promotion, rather than something you have to go back to school for 1-2 years to actually be qualified.

They went into teaching to teach, then flipped out over the extreme bureaucratic negligence and became admins to try and rectify it. What I *don't* buy is that Nick passed the CA bar exam despite dropping out of law school and giving up all ambition for law. The bar sounds crazy difficult for people who actually *do* want to become lawyers. It's like those shows/movies set in high schools where slacker characters surprise everyone by getting into Princeton or Yale. No, they didn't. Not because they're not smart, but because they didn't play the admissions game SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS SITCOM, apparently.

The entire premise was that he dropped out of law school right before graduation because of his break-up, which was why he was the sort of the Charlie of the gang.

Well the Bar (per my understanding, anyways) is just a test, albeit a really hard one. It makes sense that, if you drop out right before graduation, you'd know enough to be able to pass, and he can still take a Bar Review course without being in law school (because they're a third party thing). It's less like a high school slacker getting into Harvard and more like a high school slacker getting a really good score on their SAT/ACT test.

California doesn't require you to graduate from an accredited law school to sit for their bar exam. Far bigger fuckups than Nick take it. And depending on how they apply themselves during a review course, some of them pass.

Yeah, Nick being able to pass the CA bar exam means he'd be able to practice in any state easily, so the whole "I'm happy serving working at a bar long term" makes less sense. Him being a broken and damaged human being who fell apart after a serious break-up and is stuck in that state unwilling to change is better then "super genius lawyer who tends bar and is happy (but really not)"

Nick Miller, Attorney at Law, would probably be about as successful as Season 5 Jeff Winger or Lionel Hutz

Even if it is a screw up, the show has had way worse screw ups. Like when they all fell asleep at the beach, and caught the sunrise over the water in the morning. In California.

It's one of the harder bars in the country but reputable schools (such as UCLA, which is a good school but not a top school) have 80%+ pass rates. By no means does passing the Cali bar make you a genius. Or even that smart. Smart people don't go to law school Soothing Vapors fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jan 15, 2014 |
