I was waiting for him to explain that he earned a joint degree and that he never really liked the sound of "Boalt," but the moment never came. I am distressed at the poor quality of fact checking on this show. It's worse than the time that Carol on ER woke up on a Thursday in January and pondered whether or not she ought to take the MCAT that day. Where is the realism, people?

Another example of poor research by "The O.C." staff... In one of the early episodes, Jimmy is on the couch watching TV and his wife comes in and asks what he is watching. He says he's watching the 1986 Finals on ESPN Classic between the Lakers and Pistons. Any fan at a sports bar will tell you that the '86 NBA Finals were between the Rockets and Celtics. The Lakers and Pistons didn't meet in the Finals until 1988 (Lakers won), and again in '89, the series which launched the Bad Boys dynasty.
Why would you bother to make such a reference if you don't check your facts? Fox must have like a million writers on staff, and they obviously aren't busy working on plotlines for this show.
