Community on the title of Doctor

By Kevin

Community is currently my second favorite show on television and I find the writing sharp and witty. Reminds me of my study groups while in Law school actually, which is probably why I like it so much.

Anyway, in the law profession there’s a continuing conversation about titles and what you can call yourself, especially in light of the fact that you have earned a Juris Doctor or Doctor of Law degree… are you Dr. Kevin or Kevin, Esq. or Kevin, J.D.?

I think Abed, who is one of the best sitcom characters ever, yeah better than Costanza, settles this issue:

• Jeff: “and Fancy jobs don’t impress people…”
  Abed: “anyone can be a lawyer, you can even represent themself, you can’t do surgery on yourself, it’s illegal and then you get arrested and then you get a free lawyer…”
