Was Nick really much of a jerk? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know that Alex, Steven, and Elyse dislike him, so he probably was a little, or at least a bad influence on Mallory. But it sometimes seems that he tries to be friendly towards Alex.

I really don't think Nick was a jerk. He was out there, but deep down was a nice guy.

I don't think he's a jerk. Just stupid and socially inept.

Nick was so annoying. I couldn't stand him. I agree that he was really stupid. I don't know what Mallory saw in him.

Mallory is just as stupid as Nick. So is Skippy.

This is exactly how I thought about him. I was never offended by him. I feel that the only connection he had with the Keaton's was that he liked Mallory. I don't think the other family members actually disliked him, only that their lifestyles were so incompatible with his, and his with theirs. No, I don't think he was a jerk at all. If he were a real jerk, I don't even think Mallory would have had anything to do with him--her supposed shallowness and apparent lack of intelligence notwithstanding. Mallory wasn't that dumb, anyway. Didn't she get a higher score than Alex once on an IQ test? I think the Keaton kids, although different from each other and with faults, had basic senses of right and wrong, or so it seemed to me.

Nick was a total sweetheart. The reason a bulk of the Family disapproved was because since he was so "unconventional" he would certainly lead Mal down that road and they wanted more for her. I think they thought Nick was somewhat annoying but exagerrated that point for Mal's sake.

Nick does a lot of surprising things; like encouraging Mal to go to college in Season 4. He's surprisingly bashed on this board for some reason.

No way was Nick a jerk of any kind. He was just different than the Keaton mold. The Keatons seemed like the kind of family that had certain expectations of what their children would become and being paired up with a guy like Nick was the last thing they would have wanted.

I didn't think Nick was that bad at all.

I agree. I think Nick was the sweetest character on the show.

Family Ties Forever! · 11-20-2008, 12:25 AM

I disagree. I don't think he was the sweetest character. I don't know why some people like him so much.
