The whole "Mike as a school teacher" storyline...

I'm I the only one who found this development in the later seasons to be extremely disingenuous and unrealistic given Mike's (pre-religious "awakening" Kirk Cameron) prior history? I get that Mike had to mature somewhat and couldn't forever play mischievous slacker (especially w/o Boner around anymore to be his "partner in crime" so to speak), but there's no chance in hell that Mike would become a teacher (or would want to become something that he presumably hates the most) so quickly.

It just felt like a big insult to the audience's intelligence and just a way to stroke Kirk Cameron's ego. It was as if Kirk was trying way, way too hard to come across as a good role model (at the expense of anything entertaining) to young people at the sheer expense of made logical and plausible sense. Perfect/flawless people on TV are boring!
