John Muir Middle School or Richard M Nixon?

Joanne Yoffee Furer, BHS '67, sent the following email and pics to me today... Thanks Joanne!

IF THE SCHOOL LOOKS FAMILIAR...

Hi Cathy,

If the school looks familiar in the new CBS show Bad Teacher (starts this Thursday, April 24), it’s because John Muir Middle School is the set for the fictitious RM Nixon Middle School! It took a moment, as I was driving by the school last September, to focus on when and why the Muir mascot was changed. Once I noticed the other changes and the camera crews, it all made sense in Burbank, Media Capital of the World. Naturally—no reflection on our own John Muir Junior High teachers, but it will be fun to see if we recognize any of the locations on campus. I attached some pictures I took of the exterior filming last September.

I hope all is well with you.

Joanne

    Too bad the show was cancelled after one month.
