Can anyone work out how old Jim Bob was when he graduated? Starting with a birthdate of 1923 or 1924, IMBD states that he graduated in 1944, (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0743860/) which would make him either 21 or 20.
Does this sound right?
On the William Atkins site it states that he was 17in S8/e20 and he graduated in s8/e23.
I apologize if this has already been dealt with previously.

Pretty sure it's just one of the plot holes that became more and more common as the show went on. In the episode where Jim Bob finds out he had a twin brother, he was born in 1923. In season 3 (I think?), he says he was born in 1924. He graduated in 1944 according to the Valedictorian episode. I think it's just a mistake with continuity.

If he was born either one of those years ('23 or '24) that made him older than Cindy. It was established that she was born in '25 in a later episode.

So, was in his 20s when he graduated? maybe he was kept back a few years for failing to hand in his favorite person essay |
