Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This drama (acutally it was comedy mixed with drama) was one of a group David E Kelly productions that have bee on. It lasted 4 seasons, over 80 episodes on FOX. I actually watched more than a dozen of them while they were on because they were better than the average show being made at that time.What really caught my attention was Chi McBrides great acting. Since this show, he has done some other stuff, most notably a season with Dr. House. This role of his as the principle of the school in Boston was made for him.The scripts were good but not realistic which is typical of Kelly produced shows. They were dramatic often, & would throw in humor on occasion. Shows often hit cutting edge topics like murder, rape while sometimes dealing with cutting edge topics such as blacks racism problems, and drugs. A lot of serious issues get thrown out for your reaction in new ways.This was a solid show.

Boston public, from its already highly reputed developers, does not fail to deliver. I can imagine that a non-American audience would find events presented in this series as quite shocking. The writing and acting is top notch. Theonly problem with the series is that it portrays the American schooling system has highly out of control and indisciplined, even though the staff themselves are shown to be highly professional and capable people working under immense pressure. That seems to be a move to make it a little more commercial. For the same purpose, we see too much sex and everyone is sleeping with each other in some controversial way or the other. The subject of sex is used extremely often, although it may not be such a bad thing. Towards the later seasons, the show seems to have run out of ideas and started deriving plots from current political situations such as the war on terrorism. Despite such unoriginality, this show is one of the best TV shows ever made.

Hi!BP is a great show and has a tone of seriousness that is bold and open. The old male teacher (Finkelhof!?) is a crazy but heart warming guy. men heart goes to the principle, though captured in a giant body he is warm and gentle within as a man of the cloth, well done! The kids do their part with fire and seriousnes that is chocking in a very good way. Now,the signature/soundtrack music in BP is also outstanding! Does anyone know the composers name of at least the signature? That would be very helpful, I hope someone can help me.Kind regards and thank you for your help MikMan

I thought this show was supposed to bring new fresh ideas into the world of television shows. Instead we get served a rehash of things seen in the past. Load of old ideas redone and well-known television cliches. I watched it for a short while , then just dropped the whole thing like a hot potato. I resumed watching, only for a few episodes, after Jeri Ryan joined up, I am a bit of a Ryan fan. :)I see its running in its last season now, it's probably for the best.
