Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

When I first watched this show I was mentally still a teenager but even then I thought it is brilliant. Now I am watching it again as a father and it's just a whole new dimension of brilliance. This show is excellent on so many levels, the subject, the script, the characters, the cast, the acting and most importantly the relevance to most, if not all, of us. I have to admit it is has an element of fantasy though as it is almost impossible to find such amazing staff in any school -let alone public schools-. You might find one or two really brilliant teachers here or there but to be surrounded with such passionate and qualified school staff is a kind of fiction, these days at least. This is one TV show we can learn a lot from while being truly entertained.

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.

This series takes a pro-teacher attitude, showing us as we are: diverse, flawed, passionate about learning, student-centered and student-stymied. Challenges to teachers, administrators and students are true-to-life. A strong ensemble cast demonstrates the joys and frustrations of a career in education. I know each one of these teachers and have worked with them. At times I have been each one: discouraged, uplifted, supported, disappointed, competent, unable to cope, in control, self-doubting, on top of it, ground under it all. I know these kids and their parents. The show where Michael Rappaport's character tries to deal with feelings aroused in students by use of the "N" word was the finest television drama I have ever seen. I miss Boston Public.

Boston public is great....it puts you in the mind of your own high school experience. when watching the show you get involve in the characters as if your there in the flesh....the characters are truly into there roles....the topics they cover are real and they do exist in the real world......i admit at times some scenes may be too graphic but it gets the point across and you understand what is going on. the cast is wonderful and their sense of reality is often to real to me and sometimes hit close to home. boston public gives society a sense of what all our kids, teachers, and staff go through on a regular bases the ups, downs, good times, and bad times. boston public is awesome.
