Boston Public
Boston Public was an American television series created by David E. Kelley and broadcast on FOX from October 23, 2000 through to January 30, 2004. It centered on Winslow High School, a fictional public high school located in Boston, Massachusetts. The show was named for the real public school district in which it takes place. It featured a large ensemble cast and focused on the work and private lives of the various teachers, students, and administrators at the school and their various personalities.
Its slogan, as it was depicted on the show's website at the time, was "Every day is a fight. For respect. For dignity. For sanity."
Reruns of the show air on TV One, in the United States, weekdays at 4:00 p.m.(eastern time) and the Show Case Diva channel, in Canada, Wednesdays at 5:00pm (Eastern Time).
At the beginning, Boston Public preceded Ally McBeal on Monday nights and received initial popularity and critical acclaim for its drama and ethnically diverse cast. However, the series had a hard time finding a direction or an audience. It was generally felt that the important 18-to-24 year-old demographic would not be interested in a drama about high school teachers, so attempts were made to focus more on the lives of high school students; however, this only caused critics to accuse it of copycatting. These problems, along with bizarre storylines and casting changes, caused the show's ratings to decline. The final nail in the coffin was when Fox moved Boston Public to the Friday night death slot for its fourth (and ultimately, final) season. The number of viewers plummeted accordingly, and Boston Public was cancelled after a truncated fourth season.
The last episode to air in its normal timeslot was on January 30, 2004. The final two episodes aired over a year later in syndication on TV One. Neither episode wrapped up any of the character arcs as the series was cancelled in the middle of its fourth season.
