A comedy-drama series created by David E. Kelley and airing on FOX, Boston Public basically told the story of the Teen Drama from the point of view of the teachers. It took place in Winslow High, a public high school in Boston, hence the show's title. Boston Public was basically Degrassi in America!, except the teachers are the troubled ones.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The show aired from October 2000 to January 2004 for a total of 81 episodes in four seasons. | |

| Boston Public / int_762b9223 | comment |
Harvey has it Played for Laughs as part of his character; he's completely clueless about what's going around him and how to react. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Boston Public / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Both played straight and inverted. The faculty does generally make attempts to help; they're just not always effective or successful. But parents? Forget it. They are always portrayed as either useless, pretentious, or overprotective of their kids; setting hypocritical double standards for children and teachers; and going for Frivolous Lawsuits about twice per episode. In most cases, this undermined every effort made by the teachers to help the kids, successful or not. Harvey has it Played for Laughs as part of his character; he's completely clueless about what's going around him and how to react. | |
