I watched Boston Public (I almost typed Boston Common, the sitcom starring Anthony Clark that ran a few years earlier) at the same time I watched The Practice, and certainly there was a grittiness to the public education system, and all credit to this series running for six years, with so much drama (some realistic no doubt) about the Boston public education system and its foibles, ambitions, drama, relationships, you name it init.
Anyway, I watched episodes mainly from the first two seasons, and I remember Anthony Heald from 8mm where he played Daniel Longdale, so quite a contrast in roles init.
