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. Took place in Winslow High, a public high school in Boston, hence the name. Basically ''Degrassi'' {{smallcaps| [[Recycled in Space|In America!]]}}, except the teachers are the troubled ones. The show lasted from October, 2000 to January, 2004
