Clever dialogue is the best feature about it.
Very funny and clever sit-com that only lasted for one year.
Anthony Clark was funny and convinced as the lead character. He was very charismatic. Hedy Burress is incredibly charming: her beautiness, sexiness, and talent are impossible to ignore. I'm a big fan of hers, because of this show. Watch her in "Cabin by the lake" (2000), where she delivers a good performance.
The character of Leonard was an interesting addition to the show, he was very funny. His pessimistic oriented dialogues and dry humor was hilarious. This guy deserved a better comedic career.
The rest of the cast also delivered good performances.
Nice cast.
The writing was very clever and that is what made the show a delight to watch. I had the chance to watch this funny show on its re-runs on Sony Entertainment T.v. Latin American way back in 2000, but the network quickly stopped showing it.
A future DVD release looks impossible but hey? We can dream about it.
Watch it if you have the chance. You won't regret, even though some dialogues may seem naive.
Also, I was kind of impressed with some sex-oriented clever jokes, and some dialogues that might get the show cancelled like: "Wyleen, you look like an Iranian pros....".
Anyway, give it a chance.

Excellent comedy! Why was it cancelled?
Boston Common ranks right up there with the best sitcoms I've seen. Anthony Clark does a superb job as Boyd, and the chemistry between him and Hedy Burress playing his sister Wyleen is awesome. The rest of the cast (with the possible exception of Vincent Ventresca as Jack Reed, who comes across as pretentious) rounds out everything very well. Highly recommended!
Hilarious comedy!
Boston Common was a hilarious show. How could NBC be dumb enough to cancel it? The answer they give us is bad ratings, but they wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't moved to such bad time slots. Anthony Clark is the best on the series, being the funniest of all, with Hedy Burress close behind. Thankfully, USA reruns this short lived show. Thank you USA network!
What happened??!!
I still can't believe why would they take this good show off-air. This is one of the funniest shows on TV. The wild, wacky, and funny cast of Randolph Harrington delivers such great performances and gave "humor" a new meaning. Boyd, Wyleen, Tasha, Joy and the rest of the cast are really funny, and are such talented comedians. I would still laugh every time I watch this show.
Thanks to USA network, I'd still reward myself a few laughs..

again, why, why, why???
this was another great show (i made a comment on 'the secret lives of men' another incredibly great show) i thought is was hilarious and laughed every time..i dunno why they cancelled it but they shouldn't have!
