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..

Very funny show
Boston Common was so very funny! Anthony Clark was perfectly cast as Boyd...the man who left Virginia to win the heart of Joy. I really thought the ratings were good for the show, so I am not sure why it was cancelled. If you get a chance to see it on the USA network, do it! It will leave you laughing all day.
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!
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.

Why do networks DO this!?!?!
Why do networks constantly formulate these amazingly funny shows and then take them away? With Boston Common, they it moved around all the time, often to the most Godawful time slots and didn't advertise what they were doing. I was so happy to find the reruns on USA. Of course, these were cancelled eventually, too. I don't see why they would set a show up to fail. That's what they did with Boston Common. No other show has made me laugh like this one did -- if one ever does again, you can be sure it will be cancelled as well. What's strange about Boston Common is that it's by the same people who put out Will and Grace. That show is a gigantic hit. The network treats it like gold. There are even some of the same jokes and I even noticed a sweater that seemed to make it's way from Boston Common to the wardrobe of Will and Grace. Who can explain it?
