Am i the only one that thinks Marla is the worst ? I can't stand the way she yells, cuts people off, and just is completley annoying

Yup, you said it, Ms. Torres was horrid. More irritaiting than Ronnie Cooke often was and even more irritating than the overrated Lauren Davis.

Am I the only one who liked Ms Woods????

Ms Torres was a big stereotype to me.

And that student aid that was in about 2 episodes between Marcy and Becky looked like a clown. Bad make-up job.

Come to think of it, none of the characters are truly likeable, with only a few exceptions. I loved Jeri Ryan, but I thought her Ronnie Cooke character was too cheesy and written in a very shallow manner, Ronnie added little to the show, despite Jeri being a decent actress and doing an admirable job with the material at hand. I am still baffled to why Lauren Davis was a such a popular character, she was such a simpering off beam wreak, so darn overrated, Jessalyn Gilsig easily melted away into the background after the casting of Jeri Ryan. Danny Hanson was too darn annoying and we saw too much of him and his dysfunctional family, I wanted him to shut up.

Scott Guber was really great and I liked Marla. Harvey Lipschultz was entertaining as the eccentric bigot and Chi McBride should have won an Emmy Award, at least three times in a row, for his role as Head Principle Steven Harper. And of course Harry Senate should have stayed, even though his character was running out of stories and he was becoming a bit too one note in his final few episodes. However I f--king hated the Hook Lady, Sh-tney Houston, Ms. Torres, that Austin Powers Dwarf, the guy from New Kids on the Block (hey at least he had a Boston accent!), and Tamya Grey (why did they need a singer!?). It was not a coincidence that most of those awful characters were featured in the Third (Turd) Season of BP, the moment Boston Public imploded and never fully recovered.

All in all, Boston Public was a pretty so-so show, even in it's consistently better first couple of seasons. I was not surprised on how quickly the show went down the tubes, but at least it had a few memorable characters and good episodes. I think if the stories could have remained realistic, and if writing quality remained very good, then that the show could have adapted to cast changes and kept on going. The thing is, Boston Public never could adapt to numerous cast changes and that was partially responsible for it's downfall, even though the casting of Jeri Ryan, Jon Abrehams and even Michael Rapaport was not necessarily a bad thing. I mostly blame the terrible writing and stupid plots in later seasons, rather than the cast as an whole for Boston Public taking a huge nose dive and getting cancelled.

I liked Marla as well, since she was played by the first rate character actress, Lorette Devine.

And although Jeri Ryan is very sexy and a great actress, her Ronnie Cooke character was nothing too special, I agree. Ronnie Cooke was too unrealistic, too contrived and like any David E Kelly character introduced to one of his shows after the first season , is just some pretty young thing that sleeps around. But I still prefered Ronnie to the somewhat overrated Lauren Davis (Jessalyn Gilsig is still very good by the way, it's only I find Jeri somehow more charismatic) and Ronnie was certainly much better than the highly overrated Marilyn Sudor (although Sharon Leal is not awful).

No you're not - I liked Marla too - loved it when she called Scott a big giant *** (season 1). She was probably the only one who dared to tell him off.

Faves: Marla, Marilyn, Steven Harper

Least faves: Milton Buttle - no spine; Meredith Peters - creeeeeepy

So-so with the rest. Louisa is fine, but not the most favourite.

Ronnie Cook by far was my least favorite character. This is coming from someone who isn't an acting buff of anything, but I thought her acting was over-the-top and totally unbeliveable. Also this may sound shallow, but she was portrayed as sort of a "hot" teacher in the show, but I thought she was so ugly it was distracting, with those damn bug eyes.....eeehhgg.

The hook lady was also...just....so bad....the idea, the plot, the acting...c'mon.

but with all the stuff I thought was rediculous about the show, I still couldn't stop watching...
