Review of Boston Common

A country girl from Virginia (Wylene Pritchett), ventures up to Boston for college, along with the help of her brother Boyd. I felt the show had exceedingly great potential. It started off fresh and strong, but it went in the wrong direction in the 2nd Season, especially with the addition of Roger Reece's character - President Cross. A very bad move, and his character was all wrong for the show. ( He wasn't endearing or funny like President Butterfield). That, and also because the show was moved from Prime Time Thursday to the dreaded Sunday night slot, was the other nail in the coffin. As a Virginian, I appreciated the premise of the young Pritchetts dealing with Northeastern snobbery . It's a shame that they failed to mention that Virginia has an Aristocratic blue blooded nature of it's own, that rivals anything in New England. I miss the show and it's a shame it never got to take off and fly right.
