| | Boomtown |
 | | For one year (and six episodes following, before its untimely cancellation) it was the best drama on television, and now, thankfully, NBC has finally done the shows rabid, wounded fans right by presenting the brilliant first 16 episodes on a five-disk DVD package, complete with six commentary tracks and two documentaries. |
 | | In the pilot, for example, a young girl is murdered during a botched drive-by shooting, and one of the boys inadvertently involved, an innocent black teenager from a good family, accidentally dies during the investigation. |
 | | “Boomtown”, which ran for 16 weeks on Sundays at 10 on NBC, before fatally moving to Friday, created a lot of buzz when it was initially screened for critics at an annual TV journalism convention. |
