Both dramas are about teachers from unusual backgrounds teaching a group of kids who are "inadequate".
Yankees slowly changing for the better. Both dramas are warm with only happy endings. Not to mention they are both very funny and enjoyable.
it's the same plot, about students troublemakers whose nobody listen. And about one woman from totally different backround who wants to get them on right way of life as their teacher. And Johnny's boys act here too.
The exact same concept for both dramas: a rough inexperienced teacher is taken in by the principal to change the hearts of the students and the school culture while having a past that most wouldn't agree with. That fits both perfectly.
