Popular - The Complete First Season (1999)

Popular

I loved this show when it was on tv back in 1999/2000.

It's been fun watching the episodes. I love Mary Cherry, such a funny character!

The one thing I don't like is just to do with the packaging. The plastic case that holds the dvd's doesn't hold the dvd's in properly, so when you open it, it looks like there is a dvd missing, but in fact one has fallen into the other slot.

Overall I enjoyed and still enjoy this show and it's social commentary. Only wish it ran for more than 2 seasons. February 16, 2008

I miss this show. Seriously!

Popular - The Complete First Season has to be the second best show that the WB produced (Felicity being the first!) Created by Ryan Murphy who later went on to create Nip/Tuck. Popular sets around a high school and centers around a popular girl, Brooke. She is a cheerleader but depises it. She meets Sam, who will become her mortal enemy, the twist is she has no other choice but to get along with her, Brooke's father is now dating Sam's mother. The supporting cast is amazing especially Mary Cherry, she's a freakin' hoot. I highly recommend this comedy/drama. Too bad this cool show only lasted two seasons but hey some of the best shows never got the recognition they deserved. Don't hesitant buy this dvd today! October 13, 2007

Dude

Dude I loved this show... why did it have to go off the air?? This DVD is totally worth buying!! July 7, 2007

Funny

I watched practically the whole first season though unfortunately missed the last two episodes (season finale) which I was disappointed about. Popular is entertaining and funny at the same time, dealing with issues that kids deal with in the west in an entertaining way. I liked the fact that it isn't so "formal", it has a nice creative style to it. July 23, 2006

The Last of the "Dramedy", and Worth It!!!

Popular was a WB show that didn't manage to find its audience, because of its witty satirical jokes about high school combined with the serious drama of actually being in high school. However, this series was not given the credit it deserved, and is a wonderful show that manages to make light of the four years most people want to forget while covering some pretty serious issues. Leslie Bibb and Carly Pope are great, and the supporting cast are fairly good actors as well. Plus, a great theme song! February 20, 2006
