DVD Reviews of Popular - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Great Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this show. I remembered it from years ago and have been waiting for it to drop in price. Which it has not for years. Anyway I love this show it is very teenage but I still love the blast from the past!DVD Review: Popular
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
DVD Review: I miss this show. Seriously!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!DVD Review: Dude

Dude I loved this show... why did it have to go off the air?? This DVD is totally worth buying!!DVD Review: Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Description of Popular - The Complete First Season
Inside the walls of Kennedy High, there's a war being waged for the most elusive prize of all...popularity. Get into the heart of the battle as Nicole, Josh, Sam, Mary Cherry and all the characters you love (and love to hate) fight to claim their rightful place on the popularity scale!The world of high school gets a treatment both glamorous and terrifying in the TV series Popular. The show spins around two characters: Blonde cheerleader Brooke (Leslie Bibb) and brunette alterna-girl Sam (Carly Pope), each the center of their social groups. To their mutual horror, Brooke's divorced father and Sam's widowed mother fall in love, turning these cultural opposites into stepsisters. The large supporting cast includes overweight but determined Carmen (Sara Rue), conniving Lady-Macbeth-with-pom-poms Nicole (Tammy Lynn Michaels), earnest jock Josh (Bryce Johnson), all-encompassing activist Lily (Tamara Mello), frustrated sensitive boy Harrison (Christopher Gorham), and many others. The key to Popular is how it merges melodramatic soap-opera stories with wrenchingly blunt and honest portrayals of the cruelties of adolescence.
While some viewers may find it galling to listen to a gorgeous young actress who's been on magazine covers moan about how she can't be as perfect as a model, the series tackles everything from anorexia to peer manipulation to teen sex with directness and an eye for moral and emotional complexity. An episode about a Sadie Hawkins dance becomes a satirical farce about body image (female and male); a slumber party turns into brutal humiliation; a teacher decides to get a sex-change operation, prompting anxiety throughout the school. Almost every character gets a moment of heartfelt grandstanding, yet the actors pull them off with commitment and guts (Rue routinely turns speeches that could have been cheesy schlock into genuine pathos). Sure, some fantasy sequences are silly, but the show skillfully creates characters and situations that defy easy definition. Repeatedly, Brooke and Sam each set out with good intentions, only to end up hurting their friends and fueling their antagonistic relationship. Popular cunningly subverts expectations; it's a smart show for both teenagers and adults. --Bret Fetzer
