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

Customer Reviews of Popular - The Complete First Season
FINALLY!!! I think I am gonna cry! How long have my friends and I said that they should release the complete series of Popular on DVD???? Since before that show was even cancelled! I haven't been so happy about a dvd set since they released "My So-Called Life"! It should be the complete series as oppossed to just the first season - but beggars can't be choosers I guess! If you don't know about this show I seriously think you should check it out! There is nothing better than Mary Cherry, Harrison, Sugar Daddy, Lily, Brooke, Sam and the rest of the gang and their laughable (and sometimes cry-able) lives!
I Think I'm gonna cry !!!!
Is this possible ????? what was possible the ultimately IMPOSSIBLE dream is happening in September. After the end of the second season when all hope was lost that this little gem of a show from WB was indeed lost to the 'C' word, I 'knew' that there was no chance in hell that I would ever get any more of my POPULAR fix. But alas I was wrong, and thankfully there is some justice - gone to soon (and quite abruptly) we can all look forward to this DVD release (I'm already awaiting the confirmation and release for the second season).
Not just another teenage-angst TV series nor your conventional Sit-Com Popular blended the Absurd with Sublime, mature commentary on the youth of today (...). Witty , hilarious, and at times, genuinely heartfelt, Brooke, Sam, Josh, Sugar Daddy, Nicole, Carmen, Lilly make up this talented team of actors, who came off more than comfortable in their characters. Special mention to Christopher Gorham for his superb portrayal of Harrison, which was played with just the right amount of subtlety, (and then skyrocketed to new levels in Season 2) And my girl Leslie Grossman as the seriously INSANE Mary Cherry - I swear I have never laughed so hard in life.
Bring it on - I ready for my fix now!!! - and while your at it, why don't you add in SEASON 2 as well - THANKS HON'
A show to remember
ok, i remember a few years ago on the Wb, they were advertising a new show that would come on. I was intriged, so i started watching it and fell in love.
