I have to say that POPULAR was one of the most greatest teen shows that appeared on television, it was a really good show that discussed teen issues even though that it's sourt of unrealistic, but hey i just watch it for fun. For the first season, I give it five by five as it was very entertaining and a good solution for somebody specially the teens, to run away from problems and torture. The second season was good but more serious that even the ending was twisted and gave me some sourt of depression but it doesn't mean that it's not good. I really wanted another season but I just can't understand why would they give up on this show; if the WB fear from the ratings that maybe lower then the first but even though not bad, then hell with the WB just find another network because a show like POPULAR isn't the kind to be rejected quickly.I would like to add that I hate the now CW 'WB'; why in the world did they give up on this show they didn't even give it a chance. Before Buffy, the WB begged for a least successful show and just after that they thought that they were big deals. The WB didn't not only disappointed POPULAR but they disappointed BUFFY as will which was the main reason for their success. POPULAR should've been sold to a company like ABC, cause ABC gives decent chances for a show's success; like 'Ugly Betty', this show was only successful for it's first season and went downhill fastly after that but look at ABC, they're still giving chances for this show.

Considering that there's a fair number of reviews already, I doubt anyone will read this. I wanted to write a short one for popular anyway and I seriously encourage everyone to watch this show. It somehow managed to combine humor and drama perfectly into one episode. Some of the episodes were honestly laugh out loud, but could also make me cry at the same time. Mary Cherry was hysterical! Popular seems like its filled with stereotypes with the typical cheerleader but really the characters are really well developed that it becomes a lot deeper than that. I loved all the characters and believed in all of them. The only negative thing I have to say is that the last few episodes got a little weird in terms of character motivations but other than that it is a fantastic show.

This show is so good, it has everything and it is freaking hilarious. It has teen angst, like humor and like everything a show needs, i love it. Brooke rules and Nicole is funny. Everyone is excellent. I love it, I'm addicted and now loads of my friends r addicted too. It is such a good show. I like how the show is stereotypical also, like it's how high school really is. Sugar Daddy and Merry Cherry are way funny in it. Lily is cool, I'm a vegetarian also. Sam does annoy me, because she always makes assumptions, which aren't always right. I used to watch this show ages ago when I was like twelve and now I'm eighteen and watching it again, because it's really good and I adore it.

Popular is most certainly worth your time and money. This show has intelligent story lines, great characters, and an atmosphere of high quality comedy. The show is well cast and addicting to say the least. Popular is not your pre-teen comedy that belongs on Disney Channel, but rather is geared for older teen/young adult and older. The theme is mature(sex/drugs), while still being light hearted and funny. What I love most about Popular, besides the addicting characters, is that each episode has a theme or purpose, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, cheating, STD's, body image, sexual harassment, meaning of Christmas, and of course the underlying theme is the meaning of Popularity and what people will do to be POPULAR!Although Popular only aired for two seasons, the reason the season two finale was a cliffhanger, was because there was originally going to be a third season, but the show was suddenly canceled, with no time to re-write the ending into a more satisfactory explanation. I was disappointed as well. I did some research and here is a list of what would have happened in season three....Brooke breaks every bone in her face after being in the accident. Yet when the bandages are revealed, she's exactly the same - except brunette. (Brooke was hit be Nicole)Harrison Chooses Brooke-then dates other eligible ladiesNicole says she was driven to alcohol (and driving drunk) after being sexually abused by Mike McQueen. Josh's addiction to cockfighting/gambling ruins his relationship with Lily, so he moves in with Harrison. Mary Cherry is accidentally sent to the pound and put up for adoption. She is claimed just before being put to sleep by Cherry Cherry after her twin B. Ho is gunned down in her "hood". Cherry Cherry starts teaching at Kennedy High--a little course called Madonna 101. Sugar starts a club for people that are discouraged about their weight to help them out. Brooke and Nicole become united once again to stop exchange student Unique Jones from ruling the school. Carmen becomes a nurse after the tragedy that happened to Brooke and becomes Sugar's girlfriend. Kennedy High is then sold and converted into a nursing home, forcing the students to leave for college early. Five years later - the 3rd season finale - Mary Cherry buys Melrose Place, where the entire gang live, spoofing that series. Murphy has also revealed that he and the WB entered into talks about a potential spin-off called "The Cherrys" which would have starred Delta Burke and Leslie Grossman as Cherry Cherry and Mary Cherry. Unlike Popular the show would have been a half hour sit-com and follow the Cherrys as they try to rebuild their lives after losing all the money and wealth.ABOVE IS COPYIED FROM-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_(TV_series)
