Rating:  - HAHAHA
The second season of Popular is amazing (cheesy) but in the most amazing of ways. I will never get over seeing Mary Cherry go in and out of her Barbara Streisand accent when she dyes her hair dark.
Rating:  - popular 2
It is a good insight into teenagers and all the problems they faced at high school. The writers have done this with some great humour and some serious topics to get their point across. The biggest regret about this series is that it didn`t continue for a third season.
Rating:  - What a letdown - but that cliffhanger???
I'm going to get whomped on for this, I know.
Toward the end of the first season, it became apparent that there was a bit of confusion as to where the show should head. In the beginning, the lines between "gods and clods" (to quote South Park) were well marked. Then, suddenly, with little explanation, everyone is eating lunch together while still hating each other outside of the lunch room. That did not reflect any typical high school experience.
The confusion followed into the second season. It became a show without direction. Executives wanted Dawon's Creek, but others wanted a comedy. There was a considerable amount of discord between the so-called higher ups. That discord really found its way into this season.
There are some shows that can blend humor and drama together quite nicely, but to do so you need great direction and great writing, something this didn't have. Characters came and went with little explanation - no explanation in many cases - and it left for a very ambiguous montage of disconnected pieces. It was supposed to be a show about "gods and clods", and could have done very well if they stuck to theme. But, as I noted above, they lost it in the first season, and losing that edge is a slippery slope. They landed at the bottom of it very hard.
Sam and Brooke were the main characters, but I found that I cared little for them. The drama that was intended for their two characters mostly didn't work - although it worked for Brooke ... Read More
Rating: - This was really the golden age of the WB
I watched POPULAR when I was in high school, back in 2000-2001. It holds a special place in my heart and watching it really brings back memories. It was really one of the finest shows the WB ever produced. I'm a few years older now, but it's funny because life doesn't really change much. We are all still looking for popularity, love, friendship, family strength, confidence, and success. These were the major themes in the show, and rarely does a show present such intelligent and mature views of relationships. It was much, much more than a teen soap opera. It was a commentary on society in general, and our need to belong.
I really related to the characters in POPULAR. Sure, real life in high school during this time was never as glamorous or as fabulous as presented in this show--but I think we all wished it was, and POPULAR gave us dreams. I wasn't the only person who watched the show--a few of my friends also did, and we were all so surprised by its cancellation. We all secretly hoped it would return for another season, and waited, but that never happened.
I think that was because we were all so attached to the characters--and each of the actors was a star in their own right. Carly Pope branched off and did a very fine film called "Trapped in a Purple Haze," in which she had a very tragic role. Sara Rue, who played Carmen, did an incredible movie called "Gypsy 83." Thinking back, 2000-2001 was a great time for movies. Just think how many wonderful movies came out then, such ... Read More
Rating: - "Popular...I know about PopUlar!"
I just finished the second season of Popular and I can tell that I DO NOT REGRET buying both season on DVD at all! I watched some of Season 1 during its original run, but didn't watch any of Season 2. Anyways, I LOVE this show and will probably watch the episodes again! Delta Burke comes back to play Cherry Cherry!
Here is my only problem, but it doesn't reflect the DVD set at all. It's basically that they cancelled this show! They end the last episode on SUCH as cliff hanger and now we can NEVER make up for it. Even if the actors got together to make something, there is NO WAY to make up for lost time and that just sucks!
Here are some of my guess:
1) What happened to Brooke? Did Nicole Kill her when she hit her? I'm guessing not and that she would have "healed" over the summer, but still have shown some of the effects. It would have made a great storyline.
2) What happened to Josh and Lily's Marriage? Well I would suspect that they would go back home and probably get the marriage anulled or something but still remain together. If they continued this series, they wouldn't have written either off, so surely Josh would have found a way to stay.
3) What about Mary Cherry and her evil twin? Well just like all Mary Cherry stuff, I'm sure that things would have been solved and she would be back home and the twin would be gone!
