Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
irehawk Yeah, this show is good, but the reason it got discontinued right after season 2 in the wrong time because of the bad relation between former WB network president Jamie Kellner and the entire WB network station.This show was favored by the entire WB network station, but not by Jamie Kellner. Jamie is both an ableist and an ageist and that's why he messed up this show's entire second season and that led to this show's discontinuation.This show may need to be rebooted and aired in a low public type of cable network station, so it can last beyond 3 or more seasons without problems.
Tiffany (Purpletigersrule) 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)
jenny_rocks1 I think that " Popular" is a great show and that you should bring it back!!! I have both seasons and i would buy the 3rd season if there was one. the show is great and i really enjoy watching it. It is a funny and dramatic and love watching it. You should bring it back!!!!!! My favorite characters are Mary Cherry and Sam McPherson. I think George and Sam make a great couple same with Brook and Harrison. The t.v show involves really problems that teenagers deal with every day. The t.v show is very realistic. It is my favorite t.v show and i think it is better than any other t.v show on t.v right now. I think they should continue this show because they left the 2nd season on a cliff hanger and now i am wondering what happened. I think that "popular" should start up again!!!!
Ally-19 In opposition to the previous reviewer (what the hell were you watching - a rerun of Dawsons' or a home video??)Anyways, Popular is without a doubt one of THE best teen tv shows to hit screen in the US/UK.The show has just the right mix of comedy and drama which is reminiscent of Heathers. Even the music used with the show sounds like the same music that was used in Heathers.Yes, the show spoofs 'teen issues' but, also adds its own unique take on them. I think you just have to be able to know when to take it seriously and when to laugh - take note previous reviewer! You need a BRAIN.Anyway - just wish they'd get on with it and put it on DVD. It's the least they could do since they unceremoniously ended the series without a proper resolution (b*****ds!)
