Popular › 2nd Season (6-DVD)

Entertainment Weekly - 03/29/2005
"[A]n ecstatic mix of outrageous farce and poignant insight..."

A curious blend of sarcastic and satirical humor with genuine concern for issues facing teens, POPULAR never lived up to its name in the ratings and was canceled after two seasons. That last season of the short lived show is collected on POPULAR: SECOND SEASON, with all 21 episodes included. The second season features guest stars such as Ann-Margret, Ed McMahon, and RuPaul. POPULAR concerns two girls, Brooke, the well-liked blonde cheerleader, and Sam, her brunette opposite. The pair are thrust into each others lives, however, when their parents begin dating, making them near-stepsisters. POPULAR, like many of its contemporary teen comedies on TV and in film, takes the social structure of high school seriously, and examines it satirically to reveal its absurdities and how it is ultimately little different from the world of adults.

Popular Second Season

Roles become reversed and the lines between the popular and those who aren't become blurred as Brooke, Sam, Nicole, Mary Cherry, and the hilariously over-the-top chemistry teacher, Bobbi Glass, return for the second season of POPULAR. When a star football player arrives at Kennedy High, chaos ensues within the school's social pecking order. Backstabbing, lies, betrayal, and black mail become the order of the day in the search for the Holy Grail of high school: popularity. Now you can be a part of the POPULAR crowd, the show that blends outrageous humor with relevant issues facing high school students. Experience all 21 episodes of the show's second and final season and relive your high school days again (and again and again...).
