I'm a closet watcher of Popular:)

by Shanny21 , Dec 26 '00
Pros: Funny, refreshing show for teens/young adults, it does deal with serious issues too
Cons: It can get WAY beyond corny at times!
I guess you could call WB the main place for teens or young adults to go to check out shows that would interest or even remotely relate to them. Popular is a rather new show in it's second season I believe.

by kksg13 , Mar 11 '00
Pros: there is always a lesson learned

At first glance, Popular seems like just another one of those WB shows where all the rich pretty people get most everything they want. Not so. It might take you a couple of episodes, but I promise, you WILL be hooked!

Not ONLY for High School teens!

by glpeterson74 , Sep 12 '00
Pros: Outstanding stars and supporting cast, Addresses contemporary issues faced by the youth of today, excellent writing
Cons: Sometimes the plot can be become a little too ridiculous (although it is in the name of comedy)
Although aimed at a demographic consisting of junior high school and high school aged children, Popular has made a fan out of this 26 year old viewer. The witty dialogue and subtle humor (as well as the humor of the not so subtle variety) won me...

Pros: Funny pranks
Cons: Fake view of the world
WB's Popular is about high school life in the late 90's in a rich school setting. Although this show can have funny spin off's such as guest appearances by Delta Burke or revenge by the two cliques, I think it can go a bit overboard. It's giving a...
