Celebrities in DVD TV Shows

Popular was a teenage comedy-drama on The WB Television Network in the United States, created by Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthews. It starred Leslie Bibb and Carly Pope as two teenage girls that reside on polar opposite sides of the popularity spectrum at their high school, but are forced to co-exist when their single parents randomly meet on a cruise ship and get married. The tv show, which was a hit with The WB's teenage audience, ran for two seasons from 1999 to 2001. It even won at the Teen's Choice Award for Choice Breakout Show for television (2000).

The tv series revolves around Sam McPherson (Pope) and Brooke McQueen (Bibb), students at Jacqueline Kennedy High School. Brooke is a popular cheerleader, and Sam is an unpopular journalist. Their respective groups are forced to socialize when Brooke's father and Sam's mother get engaged, and the two girls reluctantly begin sharing a house.

Despite fitting into a rather common category, as a teen-centered mix of drama and comedy, Popular differentiated itself from its peers in its quirky, non sequitur humor and overall satirical approach to characters and story lines, a feature that would grow as the series progressed.
