'''''Popular''''' is an American teenage [[comedy-drama]] television series that aired on [[The WB]], created by [[Ryan Murphy (writer)|Ryan Murphy]] and Gina Matthews, starring [[Leslie Bibb]] and [[Carly Pope]] as two teenage girls who reside on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum at their [[high school]], but are forced to get along when their single parents meet on a [[cruise ship]] and get married. The show was produced by [[Touchstone Television]] and ran for two seasons on The WB from September 29, 1999 to May 18, 2001.

By the second season, Brooke and Sam realize that their parents were happy together, and therefore team up to reunite them, a move which results in the girls slowly becoming close friends, and even referring to each other as "family", though tensions rise when they both get involved with the same boy. Also, a reversal of fortunes takes place, with Brooke resigning from [[Cheerleading|cheerleading]] to focus on her studies, and Sam experiencing a surge of sudden popularity at school. In the end of the second-season finale – which turned out to be the unexpected series finale when the show was cancelled – Brooke is run over by a drunk and angry Nicole Julian ([[Tammy Lynn Michaels]]).

* Brooke McQueen ([[Leslie Bibb]]) – She is the most popular girl at Kennedy High. She is beautiful, fashionable, a straight-A student and a cheerleader. An only child whose mother abandoned the family when Brooke was eight years old, she lives alone with her father until the merging of the McQueen and McPherson families. Brooke becomes a half-sister to newborn baby girl, MacKenzie, whom her stepmother gave birth to towards the end of the series. Though she strives to appear perfect, over the course of the two seasons, Brooke reveals her anxiety and low self-esteem on a number of occasions. She struggles with both [[bulimia]] and unresolved grief over her mother's abandonment. Brooke spends a good portion of the series romantically involved with football player Josh Ford, but also develops a relationship with Harrison John, a childhood friend from whom she had grown apart due to their opposite social status. She mentions "thinking about" an attraction to girls, though this was never developed further. Brooke is compassionate, kind and socially aware, though occasionally lacks confidence in her convictions, and is capable of spiteful and petty behavior when she is unhappy and can be ruthless when she is angry. Her complex and initially hostile/eventually close relationship with Sam McPherson is one of the cornerstones of the series. She was run down by Nicole in an angry drunken rage in the Season 2 finale, leaving her fate unknown. Director and writer Ryan Murphy named this character after his niece Brooke Murphy.

* Luke Grant – journalist faculty advisor ([[Chad Lowe]])

* "Canada" – humanities teacher ([[Sandra Oh]])

* Francis Peritti – football coach ([[John Caponera]])

The complete series of ''Popular'' has been released on DVD in region 1 by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]]. The DVD versions of select episodes had to change several songs that were used in the original aired episodes to [[Production music|stock music]] due to [[Music licensing|licensing fees]]. Shows like ''[[Daria#Music and licensing|Daria]]'', ''[[Mission Hill (TV series)#Home release|Mission Hill]]'', ''[[Grosse Pointe (TV series)|Grosse Pointe]]'' and other television series also went through similar situations where their DVD and streaming (ex. [[Netflix]], [[Hulu]]) counterparts used stock music as a replacement in order to cut costs of using other artists' music.

== Music ==

The show's main opening theme was excerpted from the song "Supermodels", a track from indie singer-songwriter [[Kendall Payne]]'s 1999 album ''Jordan's Sister''. Ending theme song is "High School Highway" by [[Sydney Forest]].
