Ryan Murphy - "Popular"

Richard Dower

Anyone remember this WB show?....it used to be shown on Sky One, twas like a early draft of Glee....but without the singin' and dancin', Leslie Bibb :eek:

Twas a fair bit Beverly Hills 90210, with the quirky wit of Glee...i liked t.

I remember that! Although I was probably 10 at the time. Happy days!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

It was a great show - 100 times better than Glee in my opinion.

Yeah I remember it. Just like Glee it was far too fake for me.

Have both seasons on DVD and enjoyed them on a re-watch. It's better than Glee and it didn't pander as much to its audience. It was also a bit bonkers - the Season 1 finale is the most insane finale I've seen after "The Prisoner" but a lot funnier than it was.

Nip/Tuck was a great Ryan Murphy produced show. You don't get a show much wackier than it.

It's a fairly bizzare....but excellent show. Loved the claw and Mary Cherry

Far far more entertaining than 'Glee'..

.. 'Popular' was a cracking show!
