overview
What is Popular about?
It's not a contest. It's a war. Brooke McQueen, a popular cheerleader at Jacqueline Kennedy High School, and Sam McPherson, the editor of the school paper, are polar opposites. When their single parents unexpectedly meet and get engaged, Brooke and Sam have to deal with their new situation on top of regular teenage girl problems. It blends comedy and drama elements. The series reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is shaped by its creators, Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthews.
