'Popular' is an American teenage comedy-drama on The WB Television Network in the United States, created by Ryan Murphy and Gina Matthews, starring 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 get along when their single parents randomly meet on a cruise ship and get married. The show was produced by Touchstone and ran for two seasons on The WB from 1999 to 2001. The show has occasionally been referred to in the media as a precursor to Glee, a current high school-set musical dramedy by Ryan Murphy that instead revolves around a high school glee club instead of popular and unpopular cliques.
