This chilly Friday evening, while J.Lo is freezing his arse off at volleyball, I will be settling down to watch an old favorite show, Popular. Did anyone else watch Popular? It was on in 1999 and lasted for 2 seasons, another brilliant but cancelled series, this one about high school cliques. The show was created by Ryan Murphy, and maybe it's this current season of Nip/Tuck--which is not that great, relatively--that made me nostalgic all of a sudden for the off-the-wall world of Kennedy High. It was completely snarky, envelope-pushing, etc, in the manner of N/T, but obviously not so dark... no one's kidneys were stolen, anyway. I've Netflixed the first CD of the first season and plan to make my way through the entire series, despite that I hate to relive the disappointment of its premature end. I really hope it's as good as I remember it.

omg, and--i totally forgot sandra oh was in this series!!!
that girl with the short hair reminds me of rosie perez or early j.lo. they've been rerunning 90210- on the soap channel- but sad to say it's the later years. bcs we all know vintage is best. like pre '96.
i so want to be popular.
