'Popular' Is As 'Popular' Was

I admit it. I have a girl crush on Mary Cherry.

As portrayed by Leslie Grossman, Mary Cherry was the id personified on The WB's late lamented teen comedy Popular. Whether channeling Barbra Streisand during a crucial bowling competition or shooting a poisoned dart into a lobster before devouring it, Mary Cherry was unrestrained and unwound. She provided comic relief when the main storylines would go all Dawson's (read: mushy and melodramatic) on me. And her manicures were always flawless -- pretty good for a girl who used to have webbed hands! Mary Cherry is my favorite "psycotic multi-millionaire Texan girl", and she should be yours too.

Don't believe me? Check out Popular: The Complete Second Season when it's released on Tuesday, March 8. If you can't wait that long, spend the weekend watching Popular: The Complete First Season and getting fitted for that hot pink "Chola 3" leather jacket I know you've just been dying to get.
