We want "Popular" back!

To:  Warner Bros. Television, Touchstone Pictures, Ryan Murphy

"Popular" was a 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 co-exist when their single parents randomly meet on a cruise ship and get married. Despite fitting into a rather common category, as a teen-centered mix of drama and comedy, Popular differentiated itself from its peers in its quirky, non sequitur humor and overall satirical approach to characters and story lines, a feature that would grow as the series progressed.

The show ran for two seasons on The WB from 1999 to 2001. Though a big hit with The WB's teenage audience during its first year, the ratings could not sustain the network moving it to Friday nights. Creator Ryan Murphy was promised a third season, but instead, Popular was canceled, leaving the final episode of the series on a violent cliffhanger which was never resolved.

We, the "Popular" fans and loyal WB viewers, ask Warner Brothers Television and Touchstone Pictures as well as Ryan Murphy to bring back "Popular" in a re-do of the show.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
