tvshowsondvd.com is reporting that these will be making their way to DVD in June/July 2004. Anyone else completely excited by this news.

I always thought Popular would never make it to DVD (such low ratings) but I guess they saw it had a chance. I hope some kind of explanation is included with the Popular set about he cancellation (there was a very nice article written by the show's creator about what would have happened had it not been cancelled -- it appeared online a while ago.)

A little annoyed that Felicity is going to take a full year for the next season, but I'm glad to have it at all.

Jeff....I think deep down inside you know why there hasn't been any O&A announcement...probably poor sales of season 1.

I'd like to know whether "Popular" will include the original music. The show used LOTS of songs and I wonder whether they were able or willing to shell out the cash to get clearance or if they will go the "Felicity" route and replace the music. Knowing that Buena Vista is also the studio releasing the altered "Felicity" DVDs, I'm not hopeful.

And sadly, it was on right before they were getting worked into DVD contracts.

I'm betting the music will be replaced in a lot of parts. However, I don't recall it using much "pop" music, and more generic (kind of like what Buffy did). Am I wrong?

Also, I remember hearing the score more often than most shows.

As long as they can clear the opening credits song "Supermodels" by Kendall Payne, I'll be happy.

Robert,

I seem to remember lots of disco or '70s songs, maybe not so many current songs. There was an unbelievably funny episode that involved mullet haircuts, John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever. I think it was season 2.

I only saw a few episodes of Popular but it was a good show .

As for Felicity, I look forward to getting them all on DVD. Havent found a place yet that's cheap enough.

Wonder if during the last season they will put stuff in they cut out in the last episode. I remember reading they had to cut out scenes that explained why Ellena was at the wedding at the end.

Now if we could just get another coming of age TV show (Wonder Years) and then I could die a happy man.
