What about Mary Cherry?

I always had a soft spot for that under-rated and quickly cancelled TV show “Popular”. Now it seems that Hollywood has finally gotten round to looking at this show and harvesting the talent involved.

Leslie Bibb, after bagging a couple of supporting roles in high-profile movies, has bagged a lead role in the soon-to-shoot indie comedy, “Miss Nobody”.

Bibb will play a mild-mannered secretary who rises fast up the corporate ladder after she discovers a taste for murder. From spending a brief time in the corporate world, I have to say that this appeals to me on so many levels, and Bibb has a knack for comedy.

“Popular” was one of those completely over the top high school comedies that always made me laugh. The cast involved have all gone on to other success, but it was mainly the women who dominated the show.

Sarah Rue made the biggest splash with her own sitcom “Less Than Perfect” and she was singled out by many critics. Tammy Lynn Michaels gained notoriety as being Melissa Etheridge’s lover, but also had roles in “The L Word” as Lacey, and “Committed”. Christopher Gorham is now riding high with “Ugly Betty” as Henry

Carly Pope hasn’t made the splash her talent and her looks deserve, and lastly what about Leslie Grossman.
She was the reason I tuned in every week. Her Mary Cherry is just plain hysterical, over the top and grotesque. I, for one, am surprised she has not gone on to bigger and better things.

How gay is Wentworth Miller in this?????!!!???!!! Total give away.

I LOVED Mary Cherry!
How crappy is it that we never got to know what happened to Bibb's character in the end. Someone should totally bring this show back to life.
