Once upon a time, there were a pack of brunettes, led by a girl named Sam. One day, she got into a squabble with Brooke, the leader of the Girl Posse of blondes at her school. Imagine their surprise when the two of them found out that their single parents are now dating each other. And want to shack up. Off-and-on wars ensue, both at home and at school.Everyone is obsessed with popularity, down to the teachers. The popular crowd get their asses kissed, the unpopular crowd get into fights with them, while the actual nerds try to swim up from the bottom. Much No Going Steady and crossing of the popularity lines ensue, along with doses of surreality and silliness galore.This teen dramedy series, which aired on The WB for two seasons (1999–2001), is notable for being the first show created by Ryan Murphy, who'd experience more success following the cancellation of this show.There are also BUTTLOADS of twins on this show. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Nicole is the show's biggest example. New student Adam is also very capable when it comes to this (his backstory reveals that he forced a girl into a mental institution just by screwing with her head). Brooke and Sam also have their moments, as their ongoing rivalry gives them more than ample time to demonstrate. | |

Pretty in Mink | |
| Popular / int_44f5d199 | comment |
Pretty in Mink: This is a school for rich kids, so a fair amount of furs are worn. The most are worn by Mary Cherry, who wears a lynx coat in the pilot, and even in the Christmas Carol episode her "Ghost of Christmas Present" counterpart carries a white fur muff. Emory Dick has younger twin sisters, Emily and Emma, who ask Nichole and Mary Cherry to train them to be the alpha bitches at their school. Nicky and Mary agree and when they meet the twins at their home the girls are wearing black mink jackets. Mary tells them to pet their furs while showing their best superior attitude faces. | |
