Description
Welcome to "The Popular Table", where two women in their 20s attempt to breakdown the phenomenon of not so normal teenagers on television. Ever wonder why the teenagers on your favorite show never seem to have parents that are aware of their surroundings? Or why the teenagers never actually deal with normal teenage issues? Well, these are the questions we have too. So, to answer them we will enter the madness by watching T.V. shows about teenagers, and each week we will unpack an episode. We invite you to watch along and slowly lose your grasp on reality with us!
