Felicity

Felicity was an American television series that revolved around the fictional college experiences of the title character, Felicity Porter, as she attended the "University of New York," based on New York University, across the country from her home of Palo Alto, California. The series ran for four seasons from 1998 to 2002, with each season roughly corresponding to the traditional freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years students attend at universities. The series was created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves with the assistance of many writers, and was directed and produced by many people, including Brian Grazer and Ron Howard. It originally ran on the WB Network.

Some episodes of the show began with stark camera shots of Felicity sitting in a dorm room or apartment holding a tape recorder, recalling events in order to make a cassette tape to send to an old friend named Sally Reardon (voiced by Janeane Garofalo). This occasionally provided a method for Felicity to narrate an entire episode. At the end of episodes like this, Felicity would often be shown listening to a tape Sally sent in reply. This was a staple of early episodes, but became less frequent as the series went on.

The story of the series begins at Felicity's high school graduation where she asks Ben Covington (played by Scott Speedman), a classmate whom she has a crush on, to sign her yearbook. Moved by a comment he writes, she decides to change her education plans completely, deciding to follow Ben to New York rather than attend Stanford University to prepare for the study of medicine.

Upon arriving in New York, Felicity discovers that her ideas were rather misguided. Ben has a girlfriend and apparently did not actually have strong feelings for Felicity (he has difficulty remembering her name when they first see each other). While Felicity works to sort out her emotions, she continues the basic motions of student life and moves into her dorm. There, she meets the resident advisor Noel Crane (Scott Foley). Eventually, romantic involvements ensue, and the relationships between Felicity, Ben, and Noel form the basic dramatic conflicts in the show and continue until the end of the series.

A number of other characters appear throughout the series. Felicity's college roommate for the first two years is Meghan Rotundi (Amanda Foreman), a goth Wiccan who occasionally casts spells on her for good or evil. Julie Emrick (Amy Jo Johnson) is one of Felicity's best friends for three seasons, as is Elena Tyler (Tangi Miller), who often takes classes with Felicity. Felicity has male friends, including Sean Blumberg (Greg Grunberg), who is always trying to produce new off-kilter inventions, and Javier Quintata (Ian Gomez), who manages the coffee house Dean & DeLuca where Felicity works for most of the time she is in college. John Ritter also guest stars on the show as Ben's father, and Jennifer Garner made two appearances in the first season and one in the fourth as Hannah Bibb, Noel's ex-girlfriend.
