If you are of a certain age, you will likely recall drama Felicity from J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost) and Matt Reeves. It starred Keri Russell as Felicity Porter, a shy girl who finds out what life is like on her own following her high-school graduation. Translation: angst aplenty!
Also prominently featured on Felicity were her two love interests: Scott Foley as Noel Crane (no relation to Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Frasier Crane), Felicity’s resident advisor at fictional New York University; and Scott Speedman as fellow student Ben Covington. Other cast members included Tangi Miller, Greg Grunberg, Amanda Foreman, Donald Faison (pre-Scrubs), Amy Jo Johnson, Ian Gomez, Rob Benedict, Amy Smart, Sarah-Jane Potts, Amy Aquino, Erich Anderson, Chris William Martin, and Janeane Garofalo.
Celebrating 25 years since debuting on the long defunct network The WB on September 29, 1998, Felicity aired for four seasons (and 84 episodes). Now on Hulu, the streaming service has launched two "best of" collections on the series page. And that begs the question...what team are you on? Team Felicity and Ben, or Felicity and Noel?
