Felicity - Opening Scene

It was honest and very mature at that time in comparison to other teen shows. I especially love the quiet moments of this show.

I was 3 years old when this first aired and my mom absolutely loved this show. I remember when we were watching this together. Now I’m a college sophomore and I’m glad I found it 😊 it’s one of my favorite shows.

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

I adore “Felicity” and rewatch the entire series every few years. It’s truly my all time favorite TV series. This came out when I was in college so I felt like I was going through everything with the characters. It was so relatable…except that I was at Middlebury College in Vermont versus studying in NYC. Also loved that Felicity’s mentor’s name was Sally, so it always felt like Felicity’s character was talking directly to me when she recorded her tapes.🥰

[@barkazineb]

I'm 39 , i still like Felicity, i watched the show first time when I was a student in middle school 😊 Hi/salaam from Morocco

[@adamsamad]

I graduated from high school in 1999 and was a shy Muslim kid in Queens NY. I had the biggest crush on Martha Crespo, a beautiful spanish Jehovahs Witness brunette. I had all the AP classes with her and the only time I spoke to her after 3 years was to sign my yearbook. Im happily married with two boys but I also wonder to this day what my life would be like if i pursued her. Btw because of this show, I also went to NYU and she ended up in Queens Community College. Tried to find her on social media just put of curiosity but no presence. This show was a driving force at that time. I was felicity lol.

[@wobbles1149]

When I was about 7, my mom and I watched the series together in one sitting. I don’t remember much of it but I remember being obsessed with it. Now, a decade later, I’m going to watch it with my mother this fall through spring (I like to watch series slowly now to age with the binging) before I leave for college after the summer.

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

When you heard about JJ Abrams people always talk about Alias, Lost, Fringe, Star Trek new movies, Mission Impossible and Star Wars the Force Awakens... but Felicity was my first approach to J.J.

[@valentina47734]

I just noticed how Felicity is actually sequel of My so-called life. Even the music is similar. No wonder I adored both of them.

[@sunshinecity8351]

Yes! Totally

[@neestovekin8251]

I am honestly astonished this connection isn't discussed more online. The spirit is absolutely fluid from one show to the next (and the timelines fit so perfectly, too). Yes, the music; yes, the opening credits montage (sepia toned/ stretched out dreamlike for MSCL, black n white/ photos in motion for Felicity); yes, the nuance and dreamtime of storylines and feelings in between. Angela and Felicity have quite orthogonal ways of behaving/ dealing with the world (like, it feels like Angela is actually existing in complete silence most of the time, swept up in feelings and images but it's wordless; where Felicity has more chatter in her head, always re-analyzing her choices and trying to predict consequences and implications; some of this difference might chalk up to age, ofc, but also I feel like it's that they're genuinely diff personality types). And yet, that spacious, reflective atmosphere permeates and sets the tone for both shows, and makes them spiritual twins. These two will be my faves forevermore.

[@christinahunter9533]

What a great show. Even watching this clip brought back so many memories the nostalgia the yearning. Decided I wanted to go to NYU after watching this show lol. Almost made me want to cry it was so good. So bummed this got taken off of Netflix.

[@weedmastersr]

This was back when TV shows didn't have huge budgets or great special effects but had something sorely lacking today, soul. It seems like somewhere along the way America lost its soul. I just haven't seen anything in recent times that I can connect with so personally. For me, this show will always be a way back home and to find my younger self.

[@OswinPond]

You're just watching the wrong shows then. Just watch Barry or Better Call Saul and you'll get plenty of soul.

[@weedmastersr]

@@OswinPond Agreed on Better Call Saul but it's placed in the early 2000s and the best show currently on television and a major exception from the current mainstream because it is not paced nor feels like a current show.

I was new in this country and I didn't know how or where I can watch it. I tried to find the video/dvd at several places in Sacramento but I was unsuccessful. You know it's funny that when you love someone, you also love the things they love. I think that's what happened to me. I don't have better way to describe it. There are so many things I would like to share with her. But I don't want to interfere in her private life now. I miss my friend, Brooke Bond. I hope that she is happy and loved by someone more than I did.

I work in Higher Ed and have overseen RAs...this show really captures some pivotal moments in university life - even in 2021 Even if the material isn't correct, it's at least close enough that I can reasonably use it as an example and modify it a little to suit 2021 I'm very glad I just discovered this show a month ago

[@felicitypodcast1491]

You would have an interesting perspective on this show. I think season 1 will probably be the most useful for you.

[@TheBattProductions]

@@felicitypodcast1491 It seems to be. I haven't watched all of Season 1, but I got about 9 episodes in and it was EXCELLENT to teach RAs... The sexual assault scene between Amy Jo Johnson and the boy (I don't know their names) - and what happens after with the victim, the assailant, the RA's intervention, Felicity's struggle with confidentiality, etc. is MASTERCLASS in the dynamics involved in some of these situations as a university administrator. I'm thankful for the show in this regard, truthfully. It isn't all what we'd do today procedurally, but I can at least point to a realistic scenario and go "Okay, so this is roughly how the student feels and how we respond will affect their experience now at the university majorly in a positive/negative way. Also, aside from us, this is what the people AROUND that person is feeling, so remember that in our work"

So, now, four years later, I don’t even know you, but I admire you. Well, this makes me sound crazy, but I’m okay with that. So take care of yourself.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

In eighth grade, I admired my first crush all year, afraid to talk to her. Near the end of the year, when I would deliberately get myself kicked out of math class to go home early, she'd be on the steps, and we'd talk. On the last day of classes, she invited me to a group outing to Burger King because she was leaving before finals. Our group of six wound down to just us, and as we were standing on the middle of Eighty-Third and Broadway, she smacked my first-ever kiss on my lips, surprising the heck out of me. Still one of the best experiences of my life. I then wrote her two love letters and got a "friendzone" letter in return (she later claimed my letters had been intercepted by her "protective" friend). That September, she appeared in my history class with a big smile on my face, and my teacher needling me. I pretended not to know her, concluding she was insane. Best decision I ever made, but that first kiss had to be among the coolest ever.
