Sunday, September 17, 2006, marked the official last night of the WB network. It was marked by showing pilots of the following shows: Felicity, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dawson's Creek. Felicity is the story of a high school graduate who decided to go to college in New York after a boy she barely knew as a teenager signs something in year book after graduation that makes her change plans that were decided by her parents. So there she meets high school crush Ben (Scott Speedman), as well as new best friend Julie (Amy Jo Johnson) and resident adviser Noel (Scott Foley). She also has a weird roommate named Megan (Amanda Foreman) and sends messages on tape to former French tutor Sally (voice of Janeane Garofolo). A good start to a mostly realistic show about college life and its good and bad times. Written by J. J. Abrams and directed by Matt Reeves, the shows creators and executive producers, they picked fresh-faced Keri Russel for the title role and she is perfect in showing the character's uncertainty and eventual acceptance of New York living, 2,000 miles from her hometown of Palo Alto, Calif. A worthy show that helped put WB on the map, it's as good a start as any to mark WB's farewell broadcast. Here's to you, Felicity Porter!

This show was such a big part of my childhood, I was so happy to see it appear in Disney plus. It's such a good young adult show that makes you think.

I can't believe this... after so many years of AVOIDING this show.... like I mean judging it and avoiding this show! I'm finally watching it in 2021 thanks to Disney+ At the age of 36 years old I'm happy I'm giving it a try. I have to say the first few minutes.... it DRAWS you in and you're HOOKED! I'm excited to see where this goes!

When I watched Honest Trailer on LOST on YouTube, they mentioned this show, too.

I love LOST and I hate The Rise of Skywalker. I am aware of the shortcomings of the former; the latter, though, was a complete disaster.

While watching the pilot of the show, for the first time ever, I hoped the protagonist would get mugged and murdered in an alley in New York.

Story-telling is not bad. However, it seems that character development would either be too slow or not happen, at all.

Characters are too much of a cliché, out of hollywood rom-coms.

I am not sure if I will finish the show or not. That is why I am writing my comment here in the pilot.

Acting is nice, though, despite the possible fact that actors did not know where their character archs were going.
