Trivia:

For the second season, star Keri Russell cut her long hair short, and the network moved the show to Sunday nights. Ratings declined. The network blamed it on Russell's hair, not the move to Sundays, and required the rest of the cast not to cut their hair. On both sets of DVDs recently released by the WB, it is mentioned numerous times that Felicity cutting her hair was written into the script by Abrams and Reeves. Keri Russell did not do it on her own.

Goofs:

Factual errors: In "Fugue", Hanna has an assignment to write a fugue, but the piece that she records is clearly not a fugue.

Quotes:

Richard Coad: I'm not a racist. I'm just a guy in college trying to get laid.

Why I Like The Show

I find Felicity different then many of the other teen dramas. It is easier to relate to, more about finding your way, more mature then "Dawson's Creek" or "Gilmore Girls", although I like those two shows as well. It's a show I will miss, as the series ends, and I will always be glad I watched.
