Felicity: TV Guide News

A smart (when it wasn't soapy) series about an idealistic student getting lessons in life and love at a Manhattan university after following her high-school crush east from California. Throughout most of the series' run, she was emotionally torn between somber Ben (the home-town guy) and sensitive Noel (her resident advisor). A doctor's daughter, she also struggled to decide if she should follow in his footsteps or pursue her first love, art.

Oteri Plans 2008 TV Return, Courtesy of J.J. Abrams | Today's News: Our Take | 10/31/2007
Could this be off the shelf? Even though TV Guide had heard the J.J. Abrams/Cheri Oteri half-hour comedy was shelved a few weeks ago, Oteri tells TV Guide she’s back working with Abrams on the project. SNL alum Oteri spoke to TV Guide on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the premiere of her indie film Park (which also stars Dirty Sexy Money’s William Baldwin, and Ricki Lake). Abrams, currently at work on the latest Star Trek feature film, is best known for Lost, What About Brian, Alias and... read more be the first to leave a comment
I'm not even going to attempt ... | Matt Roush | 10/8/2007
Question: I'm not even going to attempt to argue with Julie H.'s recent statement that drugs, alcohol and sex play a part in most high school experiences, considering that none of those things had to do with mine (and I'm 23), but I do want to address the somewhat roller-coaster trend of these teen dramas. I personally loved The O.C., so when I heard about Gossip Girl, I thought it would be a comparable replacement. When I watched the premiere, I (and after reading reviews, it seems that I am... read more be the first to leave a comment
Post Mortem: The WB and UPN | Stephen Battaglio | 10/5/2007
It seems like a more innocent time, when a haircut could rock an entire network. But that's what happened when Felicity star Keri Russell's trademark curly locks were shorn during a summer hiatus in 1999. The early WB fave was never the same after that follicle debacle. Susanne Daniels, who was the creative executive behind many of the network's early successes, and Variety deputy editor Cynthia Littleton have recounted the wild ride of the short-lived six network era in Season Finale: The... read more be the first to leave a comment
CW at TCA: Sophomore Success? | Matt Roush | 7/20/2007
It took a year, but the CW (the network cobbled together from the ashes of the WB and UPN) is finally starting to look like a real network, albeit one aggressively and obsessively focused on the 18-34 youth market. Which no doubt is causing more than a few existential crises among those longtime vets of the TCA press tour who said goodbye to that demo a while ago.Dawn Ostroff, the network’s relentlessly perky entertainment president, took a “no regrets” approach to her upbeat... read more be the first to leave a comment
Exclusive: Keri Russell on Marriage, Motherhood and Scrubs! | Today's News: Our Take | 4/11/2007
I never thought I'd say this, but my 19-second cameo as Dr. Kim's insanely irresistible obstetrician is not the biggest thing to happen to Scrubs this season. No, that honor belongs to my reigning BFF Keri Russell, who on April 26 returns to her small-screen roots with a two-episode arc as an old friend of Elliot's. To mark the occasion, I did something I haven't done since I misplaced her digits nearly two years ago: I got her on the phone. Since last we connected, my beloved Felicity grad... read more be the first to leave a comment
The recent discussion about a ... | Matt Roush | 3/26/2007
Question: The recent discussion about a potential fast-forward for Veronica Mars got me thinking about how shows have a hard time making the leap from a high-school setting to a college setting. Beverly Hills, 90210 and Dawson's Creek took creative nosedives once the gangs left high school. Buffy's college years were such a struggle that she had to die before the show got interesting again. Saved by the Bell: The College Years? Well, who cares, really. But, in fact, we rarely see any shows set... read more be the first to leave a comment
Love Notes: Keri Felicitously Weds Deary Beau | Today's News: Our Take | 2/15/2007
As a Greg Nelson-channeling Michael Ausiello found himself detained at the door by guards, Keri Russell — who recently announced that she was in a family way — spent Valentine's night tying the knot with longtime beau Shane Deary at a NYC restaurant, as close friends looked on, reports Us.In other affairs of the heart, Season 3 Dancing with the Stars champ Cheryl Burke is currently tangoing with Matthew Lawrence, the actor brother of her onetime Dancing rival Joey. "Cheryl is very... read more be the first to leave a comment
I heard that WB was going to ... | Matt Roush | 8/14/2006
Question: I heard that WB was going to air its entire first season before the merge with UPN. Is there any truth to this rumor? With so little on the air this summer, reruns of the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other classic WB shows would bring some much-needed humor to TV. Answer: A slight (but significant) correction: what WB is planning to do on its last official Sunday night, Sept. 17, is rebroadcast the first episodes of such signature series as Felicity, Angel,... read more be the first to leave a comment
Where do you think Everwood ... | Matt Roush | 6/12/2006
Question: Where do you think Everwood ranks as far as TV's greatest dramas ever? I am an older viewer and I can honestly say that it is No. 1 for me. Compared with most "great" shows, it had a relatively short run, but it never lost its magic. Every episode gave the viewers something to think about, something to cherish, a quote to remember. I can't think of any other drama that has touched me and gotten inside of my head and heart the way Everwood has these last four... read more be the first to leave a comment
Alright, I know you keep ... | Matt Roush | 3/10/2006
Question: Alright, I know you keep saying how much you hate Related. However, I love the show (though I know it more than likely won't be returning). Do you think it's possible you don't like the show just because you're a man? It's about four sisters and their relationships! What man would be interested in that? Answer: How about the sort of man who digs a show called Gilmore Girls? Or who avidly followed the adventures of Felicity through her four years of college? Related was too cutesy... read more be the first to leave a comment
I was wondering what's ... | Matt Roush | 2/24/2006
Question: I was wondering what's happening to the family dramas. I used to watch all of them when they were on, but with 7th Heaven going off the air, The Book of Daniel being canceled, Once and Again long gone and American Dreams ending last year, there just aren't family dramas anymore. I miss them. Do you think it's because of the NCIS, CSI, Law & Order shows or because of reality TV? I just want good family dramas back! Answer: I hear you, and I'm especially worried that with WB and... read more be the first to leave a comment
Why is ABC shelving Invasion ... | Matt Roush | 2/13/2006
Question: Why is ABC shelving Invasion for six weeks? It's the best new drama of the year. Period. (Sorry, I'm just not onboard with Commander in Chief, despite what the Emmys and Globes say.) Invasion isn't a Lost clone. It's unique and mesmerizing, in a freaky kind of way. Please say it's coming back. If not, I think I'll borrow a phrase from Dave and blame this on a "government conspiracy." It seems that year after year, the quality shows I love get the boot (Jack & Bobby,... read more be the first to leave a comment
Please, no 7th Heaven ... | Matt Roush | 1/16/2006
Question: Please, no 7th Heaven spin-off with Lucy and Kevin. That sounds like 7th Heaven: The Next Generation. The most interesting concept for a spin-off would be one that follows Martin as he tries to break in to the big leagues. They could spin it in the direction of Felicity and make the show about Martin trying to make it on his own and discover who he is while avoiding the temptation of steroids and being a dutiful father to his child. Eventually his baseball career would go bust and he... read more be the first to leave a comment
In your Jan. 9 posting, ... | Matt Roush | 1/13/2006
Question: In your Jan. 9 posting, Christine asked why roughly five million people who watch Desperate Housewives do not watch Grey's Anatomy. You presented one logical explanation, that some people do not watch past 10 pm/ET due to work the next day. Then you seem perplexed by the rest of us who like to stay with Housewives but not with Grey's Anatomy. To start out with, I would consider myself a connoisseur of television. I say this so that you won't consider me a simple dolt who just... read more be the first to leave a comment
In light of the recent news ... | Matt Roush | 12/19/2005
Question: In light of the recent news of Alias' impending cancellation, I was wondering how you feel the show will be written about in future television-history books. For me, Alias was love at first sight and I have been a loyal follower since the days of double agency and SD-6. While the show has had a glitch creatively in recent years (and I think you would agree), it is still safe to say that Alias is one of my all-time great TV love affairs, if for nothing else than the first two seasons... read more be the first to leave a comment
Hey, Matt, love the column. I ... | Matt Roush | 11/7/2005
Question: Hey, Matt, love the column. I just watched the Oct. 26 episode of Veronica Mars and was absolutely blown away. This was, in my opinion, the best episode of the season so far (in what has been an absolutely excellent second year). I loved the scene between Wallace and Veronica in which Wallace accused her of operating as if it's all about Veronica and everyone else just lives in her world. To me, that scene is what separates a show such as VM from the rest:... read more be the first to leave a comment

Question: I know you're a longtime Alias fan, so I'm curious to hear your expectations about the upcoming season. Without getting caught up in all the rumor-mongering and nastiness, do you think the fifth season can survive all this cast reshuffling and continue to be great programming? I got hooked on Alias because of the forbidden love story, and kept watching for the family drama. The spy plots have grown increasingly ridiculous and are now my least favorite part of the show. With [name... read more be the first to leave a comment
Just wanted to get your ... | Matt Roush | 9/5/2005
Question: Just wanted to get your thoughts on The 4400's second season and see if you knew anything about a third season. I thought the second season was pretty darn good for a sophomore season as well as being the show's first elongated one. Many shows seem to have trouble their second year, including Roswell, Felicity, The O.C. and many others. Do you have any scoop on how the show did in ratings? What are the chances that it will be back next year? If so, when? Answer: As of this writing,... read more be the first to leave a comment
