While watching ym Alias DVd this morning I saw an ad for Felicity. It
said it's produced by J.J.Abrahms, same guy who did Alias & Lost. So I
got me wondering:

Alias and Lost are both good shows; is Felicity worth buying &
watching?

I liked it better than either of those shows.

Ahhh. Yuck. I've had enough soap with the whole smallville thing
Maybe I can find some coed with the box set & watch it for free. They
like soaps.

I don't think so. Kind of a weak soap opera about a girl entering
college. Extremely unrealistic. But it had its share of hardcore fans.

The first three seasons are really boring, but you probably want to watch
the fourth season involving time travel. Season four is more close to Alias
and Lost.

I never recalled watching MSCL when I was younger, but was ?re?introduced to it about 2
years ago by a bunch of students I work with at University.

Much better than what I recalled about Felicity.

I watched both contemporaneous, couldn't stand MSCL & still can't & loved
the beginning of FELICITY. But, it's nothing like the other shows you
mentioned. Nothing. Not really a soap, though, either, nor a soap hybrid.

The last half of season four was some of the dumbest TV ever, IMNSHO.
Totally unrealistic. It reminded me of warped sci-fi... you know, the
kind of sci-fi that could NEVER happen in a trillion years. The rest
of it, I liked, personally.

But it is in the second half of season four Felicity, the Muse inspired J J
Abrams to do Alias and Lost.

And oddly enough, I hate both of those shows with a passion.

Go figure...
