College Drama: A Look Back At Felicity

Denied by NYU

While multiple other shows have been able to gain permission from New York University (NYU) to use in their various shows, the school said no to Felicity. Apparently, NYU was afraid that the show would include topics that were far too risqué and didn’t want to be associated with that.

As far as raciness goes, this show was akin to another WB series, Dawson’s Creek, so it was not really racy at all. It’s pretty funny to look back at this from the year 2017 when there were far riskier shows at every turn. Anyway, Felicity chose to use the name University of New York instead which is a fictional place but definitely sounds as though it’s real.
