College Drama: A Look Back At Felicity

New York College Kids Based on California Kids

Apparently, the creators and producers of Felicity reached out to real life college students to formulate the writing to successfully portray college students. Interestingly, the producers and writers reached out to California college kids, sophomores from the University of California Los Angeles, about their own experiences.

Some of what they said included hair cutting, feeling ugly, and being promiscuous without any feelings involved. Clearly, the creators of the show adhered to their ideas and directly showed these kid’s lives which can be seen in the first five episodes of the second season. Later, J.J. Abrams admitted that this didn’t make for the best viewing. Later episodes showed a totally different direction for the show.
