Lovvvvve Felicity!!!!!, Jun 25 2004
This review is from: Felicity:S3 (DVD)
I can't wait for this DVD to come out!! I am still in shock that they ever took it off the air. It was the only show I ever made sure to watch each week. The WB screwed up when they let go of this one. It's the only show that was truly a work of art. Plus it was so real to life and you could totally see where they were coming from. Plus the triangle of Noel, Ben and Felicity was great. Incredible actors and incredible script. Too bad they let it go, they really had something. Good thing we can get it on DVD atleast. I wish they would sale 3 and 4 at the same time instead of making us wait. Anyway AWESOME show and can't wait to buy it. If you've never seen it, buy it you wont regret it!!!

Glad to have it, but a little light on special features, Sep 23 2004
This review is from: Felicity:S3 (DVD)
It's been a long wait for the DVD release of Felicity's Junior year, the third year in a series which was always thoughtful, intimate and well-acted.
This is the year, though, which has the weakest moments of the drama's four year run. There's Ben's predictable dalliance with socialiate Avery, Noel's (as "Leon") unpredictable but pointless marriage to Natalie, Sean's brush with cancer, the melodramatic and contrived shooting incident involving short-term English roommate Molly -- the one with the drug addiction and abusive boyfriend, naturally -- and Tracy's long mid-season absence from the show, leading to Elana's involvement with fellow student DeForrest.
That said, there are some highlights, besides the usual charming Felicity moments that survive amid the uneven season: Meghan and Sean enter therapy, which provides some levity and insight; Episode 13 ("The Blackout") is one of the best episodes ever; Ruby's return in the final episode is a nice touch; Ben's father, deftly played by the late John Ritter, is first introduced.
As for the DVD itself, it's pretty light on special features, but there's enough there to interest most fans. There's a bit from MadTV featuring Keri Russell lampooning Felicity, a mini-doc on Junior Year called "docuventary," featuring Greg Grunberg and, of course, the usual audio commentary. The episodes can also be played with Spanish audio, which is a kick (at least, for English-only speakers like myself).
Can't wait for Senior Year, which is the best of all four seasons. Look out, Felicity! Hannah's on her way back and I think she's learned Kung-Fu!

Can't wait for season 3, Sep 23 2004

This series is the best drama ever! It's so pure and intense. This series has so much feeling to it. There's depth and detail, but it's also very entertaining. This is a series that knows how to balance drama and humor. And the characters feel real. I'll pick Felicity over any other series to watch. Felicity represents drama at its best. Too bad there isn't much good drama anymore. When Felicity got cancelled, it came as a shock. Though my worry was that if Felicity would continue another season, that it would end up repeating itself. So in all, the four seasons of Felicity present a nice rounded off story that all takes place in college. My season 3 box will arrive shortly. I'm so excited. The only thing bothering me is that some of the episodes from season 1 and 2 DVDs have different music than was broadcasted. I have some of those shows taped and the original broadcasted music is much better - the new audio mix is also done pretty badly. For those episodes, I'll watch the video tapes.
