Felicity is the show that still asks: Ben or Noel? No need to choose! Over two decades later, one of television's greatest love triangles lives on at ABC.com. It's been 20+ years since we were first introduced to Felicity (Keri Russell); a young college student who impulsively follows her high school crush to college in New York City, completely altering the direction of her life with one decision. The milestone was celebrated this summer at ATX Television Festival where the entire cast reunited for the first time since the series ended. Co-produced by J.J. Abrams (Alias, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), the show lasted for four seasons of unforgettable friendships, unadvised hair cuts and questionable romantic decisions as we followed Felicity on her journey of self-discovery in the Big Apple. To celebrate some recent Felicity reunions and news, we put together some of the most memorable moments with our list of 11 of the top Felicity episodes.
