So a lot of people won’t remember this but there was a point where there were only a handful of real channels.  I mean, cable was populated by channels but they weren’t really offering things like they do now, Comedy Central was all just recut stand up, Cartoon Network was old Hannah Barbara cartoons, TBS, TNT and their ilk fought over 1950’s sitcoms to throw on the air, and most of the rest showed old movies.  It was a wild time, guys, and my cable box only went up to 64!  This era slowly started to end but it still existed in the 90’s, which is how you could have a show become massively talked about while never being very highly rated, which would describe Felicity.  Seriously, everyone was talking about it, when Keri Russell cut her hair everyone had an opinion (the opinion was she should not have).  It feels like another world because in a way it was, the WB doesn’t even exist anymore and even if it did it would not have shows that were so talked about… almost nothing is so talked about anymore, there’s too much competition.  My basic point here isn’t really about TV but about the fact that I am old, Keri Russell is older than me but not so much older than me than she felt in 1998, and it is striking because she went from a fresh young face with her amazing curls to… playing the mom on TV.  More so, her playing the mom is not particularly unreasonable because she’s old enough, it’s just been that long.  But it is making me feel a little old.  So is the fact that finding pictures of her was surprisingly hard, her fame was before the rise of internet gossip so you have a lot of old magazine scans and now no one is that interested so you get… not much.  Stuff changes fast now.  Still, one thing I don’t think has changed is that she’s a very attractive women, I am watching the Americans (from what I am reading about the ratings it is just me and like her mom who are watching) and really enjoying it.  She is playing the mom now but that’s ok because she’s still so pretty, which makes me feel a little better.  Anyway, my real point here has nothing to do with anything, it’s just that today I want to fuck Keri Russell.
