It's with a little tear in my eye that I inform you all that tonight I'll be tuning in to Greek for the very last time. The ABC Family show has become more than just a guilty pleasure over the past few years, but luckily there are a few other shows out there that can give me a fix of the college hijinks and drama. If you're in the same boat as me, here are five other series that just may strike your fancy if you're a fan of Greek.

Last week I asked you all to chime in with ideas for the beloved JJ Abrams college drama, Felicity. Some of you expressed dismay at the thought of recasting this show — and don't worry, I too am in love with the show, and there's no actual remake in the works or anything like that. This really is just for fun! So, on with the game.
The role of Felicity is key. She's a mix of super-smart, girly, and highly neurotic, and the audience must be able to sympathize with her. I like Whip's idea for Kristen Stewart in this role, and alethe16's suggestion for Olivia Thirlby is awesome, too. Several of you suggested Emily VanCamp as well, and in my mind, you just can't go wrong with that girl.
I also really like sundew's idea for Kat Dennings to play Felicity's roommate, Meghan! I love that actress so much. As for the guys, alynn's suggestion for Taylor Kitsch to play Ben is inspired and right on in my mind. But it was the recast that included a member of the cast of Privileged, one of my favorite shows on the air right now, that won me over. Congratulations to nomiloo2000!

The WB (remember when it was just the WB?) has given me so many earnest dramas to revel in, and Felicity sucked me in from day one. I loved the idea of a "college drama" that portrayed higher education the way I liked to romanticize it, which is to say: full of cozy sweaters, intriguing classes, BFFs and boys. And deep thoughts. And working at coffee shops.
So, who would you cast as the main character Felicity, originally played with a subtle spunkiness by Keri Russell? Then there are the two main men in her life: dreamy Ben, who she followed to NYU, and responsible resident adviser Noel. Who would you cast as her funny Wiccan roommate Meghan, and good friend Julie? I think we should recast Felicity's other friends Elena and Sean, too. Finally, let's think of someone to play Javier, Felicity's boss at Dean & DeLuca.
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, Nov. 25, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more
Tonight's premiere of Fringe got me thinking about creator/executive producer JJ Abrams and his pretty stellar track record on television.
In the past decade, Abrams has created or co-created four shows (Felicity, Alias, Lost, and now Fringe) and executive-produced two others (Six Degrees and What About Brian). Many of those shows had ratings success and/or significant buzz, and all of them (well, except maybe Six Degrees) had vocal fan followings. While we wait to see how Fringe will stack up, which is your favorite of Abrams's series so far?
In a Thanksgiving episode of Felicity, Noel receives a surprise visit from his girlfriend Hannah. Name the actress who played Hannah.
During Felicity's freshman year of college, what is her major?
