| | Online NewsHour: Sex on TV - February 17, 1999 |
 | | For example, this one episode where Felicity decides, "Okay, I'm going to have sex with someone." Though she didn't, in the episode; she goes to the health service department and she sort of obsesses over condoms, and we did a whole condom demonstration and it was a very funny scene. |
| | And what was amazing, and we're certainly not the first show to do this, but we put a hot line number on at the end of the episode and thousands of calls came in not only after the first airing but the second one as well from young women who might not otherwise have called. |
| | To me a show like "Felicity" is a perfect example of how television is this battleground for art, the vision of the producer and the writers and so forth, commerce, the need to get ratings, morality, the need to somehow respond to these kinds of things. |
