Summary: Dawson's Creek
Review: This DVD set is great! I absolutely love the show and it was perfect timing for the release of this DVD (right before the show ends). I enjoyed the commentary and time capsule also on the DVD. I would definetly recommend it to Dawson's Creek fans and those who enjoy a little teenage drama.

Summary: I don't wanna wait...for Season Two!
Review: When I learned that "Dawson's Creek" would be cancelled at the end of the 2002-2003 Season, I was heartbroken.

A few days later, I discovered that Season One was coming out on DVD--and my heart soared like Robin Williams in Steven Spielberg's "Hook."

For over five years, these unique characters (Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen, Jack, Andie, Grams, Mitch...the list goes on) have been my closest friends. Their battles to wrangle intense, hormone-fueled emotions mirror my own. I can identify with at least one trait in each character, so fully realized are they. Whether it's Pacey's underachieving, Dawson's slavish devotion to blockbusting mega-directors, orJoey's ladder-climbing ability, I feel like someone has observed my journey through life, and crafted a televised adaptation of "cousinpaco's creek."

And now I can bask in an uninterrupted marathon of Season One. The classics reside within: Gail's infidelity, Pacey's liaison with teacher Tamara Jacobs, Bodie...all in crystal-clear digital presentation.

My gratitude to Warner Home Video is confined by no barrier, for I will never have to face the isolation of a life without the denizens of Capeside.

Summary: One of my favorite shows...
Review: I love shows and movies about teenage life & that it's really not as easy and that the things we do aren't stupid. This show shows everything teenagers go through from their first date, first kiss, breakups, having your heart broken...It's a part of life. Dawson's Creek's first season was solid. Not one episode was a miss. Something new and exciting happens with every episode, and the cast is stellar amazing. You couldn't ask for a more talented cast. From start to finish, season one is brilliant. During this season, Dawson and Jen go out & encounter a really hard breakup, Joey realises her feelings for Dawson and vice versa. And in the end, Joey has to face a decision on if her and Dawson stand a chance & whether or not she should take the offer she has to go to France. This season has alot of beautiful moments, but the season finale is heart wrenching. What's also great about this show is that every single character has their own storyline & we get to see every one of their journeys. We really learn alot about the characters and their lives. Dawson's Creek is wonderfully written and directed and features an awesome soundtrack. Be sure to pick this up! This is an amazing show, and you will be missing out on alot if you don't get this!!

Summary: Joey likes Dawson, but Dawson likes Jen, and Pacey...
Review: I managed to avoid watching "Dawson's Creek" until the gang graduated from high school; students in my Popular Culture class always want to write about the show for their television unit so I had to get with the program. That means that when the first season finally became available that I already know that the title character is going to make it through his high school years with his virginity intact. Consequently, watching the first season of the series that was created by Kevin Williamson and which put the WB on the map is not about the big question of whether or not Dawson is going to (and if he does with whom). Basically it is about a group of high school sophomores struggling to maintain their relationships despite their almost constant attempts to destroy those self-same relationships.

The secret to enjoying "Dawson's Creek" is to realize that Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek) is the least interesting member of the core group. This is not to say that he is boring, but when the entire series starts with him coaxing Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) into his bed because they always sleep together on movie night while remaining oblivious to the fact that the girl across the Creek is (a) in love with him and (b) a righteous babe, it is clear that this guy does not have a clue. Throughout the first season Dawson pretty much revalidates that idea at each and every opportunity, especially once "new girl" Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams) literally moves next door. Meanwhile, loveable loser Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) is putting the moves on Tamara Jacobs (Leann Hunley), the gang's new English teacher. This last aspect becomes the proverbial exception that proves the rule because otherwise this coming of age drama would, rather ironically, be about teenagers NOT having sex. In that regard it almost seems like Williamson was trying to come up with a sexual generation-gap show in the grand tradition of "Family Ties," because in that regard Dawon's parents are embarrassing their son to death. But then it turns out his mother (Mary-Margaret Humes) has been having an affair and once his father (John Wesley Shipp) gets to the last person to know stage the destruction of the young Leery's psyche is just about complete. Besides, in the final insult to injury, he only gets to audit his school's film class.

The first season finds Dawson pursuing Jen, but the heart of that season is Joey's transformation from tomboy to potential Miss Windjammer, which reaches its high point when she sings "On My Own" in Episode 111, "Beauty Contest." The soul of the first season is clearly Pacey, who can never believe that he is as charming as he really happens to be; even at this early stage of the game there is a clear suggestion that he and Joey are kindred spirits. Not surprisingly given who created the show, the best episode in this collection turns out to be "The Scare" (Episode 109), which has Dawson pulling out his bag of tricks to scare the gang on Friday the 13th. The characters are likeable, the scripts are halfway literate, and the fact that Dawson and Joey reminds me of Anne Shirley being oblivious to the fact that she and Gilbert Blythe are going to live happily ever after is not a bad thing for "Dawson's Creek" to have going for it either. The DVD extras are halfway decent as well, with a retrospective featurette and some commentary from Williamson and executive producer Paul Stupin.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An overly dramatic show with good performances
Review: Ok I admit I was sorta into Dawson's Creek when first came on. I'd watch it here and there but it's nothing special. I think Kevin Williamson, the writer of Scream's talent was wasted on this show. He had a suspense show that was more his style that was only on the WB for only like 5 weeks. I wish that lasted longer than Dawson's Creek.

I find the show way too mushy and the dialogue to be completely unrealistic, I mean what teenager uses such big words ? The show does have some moving moments and it does have a fast paced engery too it as well despite being a drama series. Sitting through the opening credits is torture though lol. If a [criminal] is ever caught, to get him to talk the best way is to play the theme song to this show. The best thing about the show is the always cute and charming Katie Holmes as Joey Potter. James Vander Beek is annoying as Dawson. He's always whining or jealous about something. I don't know if he's like that anymore though because I only watch the show once in a blue moon when nothing is on other than American Idle lol. Anyway Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams are also good, it's just Dawson I can't stand, lol. I'm not sure if anyone would actually wanna go back and watch the old episodes of this show. But hey if there's a hurricane or a bad snow storm and you are incredibly bored, then maybe you might wanna....watch the Buffy or 24 episodes on dvd instead, lol.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great First Season, A Great Collection
Review: This is a great dvd set. The only problems is that it doesn't have enough special features.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Content: Great! Quality: Deplorable
Review: I honestly believe that season 1 of Dawson's Creek is 13 of the best hours I have ever seen in the world of television drama. The writing is incredible and the camera work is creative...it's a joy to own this excellent work...The bottom line is you're getting a great show at a great price. But that comes with a price of its own...incredibly sloppy work on the mastering process.
