Summary: Dawson's Creek. . .The Beginning of it all . . .
Review: The first season of Dawson's Creek on DVD is exciting for any fan of the show. It is a chance to see how everything began, all over again. Season one lets us see how Capeside was before Joey and Dawson ever began their sometime relationship and the arrival of the blond city girl from NYC, the infamous Jennifer Lindley, who sends the fifteen-year-old Dawson Leery into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Joey masks her feelings for her longtime best friend, Dawson. Season one also introduces Dawson's other best friend, Pacey Whitter. Pacey is the social outcast that is always getting into trouble. During season one, Pacey carries on an affair with his much older English teacher, Ms. Jacobs. Season one also includes the famous "dentition" and "beauty contest" episodes. It is definitely a must for all fans of Dawson's Creek!! Season one includes episodes: #100 Pilot
#101 "Dance"
#102 "Kiss"-Dawson's first kiss with Jen
#103 "Discovery"-Pacey tells Dawson of his affair and Dawson finds out about another affair that is not so wanted.

Summary: Short of Orgasmic
Review: "It was the end of something simple and the beginning of everything else." Lots of people remember that phrase from the promotional phase of Dawson's Creek, when it was still a part of the WB's New Tuesday. And it was a catchy phrase. Five years later I still remember it and I'm sure I'm not alone. But whatever that phrase promised wasn't quite met in the story. Dawson's Creek is the tale of Dawson Leery (James van der Beek), the self-centered, oblivious only child of a dreamer and a Homecoming queen-turned-news anchor who cheats on him, his first lust in "the girl next door" Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams), and his two geek-chic, best friends-that-hate-each-other, Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) and Joey Potter (Katie Holmes). This was probably the least inventive, yet the most put together season, but it falls short of being "great" as the other reviewers called it. It is very easy to get sucked in, though, as the viewer is taken along on this polysyllabic ride through post-pubescence on the wings of the suffering tomboy Joey more often than the title character. Which is a good thing. While in its first run I enjoyed the series, looking back at the first season, this twelve episode span of "homages" to existing films was no My So-Called Life, and really shouldn't be seen as anything more than a guilty pleasure. I am looking forward to the featurettes, though, which could prove the guiltiest of them all.

Summary: We need to get the first season on DVD
Review: ... The U.S. needs to step up and get the first season out before the show ends, otherwise it may be forgotten. Season one was, by far, the best season and gained a plethora of fans. At least get the first season on syndication like they did with Felicity. The fans demand more Dawson's Creek!!!

Summary: Dawson's Creek Caught Lightning in a Bottle...
Review: In the future, when we look back at the end of last millenium, people will focus on Kevin Williamson. I know, "Who is he?" you ask. He is the writer of such movies as "Scream," "Scream 2," and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." I know what you're thinking, "What's so special about these movies?" Well, nothing really. Except that they totally reinvented the way teenagers watch and are portrayed in movies and television. "Scream" made studios realize that teenagers can "get" a parody or satire of something and understand it. When "Scream" was released, Williamson lit a fire under studios to do the same with their own movies which is probably responsible for most the of the teen-comedies that came out in the late 90's - early 00's. And this phenomena trickled down to television with "Dawson's Creek." Williamson, who based the show on his teenage years, wrote and oversaw the first season, which was in short, a masterpiece. A mid-season pick up by the WB, which explains why the first season is only 11 episodes, DC created a stir in the industry with it's risque storylines, involving a student having an affair with his teacher. The writing was spot on, allowing the teens to engage in an intellectual babble. They were smart. They perhaps analyzed situations and feelings a bit too much, but the actors brought a freshness to it and made it watchable, something that after the first season, unfortunatly, wore thin. The first season of "Dawson's Creek" will go down as one of the most quality teenage shows, and in a class that includes generic shows suchs as "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Saved By the Bell," that's saying something.

Summary: First two seasons are worth owning
Review: The 12-episode mid-season run plus the first full season of Kevin Williamson's ground-breaking show single-handedly reinvented teen drama. They pushed the boundaries of acceptable content with teacher-student relationships, challenged us with teenagers who spoke like grad students, and gave us so many postmodern, intertextual references to 1980's pop culture that the show was as much fun for twenty-something adults as it was for kids going through puberty now. It was fresh, with unusual characters and storylines, and had enough unpredictability and pace to keep you engaged, all the while toying with the "will-they-or-won't-they?" Joey/Dawson relationship in the background. It was superb. Then came Season 3. Exit Kevin Williamson and enter the schmaltz - and it's been pretty much the same ever since. What once played like an adult's fond-yet-knowing fantasy of adolescence, now plays like an adolescent's woefully uninformed fantasy of adult life: a world in which Hollywood producers seek out aspiring student filmmakers; where downtrodden employees rise up and overthrow the boss; where impassioned speeches really do change people's hearts and minds; where having gay friends is cool, as long as we never actually see them kiss. It's like "Seventh Heaven" without God - unjustified by moral subtext, such mawkishness is horrific. While there are still rare moments of inspiration - like a devout grandmother taking a weekend fling in Vegas with her black boyfriend, or the brilliant one-liners Audrey is lucky enough to score most weeks - it's almost wholly degenerated into a sappy, lame and agonizing ritual for those left wondering if Joey and Dawson will ever end up together. But by now, does anyone really care? For my part, I just fantasize about a series finale in which they're all drowned in the creek.

Summary: you think season 4 , 5 or 6 was good?
Review: The only reason I watched seasons 2 to 6 was because of this. The force of season one was so strong I actually stayed on the train...DC is a tired, sad nightmare now because of its brainless writers and done-before melodrama, will-they-won't-they-they-won't couples, complete character turnarounds and stupid storylines. Season one, however, was a revolution and inspiration in TV, and I think, it has been sadly forgotten. With the release of this DVD box set I hope the memory of what was once a great show will live on! Bring it on!

Summary: You will not regret it!
Review: This was a wonderful first season of Dawson's Creek. You could identify with at least one of the characters: Joey Potter, the cute tomboy. Pacey Witter, the rebelious teen. Jen Lindly, the new kid from school, and Dawson Leery, charming, daydreamer and a great friend. These four characters lead to an amazing show. I would really want to see some outtakes, commentaries and deleated scenes. This show remindes you of true love and true friendship. You won't regret buying this amazing first season. It will leave you with a smile on your face and a tear in you eye...

Summary: A Great Beginning to a Great Series
Review: Dear Amazonians, Dawson's Creek is a real gem in the realm of dramas that are geared toward the teen and young adult audiences. This season begins the show by introducing us to is characters and their diverse personalities. Joey is a quiet and insecure young woman, while her childhood friend Dawson is a Steven Spielberg wannabe who is lost in is own world of fantasy. Through this season, and the rest of the series, these two characters explore themselves and the various forms of relationships that exist between them. Sometimes they date each other, and sometimes they are just happy to share intimate moments as friends. My favorite episode in this season is "The Scare," as it really shows of Dawson's quirky sense of humor. It plays out just like a scary movie (but of course, Kevin Williamson had directed the Scream series and I Know What You Did Last Summer!), as Dawson sets up his home as a haunted house. Pacey finds an estranged woman at a convenience store, and brings her to Dawson's place, only to find out how weird she is. As the group tells ghost stories, the woman horrifies the crowd by telling them that is not what everyone thinks she is. The group listens intently as she tells of how she carries a big knife in her purse, and likes to slip open peoples throats to see how far the blood will spurt. She and her demented boyfriend really stir things up for the guys when her boyfriend comes over to the house in a rage, trying to get at his girlfriend. Everyone thinks that he is a fanatical killer, trying to keep him out of the house. Finally his girlfriend leaves somewhat peacefully with him, leaving Dawson and the gang confused over his real intentions. Joey plays a mean joke on Dawson, pretending she is dead, and Dawson is left in a state of panic. Later, the two ask each other what they would do had they ever really died, and they use this as a moment of bonding. One thing that stands apart about this show is how young the actors are when they begin the series. We really get to see them mature as the show progresses through its seasons, while they keep their basic demeanor. We meet new characters including Jack McPhee and his sister Andi. This really is a series that I can watch time and time again while keeping myself interested in the character development and the developing storyline.
