Summary: The Single Best Season on Television Ever!
Review: This is an absolute classic season of television and should go down as a momentous event in American History. What really drives it is Dawson and Joey's relationship. Dawson's infatuation with Jen causes him not to see the forest through the trees, but hopefully true love shall prevail. Their history, growing up as best friends, their innocence, living in a town sheltered from the harsh realities of the world, and their love, life meaning nothing without each other, all which rarely come together in real life are captured in this magnificent season.

Season One took the magic of the Wonder Years, combined it with the drama of Beverly Hills 90210, and kept it emotional. However, Wonder Years and 90210 got better as the series went on, whereas Dawson's Creek peaked in its first season and seldom had any more episodes of this caliber. At least there is less wait since this is the first release. Note to DC writers: the series failed with Joey falling for Pacey's whole 'feel sorry for me' routine to get her in bed and then dump her, which was a complete insult to her character. However in season one she has more sense and he goes after a less innocent and older character, Ms. Jacobs, with very entertaining results. Thankfully, Wonder Years did not have Paul sleep with Winnie or it may have suffered a similar fate.

For those who criticize this show based on commercials, watch the Pilot episode. And if you still don't like it, than go back to 3rd Rock, Everybody Loves Raymond, or whatever's winning the grammys.

The DVD with digital quality picture and sound should nicely complement the already unlimited replay value of Dawson's Creek. So pick this up ASAP, and Season Two when it comes out for the first few episodes and Rachael Leigh Cook's all too few appearances.

Summary: It's the end of something simple....
Review: Remember those lines? I know I do. "Dawson's Creek" first aired on the WB in 1998 when I was 13, just a babe in the world. And, it was Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen that introduced me.
From the beginning I was carried away by everything this show had to offer especially the bold story lines, and smart scripts.
I'm really glad Dawson's Creek (1st Season) is now on DVD.

Summary: What we've all been waiting for...
Review: I am a huge fan of Dawsons Creek, from London and here they released a 'Best Of' DVD/Video of Season one and two, containing only 2 episodes. So I am pretty excited that the complete series is being released... I hope they release all the following series coz Jack is definately my favourite! He does get a bit boring and annoying when they go to college but Kerr is definately a great actor. A poignant, thought provoking series that deserves to be reocognised as one sensational show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS SHOW

Summary: I've been waiting for this!!!!
Review: I HAVE been waiting for this! i just dl'd katie, aka, Joey, singing "On My Own"! and I just went to the official site to see if there was any way to download episodes of the show! I've been watching it from the beginning. Although I can't wait until later episodes come out! I particularly like the Joey and Pacey episodes! I'm not sure of the name of it..but i like the season finale when pacey and joey are together, i believe it was called, "the Longest Day"! Being a "Buffy" fan, I have already bought the first 2 seasons on DVD..and now the 3rd one is out! Now I can add "Dawson's Creek" to my collection! talk about investing some money, these things aren't cheap!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thank goodness!
Review: I have been watching for this for a while, ever since I saw that "Felicity" dvds were out. This is such an amazing show, and reminds me of all the drama that went on in those high school days. The writing is great, the actors are great....this is just all-around an amazing show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: First two seasons are worth owning
Review: The 12-episode mid-season pickup 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. So buy this box set and treasure it - it will take you back to the good ol' days when the show still had some guts.

Summary: A Show Everyone Can Relate To
Review: Dawson's Creek is such a great show! I think what I like the best about it is how closely I can relate to the storylines. Watching the back and forth, unrequited love story between Dawson and Joey pulled at every last one of my emotions. Again, a really excellent show that no one should miss.

Rating: 5 stars
