Summary: In The Beginning, Kevin Williamson Created... Dawson's Creek
Review: At long last, a return to the vaunted glory days of Dawson's Creek, the series that reinvented the teen drama genre. Here we see the "Core Four" (Dawson Leery, Jen Lindley, Joey Potter, and Pacey Witter) as they grapple with everyday emotions in their own unique and inimitable styles. They run the gamut from love, anger, jealousy, grief, and struggling with self-identity. Williamson's vision was both fresh and refreshing, sweeping aside the vestiges of the oft-overdramatic Beverly Hills, 90210 or the childish Saved By The Bell.
Everything that made the Creek a place to visit without fail on Wednesday nights is epitomized in the first season, and the heart-wrenching season finale sealed by the first kiss between Dawson and Joey would set the stage for the seasons that followed. While the show has floundered since Williamson's departure, it still remains a staple of the WB Network despite this, its sixth and final season. We've seen the best and the worst this series had to offer, and we've remained loyal nonetheless.
My hope is that we savor this DVD and the ones representing the seasons that follow. We can sit back and reminisce about a show that had no equal during its heyday, and soften the blow of the May 14th series finale. So, relax and enjoy Dawson's Creek in all its glory as we prepare to say farewell to some old friends for the last time.

Summary: Instant Classic
Review: This TV series is really important to me, it is a part of my life I wont forget, watching it evry Friday. The boxed set is amazing!, all the episodes are a masterpiece!, The acting is great, and the plots rock!
This is a 4-disc set With all 13 episodes from the first season which premiered in 1998. The only episode which isnt so great for me is "Double Date" its OK but not as exciting as "Detention", "Detention" is my favourite episode apart from "Pilot". If you are one of the shows fans, you should not miss out on the first season! It is a vital un-missable part of the whole show!, Season two is full of surprises aswell. I reccomend this awesome series 100%. Don't Miss Out.

Summary: It Brings Back The Memories
Review: It's funny how you associate a cetain past-time in your life with the songs and TV shows that were popular at the time. When I was 16 I watched the entire first season of Dawson's Creek with an ex-girlfriend of mine. Much to my surprise, I got hooked in like a little teenage girl (which I constantly ragged on myself for) and ended up watching most of the second and third seasons as well. So the show was a little unrealistic... For example, when Pacey dates his English teacher and she never gets locked in jail, or the constant coaching that Dawson gives his parents and that other teens seem to give other adults in the show on a regular basis. Most 15/16 year olds don't have it together better than the adults around them. I guess a show needs to be a little unrealistic though, otherwise it wouldn't be telivision. With that aside, the show was amazing! It flawlessly captured certain moments that all teens go through on their journey to adulthood. The excitment and confusion of love, the strong bind between best friends, the times when you know things are changing but you just can't figure it out, it's all here in the first season. Although seasons 1 through 3 were all great, season 1 stood out and captured those moments that can make you smile or make you cry. When I popped this DVD into my player, it brought back memories of being 16 again. It wasn't just because I was watching Dawson and company struggle through adolescence again, it reminded me of where I was in my life when I used to watch this show. If you watched the first season back in 1998 like I did, go get yourself this DVD. You won't be disappointed. I graduated highschool and never got around to watching seasons 4-6, but if they come out on DVD maybe I'll revert back to my girly ways from when I was 16 and soak up the drama.

Summary: Hooked!!!!
Review: The first time I ever watched Dawson's Creek was only a little over 2 months ago. I woke up one morning and my luck Dawson's Creek was just coming on, the 1st episode; I watched it and loved it. Little did I know that everyday on that channel they were airing 4 episodes a day from the 1st episode until this years series finale. I watched every single episode throughout all the 6 seasons over the last couple months and have to say that this is definately the best TV series ever!! I went out and bought the DVD as soon as I found out it was in stores. I am now hooked on this show and am a HUGE fan. I can't believe it is all over, but all I am looking forward to now is for the next 5 seasons to come out on DVD because I will be the first one to buy them all so I can always look back and watch every great episode of this show whenever i feel like it. I would definately recommend this DVD for anyone!! Can't wait for the next season to come out!!

Summary: Start Of The Creek
Review: Dawson's Creek just completed its six-year run on the WB and the first season was recently released on dvd. The show was the creation of Kevin Williamson, who at the time of the show's debut in January, 1998 was riding high thanks to the success of his writing efforts on Scream 1 & 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The show revolved around four teenagers (two boys & two girls) in the fictional Massachusetts town of Capeside. The show's four leads were played by unknowns. James Van Der Beek plays the title role of Dawson Leery, a sensitive film buff, whose dream is to be a big Hollywood director. Katie Holmes is Joey Potter, Dawson's friend since they were five and is innocent, yet hardened because of the death of her mother and her father being incarcerated. Joey begins to realize that she has feelings for Dawson beyond just friendship and the ebbs and flows of their relationship is what the entire run of the series would be based on. Joshua Jackson is Pacey Whitter, Dawson's best friend and lovable screw-up, who creates a potential major controversy by having an affair with one of his teachers. Michelle Williams is Jen Lindley, a bad girl from New York City who is set to Capeside to live with her Grandmother (Mary Beth Peil) who lives next door to Dawson. Jen provides a spark in the group dynamic as Dawson is attracted to her and will take her out which sparks jealousy in Joey. The show is quite different from your average teenage high school drama. The characters dealt with real issues like Dawson's mother's infidelity and the break up of his parent's marriage and the confused feelings of love that all teenagers feel. The characters didn't speak in regular high schooler lingo and were incredibly self-analytical, almost clinical breaking down their emotions. The show is a bit wordy, but the young actors are all fresh and new and bring a charming naivete to their roles. All four lead characters would become instant teen idols and the show's success single handedly saved the floundering WB network which was considering folding until Dawson's Creek exploded with audiences.

Summary: A great start to a great show
Review: I started watching this show when I was 11, so the dialogue was a little beyond me at the time. But I still loved the show anyways. I didnt miss an episode in 6 years. I think that the first season has the best dialogue out of all six seasons. Although, it was also the most controversial, due mostly to the teacher/student relationship between 15 year old Pacey Witter and 36 year old Tamara Jacobs. I just thought that it made the show more interesting. This is the show that made the WB. It quickly got better ratings than another awesome show on at the time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There were even talks of a crossover of some sort between the two shows, but it never happened. I think that the best episode in this season is Detention. It is an obvious rip-off of the Breakfeast Club, and it is put together really well. It delves into Joey's obvious affection towards her best friend Dawson, and I just really love all of their reasons for being in Saturday Detention, Pacey's is the funniest. All in all, I would recommend that you buy this excellent season. You wont regret it.

Summary: I love Dawson's Creek
Review: I did not get to watch Dawson's Creek when it first aired on TV, but I wish I did. This might be the best written television show I have ever seen. Essentially, this is a witty drama about childhood friends who are at the age where they start noticing the opposite sex. Not only did the writers give the characters good material to work with, but I have to admit that Katie Holmes is drop dead gorgeous. But what makes Holmes such a good actress is she can do so much more than just deliver the dialogue. Holmes is so good at facial expressions, biting her lip or looking up with her puppy eyes. Pacey offers some great comical relief. I found myself at times tearing up, only to be laughing a few seconds later. Who wasn't nearly in tears at the end of the pilot, only to burst out laughing at the "Usually in the morning, with Katie Couric" from Dawson. I challange anyone who watches the pilot not to sit down and watch the rest of the season. I would highly reccomend the first season of Dawson's Creek. There is one other more personal reason why I love this show. When I found the show on TBS, I was suffering from depression. This show did something to me, changed me in some way. It broke through and touched my heart. My only complaint is I wish their was a widescreen version, with a picture that utilizes all the resolution DVD's can give. And more extra's. I liked the two 8 minute mini-shows on the disc, but I would have loved an hour with the cast, and a behind the scenes special feature which showed out takes. This is a show that deserves to be in a collectors special edition set.

Summary: A Perfect Season-I'm hooked!
Review: Dawson's Creek is about best friends Dawson (the film buff) and Joey (the witty, wrong-side-of-the-tracks girl) learning how to grow up and finding out what love is. Their lifelong friend Pacey is a wayward slacker who learns a little faster when he begins an affair with an older woman, who also happens to be his teacher. Then, Jen Lindley arrives from NYC with beautiful looks and a shady past to match. Add into the mix two parents whose marriage may not be as perfect as one would think, a religious grandmother dealing with her atheist granddaughter and her dying husband and yu have the compelling first season of Dawson's Creek. Although the creek sort of "ran dry" after the kids went to college, you should definately check this season out. You won't be sorry you did.
