Dawson's Creek - First Season

Pros: Generally good characterizations; some truly inspired episodes.
Cons: The dreaded awkward moment; some episodes seem to be excessively angst-driven

Some people might be embarassed to admit this, but I happen to enjoy the strangely awkward nature of the teen drama. The drama, the relationship conflicts...all the dumb things contained within these programs fascinate me. Most likely, this is the...

Pros: Interesting supporting characters. Great production values.
Cons: Horrible dialogue. Annoying main character.

I have to admit; I have a weakness for high school drama, whether it is a movie or TV show. Cheesy as they may be, there's a certain nostalgic quality that keeps me coming back. When Dawson’s Creek premiered, I actually thought it would be a ...

Pros: Dialogue, Moments of thematic risks, DVD bonuses
Cons: Far too self-aware, Plot is too soap-operatic, Characters are dull, Terrible acting, Overuse of Music

Every now and then, in order to keep myself sharp and attempt to expand my knowledge and experience base, I will sit down and watch something that I am pretty sure I will not like. Usually, I pick something that is very popular, involves Hollywood ...

Pros: Show featuring attractive, intelligent characters and mature storylines; very entertaining for mature adolescents on up
Cons: Picture suffers from overcompression; crappy extras; and friends WILL tease you for buying this!

Background
"Dawson's Creek" is a weekly teen "soap opera" that carries on the tradition of now defunct shows such as "Beverly Hills, 90210". Launched on January 20, 1998 in the post-Buffy time slot, it quickly garnered much press, both...

Pros: Actors, Interesting Storylines, Joey/Dawson romance
Cons: Short season

There was a certain innocence about the first season of Dawson's Creek that I was just drawn to from the start. As the season's wore on, it managed to get more and more watered down from what it once was. So I believe that this was it at its peak. The ...

Pros: Drama, entertaining, great acting and all are well-known actors.
Cons: They act young and immature sometimes. This changed after this season (minus Dawson).

Dawson's Creek is a wonderful show. And although the first season is probably my least favorite, it is still amazing. Realeased in 1998 it is one of the best teen drama shows of all time. It stars James Van Der Beek (as Dawson), Michelle Williams (as ...

Pros: Strong casting, good writing.
Cons: DVD has average picture quality and needs more supplements.

"Dawson's Creek" was one of the shows that launched the WB network, and one of the few that contin ...

Pros: Great writing, acting, story lines and its a different type of teen drama.
Cons: DVD extras are not as plentiful as I would hope.

As the last big teen drama began to end (Beverly Hills, 90210), the world needed another teen drama to restart the flagging genre. This is where Dawson's Creek came in perfectly into the picture. The show was much more real than any other Teen Drama at ...

Pros: All Episodes from Season 1 - DVD Format
Cons: Minor Picture Quality Problems

First of all, when I discovered that Dawson's Creek was coming to an end, the first thought ...

Pros: Full of heart and big giant words
Cons: You might wonder....Who talks like that?

Dawson Leery is a film geek who knows a lot of big words and is never afraid to use them. As you would imagine like most teen television shows the lead character leads a pretty good life. Nice house, parents straight out of central casting, and above ...

Pros: age appropriate
Cons: short lived

when this show hit the screens I was the smae age as the characters I never missed an episode and had to buy the dvd's when they came out loved every one of them great for preteen girls and guys alike.
