Summary: From the beginning...
Review: I just began watching my dvd set, and yeah I'm not done with it yet, but I can remember this season so clearly just from rewatching the first episode.

I related a lot to this show, it came on just in time, right as I became a sophomore in highschool - just like the characters on the show.

It is amazingly entertaining to witness the beginnings of such a landmark series. This show set the standards for all teen dramas to come. If you look at other teen dramas that are out now, you'll see the little things like mixing humor with drama, have a fully entertwined cast of talented actors, relatable issues, focusing on the little things that a teenager can make into such a big thing (ex: first kiss, flirting, crushes, etc).

I am so happy to be able to re-watch this amazing show. This is something the fans definitely should enjoy, and the series only gets better from here!

Summary: Dawson's Creek
Review: I didn't watch this season while it was on Warner Brothers Television,I started watching it while it was on TBS and I fell in love with it.The moment I saw this d.v.d. at Wal-Mart I didn't care how much it was I had to buy it!I loved it.I have 1-3 and am saving up for Season 4 although Wal-Mart keeps selling out of them!I love this show and any teenager can relate to this show because I'm so much like Dawson!I have 3 friends who are very similar to Joey,Pacey,and Pacey.So I just love this show.& some people think it's just about sex.Well guess what?It's not.It's about weak knees and sweaty palms!It's about is Dawon ever going to kiss Joey?yes that's what it's about.I think anyone can like this show no matter who they are they'll love it!

Summary: The Beginning of the End, In My Opinion Anyway
Review: All of what I'm about to say is based on my own opinion...nothing more, nothing less. Having said that and having seen seasons 1-5 (I didn't even bother with season 6), I have to say that I thought that the first season had the best storylines. It also had a child-like innocence that just wasn't evident in the season prior. Okay, I realize that these teens have to grow up, but that's what gave the show it's originality. I haven't seen a show on like this before and haven't seen one since.

The show is centered around four teenagers: Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen who live in town of Capeside. Dawson is the main character and is teen who's daydream/fantasy world overrides his perception of what is real and what isn't. Then there Joey, who is the tomboy of the crew and Dawson's childhood friend. She is incredibly cynical and has feelings for Dawson. Joey, unlike Dawson, has a firm grasp of reality. The loser of the gang is Pacey. His quick wit and fancy for making wise cracks puts him in the position of class clown. He is, as his brother has said "A town joke. A punchline that nobody's going to laugh at." Last, but not least, there is the city slicker, Jen. She is the outsider and becomes Dawson's love interest and eventually his right-hand gal. Since she is the outsider of this bunch, she is constantly trying to become friends with everyone that Dawson is friends with.

All in all, this was hands down the best written season of the series. Don't get me wrong I liked season two and three, but I felt the addition of brother and sister duo, Jack and Andy, were too much to deal with, especially considering that just Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen were already too complicated. Here's an analogy for you that explains it better than I can: it's like going to buy a cell phone, which is no easy task in itself, and finding out when you get there that there are more than 25 different choices in cell phones and 16 different plans you have to choose from.

In closing, the way these four teens with problems interacted with each other is what made this first season so great. People may like season two or other seasons better, but you will never have this kind of interaction between the original four. For that reason, I'll always like this season better than the others.

Summary: Best Show Ever
Review: Let me just tell you i stayed up all night watching the whole season...best show in the world

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Well first off I'd like to say, I didn't watch this either when it first aired, but I wish I had, it's such a great show, and most of them either made me wish I was there in CapeSide, or cry like "The Kiss" and "The Beauty Pageant" , the stereotypical love-trianlge but with a twist, and most of the things that happen to Miss Potter, Miss Lindley Mr Witter and Mr Leary are things that have happened to me, or my friends, it's really trippy, and after i saw the first episode when it was re-running this past spring (when i finally got to sit down and watch it) On TBS, I knew it was gonna be my favorite show, I believe the first one I saw was either the one where Dawson is trying to get jen back and goes to the carnival with Mary-beth and double dates with Jen and cliff, while joey and pacey go looking for snails, or the one where they all see that weird guy at the conveience store then go to Jen's place where he ends up trying to scare everyone like he always does.

But I don't own this DVD, I watched it at my friends place the first 5-10 episodes and they were great, and I wish I had a credit card so i could get it on here, but since I've seen it, i thought I'd write a review about it, cause it was just too great, wish I had seen them all though, i only saw the first 5-10 episodes on season 2-3 I haven't seen anything before the carnival/snails episode, and REALLY want to :(

anyways, it's a great DVD and if you're thinking of a Great christmas gift, or just something that's great for watching pleasure get this, cause you'll regret it if ya don't (I do LOL)

Summary: The first tv show to really depict teen life
Review: Dawson's Creek fans will delight in the thrills of the first season of this great show - the first time I really watched a teen show and felt like it hadn't been written by adults who thought they were accurately depicting teenagers. The hip soundtrack adds to the appeal - who will ever hear "I Don't Want To Wait" again and NOT think of Dawson and Joey? From Dawson's angst to Pacey's Hot For Teacher Affair, it's all here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST SHOW EVER!
Review: when dawson's creek originally i didnt watch a single episode of it, but then the summer after the show's finale i was looking for a show to watch and there was absolutely nothing on. so i looked at the tv guide and the only show i had even heard of was dawson's creek, so i decided to turn it on. i was instantly mesmorized by the characters' wit and plotline. every day i would watch the two episodes airing that day and i found myself thoroughly enjoying every moment of the show.

so then i went out and bought season 1 on dvd, and it is amazing! kevin williamson is an incredibly talented writer and the cast really brings the best out of the script. there is not a single episode in this season that i dont enjoy. even the extras are fabulous; they have interviews with kevin williamson (the creator and writer of the first 2 seasons), paul stupin (the producer), james van der beek (dawson), katie holmes (joey), joshua jackson (pacey), and michelle williams (jen). i would recommend this dvd set to anyone over the age of 12. . .even my parents enjoy this show!!!

Rating: 5 stars
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.
