ANYBODY
FILL ME IN, IS THIS A GOOD SHOW, IF YOU ARE AN OTH FANATIC, IS IT ALMOST AS GOOD AS IT? AND IF YOU ARE OBCESSED WITH OTH AND THE OC, IS IT ALMOST AS GOOD AS THEM BOTH??????
It is better than that! It was the best!
Best show in the world better than gossip girl the o.c and one tree hill
p.s Pacey Witter is hot
This show was truly amazing, it definitely left a lasting impression on me
ditto the p.s : Pacey Witter is Bangin’
just saying 🙂
My all-time favourite Teen Drama!!! I measure any Teen Drama shows I see up against it! I cried like never before and smiled like a crazy person…I even got my dad hooked! Pacey Witter is the GREATEST side-kick ever! Seth Cohen is close 2nd lol
dawson’s creek is the daddy of all teen dramas. OTH was my replacement for it once it was gone… loved CMM as Charlie.
as for melissa’s comment about pacey witter being the greatest sidekick… I guess that’s true. but dawson’s creek was 20000X better once he became less of a sidekick and got the girl!! I ❤ pacey!!
great great great show.
but oth is better;)
dawsons creek the queeen of all teen dramas, all the orginal and good plots.
i love dc!
Dawson’s Creek is amazing, it changed my life.
It’s different from One Tree Hill, and the first season is a little bit cheesy,
but it has the best bones and the best plot of any teen drama, and i’ve seen them all 🙂
Dawson’s creek airs in syndication on TBS at some ungodly hour. 3 or 4am i think.. i see it on TV from time to time.
This show is so much better than the average teen drama. Better than OTH (and I love OTH). It’s a wonderful coming-of-age story – they need to start airing the reruns again.
This show was my gateway drug to teen dramas. I caught it on syndication after Saved By the Bell one morning and fell in love.

I have a special place in my heart for this show! Still best teen drama! So many long words and soul searching! And emotion and tears, plus visually it was beautiful! I totally agree with other comments, I grew up with this so it really influenced my teen yrs, probably still feeling the effects. Still watch the boxsets.love the first 3 seasons especially. I liked that it wasn’t obessed with fashion, can’t think of another teen show that wasn’t. The oc was fun at the start but I never got v emotional and I thought it burnt out quick. Gossip girl, 90210 are boring and shallow (prefer beverly hills 90210 or vampire diaries). Dc fan forever.(Love..all of them)
i’ve watched this show for 110 hours while completely my studies on the composition of the human body
