Dawson's Creek (Season 4) DVD Review

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010

A smashing success for the ever-surprising WB network, Dawson's Creek is just one of a number of original hit series cranked out by WB executives in the past several years. Joining shows like Angel (1999), Gilmore Girls (2000), and Smallville (2001), Dawson's Creek is the brainchild of writer Kevin Williamson who, it is said, modeled the show's characters to reflect his own childhood relationships. Set in the non-existent town of Capeside, Massachusetts, the series follows the lives of teenagers Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), Josephine "Joey" Potter (Katie Holmes), Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), Jennifer "Jen" Lindley (Michelle Williams), Andrea "Andie" McPhee (Meredith Monroe), and Jack McPhee (Kerr Smith). Together, they form the nucleus of one of the most successful teen dramas in history?

The Dawson's Creek (Season 4) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere "Coming Home" in which Pacey and Joey return from their summer vacation together. Now, they must deal with Dawson's hurt feelings over their being a couple now. Meanwhile, Pacey becomes homeless when his sister moves in with Doug, prompting Pacey to ask if he can stay at Joey's? Other notable episodes from Season 4 include "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" in which Pacey accompanies Joey to an orientation for prospective Worthington College students only to be singled out by the dean - much to Joey's dismay, and "Admissions" in which Dawson, Joey, Jen, and Jack all struggle over the college admissions process while deciding what school to attend?
