Dawson’s Creek is the first TV show that I loved. It was the first show that I was completely devoted to watching every episode as it aired and freaking out about every development. It is a series that meant a lot to me growing up. However, as an adult, I rewatched it and realized that Dawson’s Creek wasn’t the brilliant show I once thought it was. Nevertheless, it’s probably been over a decade since I watched the Dawson’s Creek pilot episode.
Even though it’s been 25+ years since the Dawson’s Creek pilot episode, I still vividly remember the excitement I felt watching it. The ads leading up to the Dawson’s Creek series premiere really sold me on the show. I was glued to the premiere hanging on to every line, every intense look, and every melodramatic moment. I loved it. Because it’s been over two decades since the show’s premiere, I thought it was time to rewatch the Dawson’s Creek pilot episode.
