The show

Aimed at a teenaged audience, the show is semi-autobiographical, being based on the small-town childhood of its creator Kevin Williamson (who also wrote the slasher film Scream). An autobiography, from the Greek αὐτός autos "self" βίος bios "life" and γράφειν graphein "to write" Kevin Meade Williamson (born March 14 1965) is an American screenwriter known for his screen works of Scream, I Know What The slasher film (sometimes referred to as bodycount films and dead teenager movies) is a Sub-genre Scream is a 1996 film directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson. The lead character, Dawson Leery, shares Williamson's interests and background. Dawson Wade Leery is the fictional lead character on an American Primetime Television Drama called "Dawson's Creek" Filmed in Wilmington and Durham, North Carolina, the show was set in a small fictional seaside town called Capeside, Massachusetts and focused on four friends who were in the early part of their Sophomore year of high school when the series began. Wilmington is a city in and the County seat of New Hanover County, North Carolina, United States. Durham is a city in the US state of North Carolina. It is the County seat of Durham County Dawson's Creek was an American Primetime Television Drama which initially aired from January 20, 1998 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ( is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States. High school is the name used in some parts of the world (in particular Scotland, North America and Australia) to describe an institution The program, part of a craze for teen-themed movies and television shows in America in the late 1990s, made stars of its leads and was a defining show for The WB. Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times declared in 2005 that "The WB is turning out to be the television equivalent of the United Nations" and that "Dawson's Creek was its Dag Hammarskjöld: It was the first series bold enough to pick up the mantle of Beverly Hills, 90210 and an inspiration for many variations on the teenage angst theme, including One Tree Hill on The CW.

Dawson's Creek generated a high amount of publicity before its debut, with several television critics and watchdog groups expressing concerns about its anticipated "racy" plots and dialogue; the controversy even drove one of the original production companies away from the project, but numerous critics praised it for its realism and intelligent dialogue that included allusions to American television icons such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The word critic comes from the Greek el κριτικός ( el-Latn kritikós) "able to discern" which in turn derives from the word Consumer organizations are Advocacy groups that seek to protect people from Corporate abuse. The Dick Van Dyke Show is an American television Situation comedy which initially aired on CBS from October 3, 1961 to The Mary Tyler Moore Show is an American Television sitcom created by James L By the end of its run, the show, its crew, and its young cast had been nominated for numerous awards, winning four of them. The series is known for the verbosity and complexity of the dialogue between its teenaged characters—who commonly demonstrate vocabulary and cultural awareness that went beyond the scope of the average high school student, yet that is combined with an emotional immaturity and self-absorption reflecting actual teens. This precociousness has been a staple of a number of teenaged-themed shows since, notably including The O.C., Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl

Guiding Light (known as The Guiding Light prior to 1975 or simply GL) is an Emmy award winning American Television The company, however, sold its interest in the show three months before the premiere when printed stories surfaced about the racy dialogue and risqué plot lines. John Kieswetter, television columnist for The Enquirer wrote: "As much as I want to love the show—the cool kids, charming New England setting, and stunning cinematography—I can't get past the consuming preoccupation with sex, sex, sex".

Then the title and credits come on and the story begins". Tom Shales, of The Washington Post commented that creator Kevin Williamson was "the most overrated wunderkind in Hollywood" and "what he's brilliant at is pandering. Tom Shales (born November 3, 1944) is an American critic of television programming and operations The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D " In his defense, Williamson denied this was his intention, stating that "I never set out to make something provocative and racy".

The Parents Television Council proclaimed the show the single worst program of the 1997-1998 season, a title the Council would also award it for the 1998-1999 season. The Parents Television Council (PTC is a US -based nonprofit organization founded by conservative activist L The Council also cited it the fourth worst show in 2000-2001. However, on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum, the National Organization for Women offered an endorsement, deeming it one of the least sexually exploitive shows on the air. The National Organization for Women ( NOW) is the largest American Feminist organization For every scathing review there was a glowing one: Variety wrote that it was "an addictive drama with considerable heart…the teenage equivalent of a Woody Allen movie—a kind of 'Deconstructing Puberty. Variety is a weekly entertainment trade newspaper founded in New York in 1905 by Sime Silverman Woody Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; December 1 1935 is an American Film director, Writer, Actor, Comedian, and '" The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called it "a teen's dream.

Peyton Place is an American primetime Drama serial which aired on ABC in half-hour episodes from September 15 " That was precisely the sort of allusion real teenagers weren't likely to get, let alone make, but the show's punchy dialogue was full of them. Dawson calls his mother's co-anchor "Ted Baxter" and refers to his parents as "Rob and Laura Petrie. Ted Baxter was a fictional character on the Sitcom Mary Tyler Moore.

Michelle Ingrid Williams (born September 9 1980 is an Academy Award -nominated American actress.

While never a huge ratings success among the general television population, Dawson's Creek did very well with the younger demographic it targeted and became a defining show for the WB Network. (The first season's highest ranked episode was the finale, which was fifty-ninth, while the highest rated was the second episode, scoring so well only because there was no programming on the other networks, which were carrying President Clinton's State of the Union address in the midst of the Lewinsky scandal. William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19 1946 served as the forty-second President of the United States Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973) is an American woman with whom then- United States President Bill Clinton admitted to )

Bibliography and references

Darren Crosdale's Dawson's Creek: The Official Companion (Kansas City, Missouri: Andrews McMeel, 1999) (ISBN 0-7407-0725-6), thoroughly chronicles the show, but only covers events through to the end of the second season. Jesús Salvador Treviño (born 26 March 1946 in El Paso Texas, USA) is an American television director Michael Toshiyuki Uno is a film and Television director, credited with directing Television programs such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents James Whitmore Jr (born October 24, 1948 in New York City, US Scott Andrews' Troubled Waters: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide To Dawson's Creek (Virgin Publishing 2001 (ISBN 0-7535-0625-4)) also covers the series thoroughly but it includes all episodes up to the end of Season Four and, because it is unofficial, is freer with both criticism and praise. A less thorough book from about the same time, aimed at teens, is Meet the Stars of Dawson's Creek by Grace Catalano, which has more about the show than the title would imply. Andy Mangels's From Scream to Dawson's Creek: An Unauthorized Take on the Phenomenal Career of Kevin Williamson (Los Angeles: Renaissance Books, 2000) (ISBN 1-58063-122-3) covers the show well but omits later seasons.
