"Dawson's Creek" is a fresh, bold show. It doesn't soften up teenage life the way some shows in the past have. Sure, "90210" was here first and sure, "Party of Five" has a couple years on it, but "Dawson's Creek" is far more original in its dialogue than those other programs. (Then again, what are you to expect from Kevin Williamson?)
When is Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek) going to stop whining? When is Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) going to stop complaining? When is Jen Lindsay (Michelle Williams) going to get her act together? And when is somebody going to give Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) a swift kick in the teeth?
Is this show sometimes annoying? Sure. Is its success overrated? NO WAY! It's all the whining and complaining and sluttiness and glib remarks that make the show what it is. "Creek" is not for everybody. It's for light-hearted teens who don't mind getting a little advice from TV's most popular smart-asses.
