| Dawson's Creek was an American television soap opera aimed at teenagers that aired from 1998 to 2003. The show was set in a small Massachusetts town and focused on four friends who began their sophomore year of high school as the show began. It was part of a craze for teen-themed movies and television shows in America in the late 1990s.
Dawson's Creek Trivia:
- The only character to appear in every one of the 128 episodes was Joey Potter (Katie Holmes).
- The Ice House restaurant burned at the end of the second season because the owners of the location used for filming did not wish to continue their association with the show—thus the building was written out of the program.
- Actress Meredith Monroe (Andie McPhee) shot scenes to be used in the series finale but they were not used because of time constraints.
- David Dukes, who died in 2000, last appeared in the fourth season episode "You Had Me At Good Bye", which saw the departure of Andie. The episode concluded with a title card "In Loving Memory. David Dukes, 1945-2000".
- A large number of episode titles were also those of films, e.g. "The Longest Day", "Hotel New Hampshire". Many were allusions to William Shakespeare, e.g. the finale, "All Good Things . . . Must Come to an End", "Two Gentlemen of Capeside".
- There was an incredible spike in the popularity of the name "Dawson" after the show premiered. According to the Social Security Administration, the name was the 744th most popular boys name in 1997 but lept to 198th in 1998 and 136th in 1999. It has since dropped to 204th in 2003.
