Nominated for 12 Teen Choice Awards in its five-year (six season) run, including Best Drama Series, Dawson's Creek quickly built an extensive cult following. A surprise smash hit for the enterprising WB network, the show initiated a successful string of numerous original series for WB such as Angel (1999), Gilmore Girls (2000), and Smallville (2001). Set in the fictional township of Capeside, Massachusetts, the series was nonetheless filmed almost entirely on location in Wilmington, North Carolina (although the opening theme song, "I Don't Want To Wait," is written and performed by Massachusetts native Paula Cole). Creator Kevin Williamson (writer for the blockbuster movie Scream) is said to have modeled the characters on Dawson's Creek after various aspects of his own self from his adolescent years Dawson's Creek follows the lives of several teenagers, some of whom grew up together, as they struggle through the tempestuous and volatile years of pre-adulthood. The title character is Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), an introspective and intelligent dreamer who lives nearby lifelong best friend Josephine "Joey" Potter (Katie Holmes), a tomboy unaware of how truly beautiful she is. Mutual friend Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) is part of their clique, as are newcomers Jennifer "Jen" Lindley (Michelle Williams), Andrea "Andie" McPhee (Meredith Monroe), and Jack McPhee (Kerr Smith). Together, the friends form the basis of a teen soap opera, complete with high drama, curiosity, and bits of comic relief. Know for its intelligent subject matter, clever dialogue, and no-holds-barred tackling of issues, Dawson's Creek made most of its cast overnight celebrities The Dawson's Creek (Season 3) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere "Like a Virgin" in which Dawson returns home following a protracted summer spent with his mother in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Joey realizes she's still upset with Dawson over their unexpected breakup when she sees him once again, and Pacey tries to overcome his loneliness following a summer without Andie Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" in which Jen's mom unexpectedly arrives for Thanksgiving dinner, prompting Dawson to try to reconcile their family, and "Crime and Punishment" in which Joey paints a school mural that ends up being defaced while Jen comes clean about her extra edge when she scores among the best in the nation on the PSAT Below is a list of episodes included on the Dawson's Creek (Season 3) DVD: Episode 36 (Like a Virgin) Air Date: 09-29-1999
