Dawson's Creek is an hour-long American television drama
aimed at and mostly about teenagers, which aired from
1998 to 2003. The show is semi-autobiographical, based
on the small-town childhood of creator Kevin Williamson,
writer of the slasher film Scream: Dawson Leery, the lead
character, shares Williamson's interests and background.
The show was set in a small Massachusetts seaside town
and focused on four friends who began their sophomore
year of high school as the show began. 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 its network, The WB.
