About This Quiz

Did you spend your teen years obsessing over the love triangle between Dawson, Pacey, and Joey? Remember which character got hot and heavy with a teacher? And do you know what Dawson's secret passion is -- other than the girl next door? If you know the answers to these questions, you might have what it takes to ace our "Dawson's Creek" quiz!

The mid-90s was the start of a teen-centric media craze that dominated film and television. At the movies, teens turned up to see classics like "Clueless," "She's All That," "American Pie," and "Can't Hardly Wait." On the small screen, "My So-Called Life," "Party of Five," "Buffy," and "90210" dominated the ratings.Â

It was during this teen pop culture era that "Dawson's Creek" premiered on The WB in 1998. Set in the small coastal community of Capeside, the show had all the drama and angst that teens were looking for; mature discussions of sex, alcoholism and drug use, homosexuality, and the scandalous revelation that Dawson's parents were enjoying an open marriage. The show is also remembered for presenting the first prime-time male-on-male kiss ever seen on television in a 2000 episode titled "True Love."
