The Complete Sixth Season DVD

Dawson's Creek sixth season started on October 2nd, 2002 and ended May 14th, 2003 with a 2-hour-special series finale. This season takes place on the characters' sophomore year of college while the series finale takes place 5 years after the last episode.

The Complete Sixth Season DVD was released on April 4th, 2006 including all the 24 episodes while the series finale was released on September 30th, 2003 including the 2-hour-special and special features. The version included on the Series Finale DVD was included on the season boxset.

Since the final episode released on the DVD Series Finale includes all the original songs featured on the actual airing, it also remained untouched for the version included on the season boxset (Including the original theme song "I Don't Want To Wait" just for the two-part episode).

As has been the case with releases of earlier seasons, the Season 6 DVD set contains replacement songs from what was heard during the actual broadcast airings:

  • "As I Lay Me Down", which was heard 3 times in the first couple of episodes, was replaced. It is the song that Joey was waiting for to play on the jukebox and eventually danced with Dawson.
  • In episode #605, Busy Phillips' rendition of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is replaced with an audio track of her song "Bad Times" which was seen/heard in episode #612.
  • In episode #612, the scene with Busy Phillips' rendition of "Love Is All Around" was deleted.
  • In episode #608, all of No Doubt's songs from the concert appearance remain intact.
  • The original theme song "I Don't Want To Wait" (Paula Cole) has been replaced with "Run Like Mad" by Jann Arden. "Run Like Mad" was the song heard during the opening credits of the original Season 1 international airings.

[edit] Season Trivia

  • Season 6 continues to show changes in the series that started at the fifth season: Joey becomes a central character, perfectly shown at the season premier when the recap of what happened in the summer is given by Joey. Also, Dawson does not appear in several episodes as well as the other castmembers, except for Joey.
  • Kerr Smith and Joshua Jackson directed an episode each one, the first time a cast member directed in the show.
  • Episode "Joey Potter And The Capeside Redemption" originally was meant to be the season finale leading a Seventh Season when suddenly producers decided to end the show and the network cancelled it making a 2-hour-finale episode.
