** Joshua's pet dog Shumba.

** Dawson’s Creek is the WB network’s highest rated show ever.

** Katie had to sit still for about two hours-three different times-while rubber was poured on her face to make the "Joey mask" on which Dawson practices his kissing.

** On the set, the actors sit in chairs with their characters’ names on them not their own names to lessen the likelihood of fans stealing the canvas backs.

** On the cast trailers are not their own names but the names of Brady Bunch characters.

** In the original presentation video shown to the WB, both Joey AND Dawson saw his mom kiss Bob the anchorman. The scene was shot six different ways, and for a long time they were struggling between the Joey-and-Dawson shot or the just Joey shot, which they chose in the end.

** In "The Breakfast Club", Jen and Pacey are supposed to kiss for 10 seconds, but they actually kiss for 15 seconds. Joey and Dawson are supposed to kiss for 15 seconds but they actually kiss for 26 seconds.

** When Pacey and Andie are sitting on the bench in the city, they are surrounded by rollerbladers, and one of them falls on their butt in the background!

** In "Tamara's Return":When Tamara and Pacey are talking in front of her house, there is a man swimming in the water behind them and he keeps popping up in between their faces

** In "Full Moon Rising" Pacey asks Andie to go to a movie at the Rialto. But, in the Season Premiere, it clearly states that the movie theater is being shut down for a while. Dawson and Joey even have their first official date on closing night.

** In "Rest In Peace": Andie and Jen are wearing the same dress at the funeral.

** In "Alternative Lifestyles," "The Election," and "Rest in Peace" Andie or Joey are wearing the same sweater tank top outfit. It is grey with flower on the tank top.

** The first was in "High Risk Behavior" when they did the famous nude portrait scene in reverse (Joey drew Jack naked). Second in "Be Careful What You Wish For" has a spoof of the sex scene in the car with Jen and Ty as the culprits (windows of Dawson's brand new Ford Explorer are fogged and suddenly Jen slams her hand on the steamy window and sort of slides it down, leaving a smear).

**A "Scream" connection: The Rialto theater that everyone goes to is the same theater where Jada Pinkett and her boyfriend went in the opening of "Scream 2."

** Another "Scream" connection: Mr. Gold (Dawson's film teacher) is also the name of Neve Campbell's drama teacher in "Scream 2."
