Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who are the first characters we see in the pilot episode of "Dawson's Creek?"

Answer: Joey and Dawson

Dawson and Joey are lying on the bed watching "ET- The Extra Terrestrial." The producers did a great job of showing us the real Dawson and Joey in that first scene.

2. What is the name of the actor who played Dawson's father Mitch on the first episode of "Dawson's Creek?"

Answer: John Wesley Shipp

John Wesley Shipp played Mitch Leery in seasons one through five. Prior to "Dawson's Creek," Shipp gained success as a daytime soap star by appearing on such soaps as "The Guiding Light", "Santa Barbara" and "All My Children."

3. Which character is not featured in the first episode of "Dawson's Creek?"

Abby Morgan isn't introduced until later in the season in the episode "Detention."

4. Which of these is not the name of one of the movies that Dawson rents to research for the movie that he is making?

Answer: "Jaws"

Dawson is making a movie entitled "Sea Creature From the Deep." He gets these films to research because he hits a roadblock with the production of his film. Although Dawoson loves Speilberg, "Jaws" is not one of his research films.

5. The actor who played Bodie was changed after the first episode.

Answer: True

George Gaffney played Bessie's black boyfriend Bodie in the pilot. After that, when we see him, it is a different guy namd Obi Ndefo.

6. What is the name of the video store where Dawson and Pacey work?

Answer: Screen Play Video

Screen Play Video is the name of the video store owned by Nellie Olsen's father. Dawson and Pacey worked here in the first three seasons.

7. What is the name of the movie that the gang sees while at the Rialto in the first episode?

Answer: Waiting For Guffman

"Waiting for Guffman" is a 1996 movie about a city that is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The citizens of the city decide to put on a talent show. The only problem is nobody has any talent. Sounds to me like the gang got their money's worth.

8. Joey and Jen share a class together in school.

Answer: true

They both have Mr. Rinson for Biology. This gives them a chance to get to know each other. When Jen walks into the classroom, Joey slides down in her chair hoping that Jen doesn't see her.

9. What movie is Mr. Gold watching when Dawson enters his classroom?

Answer: Psycho

Dawson notices this when he walks in and uses it as a conversation starter with Mr. Gold.

10. When we first see the school sign in the opening scene at school, it reads Capeside High School Home of the _______.

Answer: Wildcats

This is on the sign in front of the school. However, just seconds later you see another sign that says Home of the Minutemen. Also inside the school is a banner that says Go Wildcats Go! I wonder if the producers realized this when they made the show.
