Few shows particularly teen shows have managed to capture that essence on screen.

Dawsons Creek, Guess Whos Coming to Dinner?

On the other hand,Dawsons Creekremains one of my favorite shows of all time.

It also features a solid use of Alanis Morissettes That I Would Be Good.

Sally Draper is the greatest television character of the 21st century.

TheirOdd Coupleshtick is one of the comedic highlights of the series.

Also, Pangs was a crossover event withAngel, which really boosted that shows opening season.

The script calls for Dean to take his shirt off, but Dean waffles.

I can keep this bottled up, Stew tells her.

Youd be amazed at the things I can keep bottled up!

I was with you until the end there.

I feel like I have my dignity, says Stew.

Nope, he owns it, Dean tells him.

(Hes a little upset Yao neglected to lock the door.)

We lived the rock and roll lifestyle.

Things were different back then, Dean Sr. explains.

It was five years ago, Dad!

Rock and roll never dies, Dean Sr. tells him.

Meanwhile, in flashback, Dean attempts to keep his dignity, and his shirt.

Do you want to come into more scenes already shirtless?

Bemis reneges pretty much immediately, and Dean goes to the beach to sort out his thoughts.

Hes visited by a magical surfing creature named Timothy Olyphant.

They used a shirtless take without consulting me, Dean tells him.

They always do, Olyphant replies.

The Big Easy just got hard, Olyphant says.

Yes it did, Grinder.
