Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released all six seasons of Dawson’s Creek on DVD between 2003 and 2006.
[1][2] A standalone Region 1 DVD of the series finale which features an extended cut was released in 2003.
[11] The show's final episode features a video montage made by Dawson which includes footage seen in the original credits sequence, and is soundtracked by "Hand in My Pocket".
[10] Starting with season 3, "I Don't Want To Wait" (the series opening theme song) was also dropped from the DVD releases, to be replaced by Jann Arden's "Run Like Mad"[9] (including Adam Field's piano version of Cole's song used in 5.04 "The Long Goodbye"); however, "I Don't Want To Wait" was still featured when played using non-English language, plus, none of the songs used in the finale were altered on the DVD (including "I Don't Want to Wait").
Due to these copyright issues, several scenes in episodes from the fifth and sixth seasons were altered or completely deleted.
