I’m so upset. I just noticed that my post about the first ever episode of the Babysitters Club tv show is gone. Gone! What happened to it??? This is so distressing. I don’t have it saved anywhere, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to recreate it. 
EDIT: I redid it, less well than I did it the first time. But, redid nonetheless.
Let me just get something straight about Dawson’s Creek. I hate Dawson’s Creek. Hate it. No, seriously. I hate Dawson’s Creek. And you might not think that this is true because when DC used to come on every morning at 10:00 and 11:00, I loved days when I had to stay home sick from work, because I would watch the crap out of the Creek. But, seriously, I hate every single second of it (except for when someone’s yelling at Dawson, punching Dawson in the face, or making Dawson cry) and I yell at the tv, and I kick my feet and hide my face whenever something super embarrassing happens (which is every three seconds), but I have to watch it. Because it has lasting making-fun-of power. Just like Full House, or many a Lifetime movie, or New Amsterdam. So, while I may not be ashamed to say I watch Dawson’s Creek, you will never hear me say that I like it.
But, anyway, of all the many, many, many things to hate about the show (Dawson’s giant head, Dawson’s sense of entitlement, Dawson’s paranoia, Dawson’s misplaced anger, Joey’s half-smirk, Jen’s shuffling, Henry’s everything), one of the consistently bad things through the whole run of the show is the hair. The hair! Oh, my God. It’s so bad. It’s partly because of the time, because just look at the clothes: platform slides abound, ill-fitting sun dresses, those real thick cotton too-short-but-not-intended-to-be-midriff-baring t-shirts, khaki pants upon khaki pants… Ugh. So bad. But, seriously, the hair. What were they thinking? It seems sort of like they were just effing with the whole cast. I mean, that was it, right?
No one was ever really immune from the hair torture coming from the trailers on this show. The only regular characters that came close were Audrey and Mitch. The two of them pretty much had the same hair for the run of the show, except for the time when Audrey got her hair cut to her shoulders. But, her hair wasn’t bad. A little fried sometimes, and a little too bleachy, but overall, not anything to write home about. This was about the worst it ever looked:
And that’s really mostly due to the fact that, a) she’s got horrible makeup on, b) she’s coming out of a coffin (no lie), and c) I was totally over Audrey’s “my boyfriend was too dumb to get into college and lucked into a job that pays him a lot of money that MY DAD GOT FOR HIM and I’m sad because I’m sort of kind of anti-establishment ever since that one fake-British girl asked me to sing in her crappy ‘punk’ band” drama queen routine that everything she did looked crappy. But, honestly, her hair looked fine.
And Mitch, I mean, his hair was sort of painted on with GLH, right? I think that’s what was going on with him. Not a great look, but, honestly, with Mitch? What else are you gonna do?
Sing into your devil ice cream cone and then crash your car is an option.
But, anyway, with those two out of the way, I will now present to you the 20 Worst Hair Offenders in Dawson’s…Creek…History.
