Did you know? Dawson Creek's iconic theme song "I Don't Want to Wait" hasn't been on the series' DVDs or on the re-runs on Netflix - until now. It was replaced by Jann Arden’s Run Like Mad for years because of rights issues. Now it's back, with a re-recorded version by the song's original songstress Paula Cole. Crazy that it happened in the first place. The song WAS the show.
