Somewhere, Michigan J. Frog is dubba-dubba-doubly happy.
Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer—the crown jewels of the WB—are coming to the late, great netlet's modern-day equivalent, ABC Family, five days a week. Starting on June 29 at 12/11c and 5/4c ET, respectively, Creek freaks and Buffyverse devotees can begin their re-watches right from the shows' pilots with an episode every weekday and load up on all sorts of early James Van der Beek, Josh Jackson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and David Boreanaz, as well as all the guest stars and celebs-to-be we met along their runs.
This is great news as far as Buffy is concerned. I have all the sets but this way I don't have to mess with them and I can watch one a day if I'm around.
