"  James Van Der Beek has suggested that Dawson&amp;#039;s Creek started to lose its quality as early as season two. The actor, who played Dawson Leery on the six-season teen drama, took to Reddit on Monday to promote his new CBS sitcom Friends with Better Lives and was asked by one user when he thought Dawson&amp;#039;s Creek had &amp;quot;jumped the shark.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;When I had to convince Katie [Holmes]&amp;#039;s character to wear a wire to snitch on her drug dealing dad because a molotov cocktail had been thrown through a window, I remember thinking, &amp;#039;What show am I on again?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Van Der Beek said. This storyline was the plot for the finale of season two. The actor, however, added that he didn&amp;#039;t think the show then went on a downward spiral. &amp;quot;But then we crossed back over and got back to more relationship stuff,&amp;quot; he clarified. &amp;quot;Six head writers in six years will take you all over the map.&amp;quot; Van Der Beek was also asked if he had ever been freaked out by an overzealous fan. &amp;quot;Craziest fan story... Hmm... I remember a woman following me out of the grocery store, wiping dirt off my car, holding up her hand and saying, &amp;#039;I will take this home to my children,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;That felt outside the realm of normal adult behavior to me...&amp;quot; Photo credit: FilmMagic Via Digital Spy "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
