Dawson's Sqeak

The TV series Dawson's Creek first aired when I was 14 years old.  Everyone in school was absolutely going "crazy" over it.  They often discussed the happenings of the previous episodes right  before class started.  I never understood what the ruckus was all about.  I have tried watching an episode or two and could not understand the dialogue.  I really couldn't make heads or tails of it.  They used highfalutin words that seemed so abnormal and inconsistent to their characters that inspired the kind of annoyance I reserved for traffic jams.  Why couldn't they have just talked normal--as in like normal teenagers battling through and completely failing in the face of hormonal turmoil?  But then again, if they did, then they'd not be so special, would they?
