Back in May 2000, Dawson’s Creek took an important risk during its season 3 finale. Actors Kerr Smith and Adam Kaufman shared the first-ever loving kiss between two men on primetime television. It took a lot of work to get there: “A day before filming, the WB asked if the scene could be shot from across the street. They didn’t want it to be ‘too passionate,’ ” says Dare Me showrunner Gina Fattore, who cowrote the episode.
