Dawson's Creek, The O.C., and Everwood

Three of my all-time favorite shows are Dawson's Creek, The O.C., and Everwood. I have this lovely theory that like 99% of television shows ever can relate back to one of the three (okay not EVER and not 99%, but you get the picture). There's this fun game lately where whenever I'm watching a TV show and an actor or actress from one of those old shows is on another show I yell out whatever show they're from (like last night on Glee, Sarah Drew from Everwood was on and I yelled "EVERWOOD"). Pretty sure I look like a dork. Anyway.... here's a little break down...

Treat Williams (Everwood's Dr. Andy Brown) was on Brothers & Sisters. Emily VanCamp (Everwood's Amy Abbott) is now currently on Brothers & Sisters. The wonderful Chris Pratt (Everwood's Bright Abbott) was not only on The O.C. (he played Che), but he is now currently on the show Parks & Recreation. Scott Wolf (Everwood's Jake Hartman) is now on the show V. Sarah Drew (Hannah Rogers on Everwood) was on last night's episode of Glee... oh and she's also the second cousin of Ben McKenzie (who was on The O.C., but we will get to that in a minute).  Tom Amandes (Everwood's Dr. Harold Abbott) was on a few episodes of the newly canceled Eastwick (also guest starred on Private Practice and Greek).  Marcia Cross played Linda Abbott (Dr. Brown's love interest) on Everwood and is now on Desperate Housewives.  Brenda Strong also played Dr. Brown's deceased wife Julia on Everwood and is on Desperate Housewives as the voice of Mary Alice.  Nora Zehetner (Layne on Everwood) was on both Heroes and Grey's Anatomy.  Dylan Walsh (Carl Feeny on Everwood) is now on Nip/Tuck (as is Kelly Carlson who guest starred on Everwood... she's also been on Melrose Place).  James Earl Jones (Will Cleveland on Everwood) is epic and you know he's been in like everything (recently he guest starred on House).

Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood on The O.C.) is on the show Southland (which recently was given the axe). Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts on The O.C.) was on Chuck for a few episodes (and Sarah Lancaster who played Ephram's baby mama Madison on Everwood is a main character on the show). Autumn Reeser (The O.C.'s Taylor Townsend) was on a few episodes of Entourage. Samaire Armstrong who played Anna on The O.C. also was on some episodes of Entourage. Olivia Wilde (The O.C.'s Alex Kelly) currently plays Thirteen on House. Amanda Righetti (Hailey Nichol on The O.C.) is on The Mentalist. Shailene Woodley (who played the first Kaitlin Cooper on The O.C.) is on the show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Nicholas Gonzalez (who was Marissa's fling D.J. on The O.C.) is currently playing Detective Rodriguez on Melrose Place. Eric Mabius (who played Dean Hess on a few episodes of The O.C.) is now on Ugly Betty as Daniel Meade.

Joshua Jackson (Pacey Witter on Dawson's Creek) now stars on the show Fringe. Meredith Monroe (Andie McPhee on Dawson's Creek) has been on Criminal Minds for some episodes. Busy Philipps (Audrey on Dawson's Creek) is one of the stars of Cougar Town (she also guest starred on Entourage for one episode). Oliver Hudson (Eddie on Dawson's Creek) is on Rules of Engagement. Chad Michael Murray (Dawson Creek's Charlie) is on One Tree Hill. Jensen Ackles (C.J on Dawson's Creek) is now on Supernatural.  Bianca Lawson (Nikki on Dawson's Creek) has been on The Secret Life of the American Teenager and The Vampire Diaries.  Brittany Daniel (Eve Whitman on Dawson's Creek) is on The Game which just got picked up for a new season on BET.  Taylor Handley played Patrick on Dawson's Creek and was also on The O.C. as Oliver. 

Now do you see why everyone that's been on these three shows is now on like EVERY TV show out there?
