Oh, how we yearn for the simpler days, where teenagers hung down by the creek and engaged in harmless love triangles, before the age of tweets, threesomes and trash TV. Thankfully, ABC's 'Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23' will soon return us to those days, staging (or at least trying to stage) a 'Dawson's Creek' reunion! We know former 'Creek' vet Busy Philipps will drop by to help James Van Der Beek get things underway, but what does the first photo of the special tell us?

A real 'Dawson's Creek' reunion might be a ways off, but for now we're plenty content to see the idea parodied on the Tuesday, October 23 season premiere of 'Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23.' Against the advice of his friends, 'Apartment 23's' heightened iteration of James Van Der Beek will attempt to get the legendary WB reunion under way, recruiting at least one-time star and current 'Cougar Town' player Busy Philipps to help him out.

Also present for the episode will be 'Saved by the Bell' and current 'Franklin & Bash' star Mark Paul Gosselaar, as well as Frankie Muniz of 'Malcolm in the Middle'. Each will offer Van Der Beek their sage-like advice when it comes to parlaying one's fame in youth. What, they couldn't get Joshua Jackson?

Check out the first-look photo of Busy Philipps dropping by the 'Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23' 'Dawson's Creek' reunion below, courtesy of TVGuide, and tell us in the comments if you'll watch!
