Normally, this wouldn't last long on the board, but as we're in an abnormal state, we can perhaps let this stand as significant news. Don't get used to such things, of course, as we are still really in a "not-OT" state where this would - normally - not be allowed. I say that, of course, knowing that fans of certain shows do have a special informal deal with the mods (Game Of Thrones, for example), most of which are on during basketball season, it seems.

Funny story. A friend of mine from the MMB lived in Las Vegas for a time, and the dwarf guy apparently lived in her building.

I place the pilot as one of the top 10 tv episodes in history.

Without a doubt.
If you can track down the DVD box or the new Blu-Ray set that just came out, after you've seen the entire series, go back and watch the European version of the pilot. It's edited as a TV movie, and adds a different ending that ties up the murder in a somewhat different and totally freaky way.
Really, I could go on for days about Twin Peaks. Easily my favorite TV show.

Twin Peaks was an event. It was so popular that Northern Exposure actually spoofed the competing show on one of its own episodes.
The genius behind the show was also its problem: David Lynch. It jumped the shark (to borrow a 90s phrase) early in season 2 and never recovered.

The shark-jumping was a forced move by ABC.

I never watched Twin Peaks on the first run. Watched the first four or five episodes on Netflix and thought that it held up o.k. and was pretty interesting/quirky. Watch 2-3 more and gave up. It didn't seem to hold up. I normally like "weird" stuff, but I wasn't into it. Pace was too slow, music was too bad.

Yeah, nope.

Twin Peaks is cool, but a conservative, college rockist site like Pitchfork should be on the prohibited Freep list.

You have to understand. Most TV sucked back then. There were some decent shows around in the 80's. Hill Street Blues was the first cop show where they didn't always get the bad guys and the cops were very flawed people St. Elsewhere was the first hospital show where they didn't always save or cure the patient, but those shows never got high ratings.
Then Twin Peaks comes along and it's way, way different and very weird. I loved it. There was a lot of strange, weird humor in it and the casting was perfect, but if you go into it now, with the high quality TV of today, you are going to wonder why people thought it was great. But it was.
Has Agent Cooper been living with Bob for the last 25 years? Did Audrey get blown up in the bank? Did Leo escape the tarantula trap?

There has never been anything like Twin Peaks. And I love those other shows. But Twin Peaks created it's own world, unlike anything before or since. And that theme song!
