View Full Version : Twin Peaks
morningmyst 3-19-01, 06:25 PM Can't remember if this show was shown at the end of the 80's or beginning of the 90's. But, I remember I had to see it. I don't know why...but, I just did. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

morningmyst,
I think Twin Peaks came out in 88 or 89. It was great! A little to strange for some people, but not for me.

Oh, yes... I was a complete and total adict to that show. It was completely bizarre and suited my mind set to a "T". I haven't seen it in re-runs? Has anyone else? Do they show it?

It appears we still have a following and some of them are requesting some information about the good folks of Twin Peaks. A pacific northwestern heaven that I now call home. Folks, forthcoming will be information about the Great Northern hotel, the log lady, appearences of Giants and midgets. And we must not forget Tibet or the black and white lodges either. Nor should we forget the vile plot of Windom Earle or who really did kill Laura palmer? Fans of Twin Peaks, please read on..."

Guys-
As a huge Twin Peaks fan I can tell you for a fact that Twin Peaks made it's debut in April of 1990 as a mid-season replacement for ABC. The first season consisted of 6 episodes. Season two had 22 episodes and ran from the fall of 1990 to the spring of 1991. In 1994 David Lynch made a theatrical Twin Peaks prequel called Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I have the series on video. In the mid 90's they released the series as a box set and you can still find it at places like Suncoast video, if any of you are that much of a fan. The Bravo channel use to air it but I don't think they do anymore.
Glad to see that there are still fans of the white lodge & the black lodge, the log lady, the giant, the midget & a big piece of cherry pie!

Just a little trivia about Twin Peaks. Personally I never saw the show, but I read that X-files David Duchovney was in it at some point. Anyway, in the first episode of X-files there's this: scene - he's leaning against a desk talking to Scully, behind him on the wall is the autopsy photo of Laura from Twin Peaks. Kind of neat hmm? By the way, my life isn't quite that empty. I have a book called <u>The Complete Nitpickers Guide to the X-files</u>where I got that tidbit from. I may have been wrong about the particular episode tho...

Just a little nit-pick. The first season was actually EIGHT episodes, not 6. (As a hardcore watcher/taper/archiver of various shows, including this one at one point, I'm a tad anal about such things...) http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//wink.gif There was the two-hour premiere, followed by 7 one-hour episodes. Then the second season had a two-hour premiere, followed by 21 one-hour episodes. The last two were originally shown together as a two-hour special. They've all been released on video and laserdisc, but good luck finding them nowadays. I'm sure a re-release will occur at SOME point. Oh, one thing worth mentioning about the original pilot: The original aired version of the pilot movie has NEVER been made available on video (except for Japanese Laserdisc, I believe...basically, in english with Japanese sub-titles). Apparently, Warner Bros. owns the rights to the PILOT, but another company picked up the rights to the series. Weird...

Loved Twin Peaks. Watched it religiously in ninth and tenth grade. (One of my Yahoo! IDs is AgentCooper24... LOL!) Even now I swoon over FBI special agents in hopes they might be a little like Dale.
I was so scared when the finale originally aired, I wouldn't go in the bathroom in the dark for a whole year! Hehe!
I taped much of it from Bravo last year, then the nimwits started airing it at 6 AM only a few episodes from the end, so I couldn't finish taping it. (my cable system has Bravo on a shared channel from 6 PM to 6 AM... Grr!)
