@TheRejectedXXX I came up with an idea, while walking to the local T station to get to work. I live in East Boston and so it's kinda like being in a town in a city. It was very densely foggy on an autumn afternoon. ANd i came up with this idea about writing a story about two protagonists who go into a town located in a valley with their own goals. The fog brings out a lot of outlandish things and creatures. THat day i just wanted to go back hame and write it down. it wa sall i thought about.
THis along with David Lynch's other works was what inspired Silent Hill. i might watch Lynch's stuff, but i might not play Silent Hill unless if i i and the room are blessed by every religious diety from ever religion or at least the abrahamic religions.Call me a pussy, but that game freaks me out and yet i can hear call for me.
@doggett21 You played it? I only watched a walkthrough. That was a scary tale with so many endings. That's what i like about japenese games. You choose your fate. you are not, destined. Anyways, wanna hear about something kinda related to Twin Peaks and Silent HIll?
@SuperIlluminaughty the way i see it, networks dont make anything. they just promo shows and run them. it's the production companys and the writers/producers/directers and of coures a good cast that makes a show. Abc is just a label like Fox and NBC.
Twin Peaks definitely got screwed over, but I'm not sure Lynch and company really had the desire to take it the distance. I'm sure they new by season 7 people would have been asking more and more questions which they never intended to answer. It would have probably gone downhill with stupid subplots about time-travel, alternate universes and protecting secret caves. All of that original writing would be Lost in the fog of a shitty show. What would be the point then. It's all for the best.
By far, Twin Peaks was one of the most unusual TV Shows I've ever seen. It haunted me. It amazed me. 21 years later, its effects can still be felt...from Pete Martell's "She's dead!" to Cooper's "How's Annie?"
Laura Palmer said that she would see Cooper again in "25 years".
That was in 1990. I wonder what will happen in 2015?
respect to the one who edited these promos back then. They are awesome :)
this show should have never been canceled and could have run for another 2 more seasons imo. So many awesome characters, a very good setup, excellent humor and a great performance by everyone of the cast.
Canceling this show was ABCs biggest misstake EVER!!
@Cryer24597 I started watching TP in 2008 (now I am 17) and I think it gets just as exciting after the murder is solved. Love supernatural and weird things, Lynch's a genious. And you should se Fire Walk With Me, if you haven't ofc :)
I used to beg my mom to let me stay up and watch this show. And when she wouldn't let me? I'd sneak and watch it anyway. There has never been another show quite like Twin Peaks, and likely never will be again.
Probably the coolest thing is that Lynch and Frost never wanted to solved the mystery, which if you think about it is very daring. Of course, audiences would have probably revolted...
All that promotion and acclaim for this great show, but ABC buried it in bad time slots--first opposite Cheers, then on Saturday nights. The last episode ran up against the equally strange Northern Exposure. What a shame.
So very true. I can also remember an interview that the show's creators gave where they said they also had a hard time keeping their audience after Laura Palmer's murder was solved - they believed people lost interest after that, and that it was harder to find more intriguing plot twists for the show because her murder had been solved. Such a shame...
@SellawEvets What's really a shame is that there are season 3 episodes that were completed and never released. instead we were left with the mad cliffhanger at the end of s2.
actually, betamax had better video fidelity than vhs because the tape was wider. beta was the standard for news broadcasts up until the digital age, for instance. its downfall in the consumer market was that the cassettes couldn't be as long so many feature length releases had to be split over two tapes. this concludes another useless factoid PSA.
Even though Beta had a better video quality than VHS, it's the quality of the heads that determine the picture you eventually see. My Dad's Beta's heads are all screwed up.
Twin Peaks will always remind me of my Sophomore year in High School. I remember all the brief mania. Everyone and their mother was talking about Peaks. Then - poof. Gone.
Most of us knew it was dead out of the gate, but we enjoyed the ride while it lasted.
I still hold a grudge towards ABC to this very day. And I also have my tape from when it first aired, too. The sticker still even has the 04/08/90 air date on it. The audio crapped out, over the years.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
did i say sister?? i meant golden retriever. We broke up because we had to put her asleep. She bite me while I was trying to get a kiss. She was a bitch
Looking at that last promo, I have no idea why ABC treated Twin Peaks so poorly, especially since it's their falt ratings went down and the show had more than enough potential to continue (see last few episodes).
Executives love to meddle. Countless tv shows and movies have ended up either less than they could have been, or trashed due to their interference. There's a reason why the creative people are the ones making the shows, but don't try to explain that to an ego maniac in an expensive suit.
Lynch and Frost never intended to reveal the identity of Laura's killer so soon. That was a network demand. Idiots.
My goodness, how much has the social climate changed since then? Can you imagine regular David Lynch on network TV now? So sad that creativity and originality aren't valued any more. It's all reality TV and formulaic crime drama. How I wish it were 1990 again.
I think in general, TV has become a lot more creative, original and even cinematic in the last few years. Take a look at Lost, Carnivale, Battlestar Galactica,... none of these shows could have been made 10 years ago. Twin Peaks opened up the way, and the climate has improved since then.
"I think in general, TV has become a lot more creative, original and even cinematic in the last few years."
There have been a few standout new shows, like Battlestar Galactica. But I think television as a whole has really gone down hill. Music is worse. It's like the entertainment industry is running out of ideas. For a good example of what I'm talking about, try watching the new Knight Rider. Oi!
But the original Knight Rider was just funny! :P I mean, Hasselhoff. *giggle* Come one.
There have been more than a few standouts: BSG, Carnivale, Firefly, Farscape, Buffy, Angel, The Inside, The West Wing, Torchwood. And Twin Peaks is the only older show I've found with the evident creativity to rival any of these.
oh man I loved that show, the next day me and all my friends were all giddy over it. It was just so frustrating because how could there be a mystery when that other girl on the bridge saw everything!!! But of course she didn't speak anymore. hehe GENIUS!!!!
This was an amazing show. To bad I was 8 when this show was on. Luckily I saw it a year ago and fell in love. I iwsh they had more shows like this. BTW Have you SEEN lost highway?? That is another amazing lynch masterpiece
I think she was killed that year. Yes, now I remember. It was like the most beautiful dream and the most terrible at once. Call it what you want, How about a flash back? Only the log knows for sure.
Man i wish they wouldn't have revealed Lauras killer until they were ready to end the series. I could have went on for 5 more years. It looks like shows such as Lost learned from TP mistake.
"ABC is starting to look more an more like the network of the nineties." Man, putting that quote there makes them seem even stupider for cancelling the show, in retrospect. What a bunch of morons and half-wits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells.
I honestly think this show improved the country. It opened up the possibility for new avenues of thinking. Particularily for people who did nothing but watch tv. I mean you had these unreflective people suddenly worried about what the black lodge meant. This outward reflection make them inwardly reflective.
hey cool! thanks :) would you have a copy of the spot where Cooper wakes from a dream, dorothy of Oz style, telling the Log Lady et al that he had a bad dream that they all went to a saturday slot?
Ironic how they build up the show with pressing clippings about how amazing ABC is, then they move season 2 to a death slot and cancel it despite plans for a 3rd season.
Networks fear any show that is original or goes outside the norm ( poorly written sitcoms, etc.) Twin Peaks is a prime example of this fear. What a shame.
