This rare PBS special aired right after episode 9 on 10/6/90. With Twin Peaks writer, producer and co-creator Mark Frost. A Twin Peaks Archive upload. WWW.TWINPEAKSARCHIVE.BLOGSPOT.COM Special thanks to Qbin!
Twin Peaks was just too alternative for mainstream America. Still one of the best shows ever to be on TV. It's too bad our corporate conformist culture couldn't handle it. Look forward to the new episodes!
That guy Holsten, or Colsten, hit the nail right on the head with his observations. TP depicted grief and the consequences of violence better than any other show up to that point, and probably since, and the second season (which was airing at that time) was consistently less excellent than the first. Judy Guest had a similar insight when speaking about the balance of good and evil in the show, how one does not negate the other, unlike how we perceive things in life and how they're usually depicted on TV
I seem to recall Mark Frost saying that after focus group testing was done on the pilot episode, the network was surprised by the positive responses and knew they had something special on their hands - possible source: twin peaks podcast interview with Mark Frost. This type of conversation among industry professionals used to be common on TV, the internet saw the rise of the amateurs, some of whom were right half the time and more importantly were either free or cheap to consume.
mistersurrealist - True, but he nailed it when he said it would be cancelled at the end of the season. Took some balls to say that sitting right next to Mark Frost.
23.34 Twin Peaks is not a show anyone would copy, apart from The X files, Lost, The Killing, Hannibal, Wayward Pines, Northern Exposure and I'm to drunk right now to think of more.
Northern Exposure began the same year as Twin Peaks. Both were amazing television shows, and very different from one another. Also, TV shows have since borrowed *elements* from TP but there has never been a blatant copy of its style or vibe and its quirkiness in one series.
@@eduardo_corrochio agree i wouldn't put 'northern exposure' in that category.. i've only crossed it a couple of times on the dial, but other than a vague lodgecore aesthetic i'm not really seeing a link..
I was pretty shocked when the critic said he didn't think it would change or advance television. I think it did exactly that, even though it was canceled! Twin Peaks led to X-Files, which led to Fringe and Lost, which led to countless imitators.
I really think there is a good argument for twin peaks being that vital, catalytic vehicle that really showed what TV could be and the stories it could tell in its own unique way. You wouldn't have shows like the Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad and Dexter in same way you have them now if it wasn't for Twin Peaks (although you may argue the former shows are more consistent, it was twin peaks which was the innovator.)
You never heard of the soldiers going home and beating their wives. Domestic violence affects one in 3 women and millions are beaten and raped and often murdered every year.
@@Ometecuhtli Don’t forget Hiroshima or Auschwitz. Either way we are talking about the global death count and the percentage of men who died is far higher
