Twin Peaks is an American Emmy Award nominated Peabody and Golden Globe-winning television serial drama that follows the investigation headed by Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), of the death of popular teenager and homecoming queen, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, Twin Peaks's pilot episode was first broadcast on April 8, 1990 on the ABC Network, until June 10, 1991. The show is set in a small fictional Washington town known as "Twin Peaks".
After its debut episode on April 8, 1990, Twin Peaks became a top-rating programme and was a critical success. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the series became a part of popular culture, referenced in other television shows, commercials, comic books, a video game, films and song lyrics. Declining viewer ratings in the long-running second season led to an eventual cancellation. In 1992, the series spawned a prequel to the series, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992), which attempted to connect the events leading up to Laura Palmer's death. From 2003 until 2004, Bravo re-aired Twin Peaks in the United States. Currently, NBC Universal's (also the current owner of Bravo) horror-themed cable channel Chiller, which launched on March 1, 2007, is airing the series.
Just started watching this show for the first time. I had never heard of it until I started watching David Lynch movies a few years ago. So far I've watched the pilot. Great quirky characters and a strange Lynch-like eerie small town atmosphere. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this one.
Officially half way through. Kyle MacLachlan was the perfect choice for Agent Cooper. There are some other great casting choices too. Miguel Ferrer as Agent Rosenfield cracks me up every time he's on screen. I even saw Squiggy from Laverne & Shirley in there.
I tend to get hungry every time I watch this. They really make a big deal about the food in this town. Cooper really cracked me up with this quote: "this must be where pies go when they die".
5 more discs to go, it's getting really strange now that they're revealing the killer.
Rosenfeld is the best. "Look it's trying to think," classic.
Good to hear someone enjoying the genius of Twin Peaks. It's going to get much more weird, but also keeps getting better and better. I won't spoil anything of course, but I would be shocked if you figured out who the killer was before they told you.
Let us know when you have gotten that far, and I'll say more. Enjoy the best show ever to hit the air waves.

Spoiler:
They told us the killer was Bob, but now they're talking about the White Lodge. This show is really strange, so I try not to assume too much.
Agent Cooper is one of my favorite characters of all-time.
They have some great guests on this show. David Duchovny as a cross dressing fbi agent was hilarious. Billy Zane just showed up. As well as the girl from Karate Kid 3. I used to have a crush on her, way back then.
Ben Foster is really cracking me up with his civil war reenactment.
I lived and died by the TV schedule when Twin Peaks was on. People either got it, or totally and 100% did not. (My not-yet ex didn't, which should have told me all I really needed to know.) Kyle MacLachlan was perfect. It was like being IN Highway 61 Revisited.
I suspect it's much more accessible to a slightly younger generation than it was to most people almost 20 years ago, when nothing so post-modern weird really had made the airwaves or even been part of really popular movies; there's been a lot more of it since then. (Now THAT really makes me feel old.)
