[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 283554, member: 672"] Twin peaks was a very, very welcome breath of fresh air. TV productions in late 80s/early 90s were despondent, repetitive, crestfallen, not smart, in my opinion very bad. These years are the worst in regards to TV imo. All the Primetime soaps are out of steam, detoriated to cheapest daytime soaps. The rest are sitcoms (Roseanne, Cosby... and the likes) or other self-contained series (Murder she wrote). They all have in common that you didn't need to bother to watch every episode. It was brainless entertainment, TV degraded to its intelligently lowest form. And then there is Twin peaks where you had to observe closely, to ponder about the weird stuff, to remember what happened a few episodes earlier. I watched it once, enjoyed it. I'm not a keen fan but I'm very grateful that this series changed the TV landscape completely, had an influence on so many series and rescued us out of this orcus. [/QUOTE]
