One of televisions best shows...
Twin peaks truly was a excellent show that burned brightly for a short time then fizzled out as quickly as it came. The main reason was network pressure for Lynch and Frost to solve the Laura Palmer case before it's time (which may have never even been meant to be solved). The mystery of who killed Laura was meant to be a driving force in the shows for years and years but when they were forced to solve it midway through the second season it destroyed one of the things that made the show so compelling. After that, the twin peaks plane didn't just crash and burn but burst into flames in mid air. It really is remarkable to see how the quality that made the show so great suddenly vanished almost immediately after the murder was solved. Sure the show was still decent but never near close to it's glory days.

I'd say that the first 16 episodes of the series were masterpieces of not only storytelling but cinematography. Beautiful shots, vibrant colors (which are so rich due to the digital remastering) and that amazing twin peaks music to back it all up really make this series a pleasure to watch. Each episode (especially the first seven) are like a quality film unto their own. If you have never seen this show, you really owe it to yourself to check it out. I remember seeing it as a young child and watched it again for the first time in almost 20 years last winter and was utterly blown away by what a great show this is.

The special features on this box set are amazing too. The SNL skit is so funny and it has a nice 2-hr film on the making of the series that any fan will love. A Slice of David Lynch is also really great to watch and really shows what a cool guy David Lynch really is; he seems non at all "pretentious" as it might seem for some of the oddness of his work and is a really funny guy too.



Beautiful remastering
The only thing preventing this from 5 stars is that for some reason the log lady intros are not remastered. Everything else is remastered but the log lady intros remind me of worn down VHS tapes.

Twin Peaks
This is an all-in-one collection of one of the best "dark" television series. I was more than pleased with this item. I had seen either season one or season two but I didn't want to buy them seperately. This is the one set to buy. David Lynch fans will love it. I am a very satisfied customer. This is an excellent series for a "marathon".


Truly IS a gold box set
This version of the series on DVD is truly awesome. For the first time, the pilot episode is included, and it's so great to have the ENTIRE series in one set. The perfect gift for any true TP fan, and a great gift for anyone you want to introduce the series to.

OK, it's time for a cup of joe and a donut
One of the most original and interesting tv shows was the 1990s series Twin Peaks, and it has developed a bit of a cult following. The show was created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and initially centered on solving the murder of a teenage girl, Laura Palmer, in a quiet Northwestern logging town called Twin Peaks. But though the series focused on Laura's death, the show was compelling because it highlighted the interactions between the interesting and eccentric characters, exposed seedy events infusing the town and environs -- complete with paranormal undertones. Basically the series explored the mystery of life, the mystery of death, and the mystery of the woods surrounding Twin Peaks.

Although the first and second seasons have been available in DVD format for a while now, the critical pilot episode was not included in these previous editions. However, you can now get the complete series of Twin Peaks -- the pilot episode plus seasons one and two -- with Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition.

The DVD collection also includes noteworthy additions such as international versions of the pilot, an interview with David Lynch, Log Lady introductions for each episode, the "Falling" music video featuring Julee Cruise, Japanese Georgia Coffee commercials, the "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue and "Twin Peaks" sketch featuring Kyle MacLachlan, and behind the scenes pictures.

This DVD set is a great way to experience the show.

Enjoy!
