The Sleuth Channel is showing the pilot episode tonight.
Totally takes me back to high school when this aired. And now I want to watch the rest of season 1.
Any other fans out there?

I know there are some folks around here who have dressed up for Halloween as TP references. TV's Grady is Dale Cooper this year, and MJ went as The Black Lodge a few years ago (I think?).
Watching it again now, I'm noticing how awful some of the acting is.

I was only a young kid when this show first aired, and got exposed to it because my mom was a huge fan for a while. I recently rewatched the series, and was struck by how much of it had gone over my head the first time around.

Ditto...'cept the part about owning the diary. I worked in the Paramount Purchasing Dept at the time, and one of the buyers there and I would talk about it for hours after each airing. It was the forerunner to the "Weird Shows" like Northern Exposure and Lost.

I just watched the episode where James plays that song on his guitar for the two girls. Wow. It might be the worst 5 minutes of television ever. And that includes Sharktopus.

I posted this on the Psych thread, but it bears doubling up here: Last night's Twin Peaks tribute episode was one of the highlights of my television watching life. Every frame of the episode had a TP reference in it. The first shot was of a chocolate bunny on Shawn's desk. On the counter in the doctor's office was a coconut. The first lines of dialogue in the episode were about silent drape runners. There were owls that weren't what they seemed, arson at the sawmill, and the log lady. Let's see...there was The Great Northern newspaper, an email from me@underthenail.com, and Sherilyn Fenn talking about how much she likes cherries. The best moments were when Sheryl Lee (the original Laura Palmer) was pulling back the plastic on the drowned girl. I'm sure it was quite a surreal experience for the actress. And later in the episode when the priest (played by Ray Wise, who played Laura's father on TP) showed up in town with his hair suddenly white. Awesome. It's up on hulu right now. www.hulu.com/watch/197344/psych-dual-spires

I watched this show avidly when it came out- even staying up through a terrible fever to watch (no vcr!). I went overseas for a few months in December, so I made it as far as Laura's funeral and I never found out what happened (until last year). When I came back in April, things were *very* different and I didn't bother trying to watch. Thanks to Chiller's 6 pm time slot, I was finally able to get a more cohesive sense of WTH happened, and I fell in love with the series all over again.
I still have Laura's Diary. I also had Agent Cooper's Diary and a board game purchased in England, but they perished in a flood in 2006. Oh, I also lifted a cardboard thingie from the video rental store (remember those?). It only exists digitally, now.
In 1997 I met a Japanese woman in a speech class. We knew each other a few months before we found out we were both huge Twin Peaks fans (apparently, it was a big craze in Japan). We would sit and talk about the intricacies of the plot and characters, she sort of explained what happened during the months I missed, and she would ask me about cultural things she didn't understand. Oddly, we had to do this from memory, since neither of us had seen the show for five years.

I don't really remember it too much, but I remember seeing Sesame Street doing "Twin Beaks". I assumed it was a reference to it, but didn't this Sesame Street would reference another show.
