roll call: how many of you watched the series on its original run? (my hand is way up)

i think some ilxors were born around then, if not later
it was a big deal with my high school AP English class crew, watched it religiously when it aired

My parents watched it, so my memory is as hazy as that famous chill wave VHS sound.

yes, watched it with my post-high school stoner layabout crew every week. went off on a backpacking trip and missed the last few episodes, which at the time I thought meant I'd NEVER see them. I don't think TV shows were even released on VHS much back then, it never went into repeats, and nobody had their shit together enough to tape anything. Seems like a million years ago when something could be there and then gone. Everything lasts forever.

the first season was released on VHS some time before or during the 2nd season, then the whole series was re-released as a box set on (very shitty) VHS tapes a few years after that. I had the box set and loaned it out a lot to friends who had missed the show in its first go-round.

I watched the first season when it was on tv, but I trailed off after that

a friend and i watched it pretty religiously through both seasons, and even joined a discussion group* about it, where we were by far the youngest members.
*do they still have these things anymore? the internet, etc.
― espring (amateurist), Thursday, 15 May 2014 21:10 (ten years ago) link
said discussion group rented out a room in a hotel to watch the series finale on a big screen.

but this is otm, there was no "catch up on DVR / VOD / internets" so we would set the VCR for any ones we'd have to miss ...

that was kind of a problem with the show though ... I was v dedicated to watching all the episodes but if you missed one you were pretty fucked

Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

Way way up here too. Saw the movie on opening night also.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 15 May 2014 23:37 (ten years ago) link
My memory is that I watched most or all of the first season as it aired; definitely not the second, though I came back for the final episode or two. The first time I saw the entirety from start to finish was when Bravo reran it in the mid-'90s, then I watched it all again when I bought the box set seven or eight years ago.

no Miguel Ferrer in the deleted scenes trailer :/

I watched this religiously. I in my final year of high school when it debuted and I was incredibly sick with bleeding ulcers and had to have surgery, I barely went to school my second semester. Twin Peaks essentially saved my life at the time.
― akm, Friday, 16 May 2014 04:05 (ten years ago) link
I watched it when it was on TV here, probably six months or so behind US transmission. Every following morning, my first-period history teacher would assign some work and then come to my desk to talk over the previous night's episode. We both loved the Diane Keaton episode IIRC

There is a deleted scene on this Blu Ray which is an extreme close up of Laura's face for about a minute while light flashes and her mouth starts to grin but her eyes stay dead. It's unbelievably creepy.

― Dan I., Sunday, 17 August 2014 04:44 (nine years ago) link
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever, to the strains of a collective shout: "make it into a gif! Make it into a gif!"

i have to say that all the deleted scenes on the blu-ray box set were kind of a letdown, but that was inevitable, right?

I'd hate to see a shitty revival, but I could see this working if the younger cast members now comprised the older & weirder townie contingent.

yeah the younger cast as the oldsters (and they wouldn't even need all of them, just enough - Sherilyn Fenn, Bobby/James, etc.) seems like a no-brainer
