Today’s Links are brought to you by: TWIN PEAKS.  Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost the series was set in the fictional town of Twin Peaks in northeast Washington state and tells the story of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper and his investigation of the murder of a popular local teenage schoolgirl, Laura Palmer.

Twin Peaks became one of 1990s’ top-rated shows, a critical success both nationally and internationally.

In 2007 Twin Peaks was listed as one of Time magazine’s “100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME.”

twinpeaksxIt is one of the best TV shows ever produced.  Its acclaim is worldwide.  It was new, dark, and such a turn from what was on TV at the time.  I am of course talking about the brilliant TWIN PEAKS.
