Twin Peaks was the best thing ever on TV. Slice of cherry pie anyone?

Forgot one... maybe even better than "Twin Peaks". "The Prisoner". Way ahead of it's time. Hell, it would be way ahead of its time today.

Like "Twin Peaks", this is a series that you can analyze forever. Also... I believe it was the only TV show to feature a Lotus Super Seven on each opening sequence!

Corn...you forgot our L.A. riots. My second riot in L.A. I held off on this, but... the best TV ever! I said it then, I'll say it now. Great TV! Better yet if you lived here. Had the wheels stolen from one of my cars (parked in the driveway while I was armed to the teeth -- gots to sleep sometime). Seems like the heat was in the south side of town -- smart criminals went where the police weren't and had a field day. Amazing time, great TV. Chicago in '68 is right up there in my book. Like HST says... "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro".
