Summary: A World Bigger Than The Box In Your Living Room
Review: Quite simply, the best television show ever. But even that is an understatement, because Twin Peaks easily moves beyond mere television - it is more than just weekly entertainment. This is an entire world - perhaps a universe - unto itself. Imagine the vast, mysterious universe that we experience nightly, in dreams. This is that universe. Nothing is as it seems, and no one is who they appear to be. The line between the waking reality and the dream fantasy has been erased, if indeed it ever existed at all. Anyone with an active imagination and a fascination with the unknown owes it to themselves to experience this very rare instance of the essence of dream captured and given physical (metaphysical?) form.
"There is more to Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in our philosophy." How very, very true.

Summary: Twin Peaks ROXXORS
Review: Twin Peaks = teh winnar
Here are my thoughts on the DVD. It's affordable. The art direction is great as it has a cover with Laura Palmer's prom pic being a on a transparent case that covers the pic of her wrapped in plastic on the box. The fact the pilot isn't included should NOT be a reason to not buy this DVD. It still has the "complete" first season along with the interviews and other such goodies listed above. People who own the series on VHS can also buy this and get the first season in the best video quality possible and have it be a gem in their DVD collection. ALSO, THE BETTER THIS DVD DOES, THE MORE LIKELY THE REST OF THE SERIES WILL BE RELEASED ON DVD WITH MORE EXTRAS. I already preordered.

Summary: The best season of TV ever
Review: This show made television worth watching and made it worth while to be involved with a shows story. David Lynch created such a great world of mystery and fear in Twin Peaks that it made me terrified to watch the show alone. As Agent Cooper said, "secrets are very bad things" so if you've never seen the show, force yourself.

Summary: A wonderful show.
Review: Well it's certainly better than anything on at the moment. I'll be buying it, and I hope they go ahead and release the second series too.

Summary: First Season Minus Pilot Equals Three Stars
Review: David Lynch is my favorite director and this is a great show. But this box set is missing the 2 hour pilot episode. That's the episode that sets up the story and introduces the characters. This box set begins with the second episode. Sorry, but that's an incomplete box set and you'll have to buy an import dvd to get the first episode, or watch an old vhs copy. Buyer beware: this isn't the entire "first season."Additional Note: I've purchased the region free import DVD from China, the running time is shorter than when originally aired on tv. This is because the transfer was slightly speeded up to make the shorter running time so some of the voices will sound higher pitched. That said, it's the only DVD version I know of. My best bet for the pilot episode is still the VHS "movie" version from Warner Bros--just make sure to stop it before where the original pilot ended and skip the tacked on ending.

Summary: ... for having known a singular joy ...
Review: Twin Peaks was awesome, and has to be watched in chronological order. The series left me emotionally drained after watching each episode it was so powerful. After watching the last episode and feeling so horribly cheated by the television networks I would wander around in the following weeks with a profound sense of loss, and flashes of the feelings Twin Peaks left me. The best television series ever made.

Summary: Brilliantly Misunderstood
Review: Perhaps one of the most startlingly creative and artistic achievement to ever be seen on television, "Twin Peaks" is the most misunderstood series and one of the finest hour of filmmaking.
Of course, I was far too young when this series was originally broadcasted, but I was introduced to the series when it was released on video. So it was nice to hear that it will soon join the DVD format.
There is much to like about this series besides the fact that it was thought up by one of cinema's most brilliant and unusual director David Lynch ("Mullholland Drive," Blue Velvet"). And who wasn't obsessed with the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer in the strange little town of Twin Peaks? Who didn't find the characters so interesting (I LOVED Deputy Andy!)?
Although I have not seen this DVD collection, I highly recommend you at least check it out. If you haven't seen the series, this would be a great opportunity to do so...I swear you'll be hooked before Agent Cooper (Kyle Maclachlan) says: "That's DAMN good coffee, Diane."
However, I have a beef with those that had stopped watching this series after the first season. Although the murder of Laura Palmer is solved in the end, there were those that stopped watching because (this was one opinion) hey who can stare at a donut for two mintues? Or how many times can we watch Deputy Andy start weeping at the sight of a dead body?
These things are small compared to the overall depth of the filmmaking and writing. Shame on you for tuning out.

Summary: Improvement Please.....
Review: I hope to God this DVD release will be a better quality than the video set release. The VHS set was one (if not the worst)collection sets I have ever seen. The quality was horrendous and my hope is they put some effort into the DVD. My tapes of the show I recorded myself were better than the released VHS! With that said, if the quality is there buy this DVD set. Twin Peaks is the greatest story ever told on television.

Summary: Twin Peaks; The Masterpeice of Television
Review: Twin Peaks in my opinion is simply, the best television show ever made. The work of David Lynch and Mark Frost come across well in each and every episode of Twin Peaks. The way that David Lynch conveys things is excellent. If you are familiar with Lynch's works, he has a reoccurring ideal about people. And that ideal is that everyone, even the most seemingly simple and open people, have something to hide. No one is what they seem, and if you dig deep enough, you can find that even the best of people have a skeleton or two in their closet. It is a thought that makes you think, and keeps you captivated. Twin Peaks makes good use of this principle. You start to watch the show, and get familiar with the characters, and then learn things you would have never guessed. It's quite simply amazing. Twin Peaks was a show made well before it's time. Ten years many people couldn't handle the heavy thinking and symbolism that was involved with Twin Peaks, and it was ultimately canceled. But this does not take away the fact that Twin Peaks can easily be called the best Television show ever made. If you are looking for quality, look no further than Twin Peaks. But if you are looking for a show that will spoon feed you information and not make you think, then you should probably find something else. But who knows, maybe people are finally ready for Twin Peaks?

Summary: She's full of secrets!
Review: I never saw the show when it was on TV. I had heard a little bit about the hype. Recently I rented the pilot at my local video store. I must say that I am hooked. I can not wait to see the rest of this series.
I am a huge X-Files fan. I can now see why everyone thinks it's a rip-off of Twin Peaks. I still love X-Files; but, it's going to be a toss up this Christmas to see which DVD set I buy: Twin Peaks Season One or X-Files Season Four. I'm sure I'll eventually get both. But I'm more excited about Twin Peaks!
