Summary: 1 - 7 DVD Release Not Enough
Review: A good start, but 20 more to go. I can't believe I'm writing a silly amazon review, but this is important. If Industry people read these things, please do something about the atrocious delay in the release of this series. For Christ's sake, everything but Scooby Doo has made it to DVD already. Good work on 1-7.

Summary: DIANE...
Review: I can't wait for the 1st season DVD set to come out. I was lucky enough to find a DVD copy of the first episode elsewhere. All that did was make me hungry for more. Of course, I could pull out all of my old VHS tapes but I've been spoiled by DVD technology. Someone definitely needs to get on it and get the pilot and TPFWW out on DVD (in time to coincide with this release). The story may not have changed but that does not diminish my love for the series. It's fun to pull out the entire thing and watch it every year or 2. See you in Twin Peaks.

Summary: Not meeting demand...
Review: ...it is a rare treat to get your hands on episodes (no easy task at the local video store). This series enjoys an incredible soundtrack-- Lynch being a fanatic for strange and beautiful sounds. If for no other reason someone could make a pile of money from DVD's. Please hear our cry's and get this on DVD now! ~Gabe

Summary: Ranks alongside 'The Prisoner' in the TV hall of greatness
Review: ... and it only served to remind me how truly wonderful the series was! It's very hard to get hold of the videos in Europe now - the VHS editions are all deleted, and it's a rare treat to find a Blockbuster stocking the whole set of episodes. So, please, I entreat you [the studio] - please give this awesome title a DVD release soon!

Summary: Damn fine television
Review: I think the other reviews here sum up my own feelings for Twin Peaks, the best television series ever. The VHS edition of this series was an insult to anyone who ever bought it - recorded in super-long-play format, the color bleed and general distortion was *so* bad the set was absolutely unwatchable. Ironic, considering Twin Peaks was the only thing that made television really watchable again. Please hurry up and release the DVDs, and don't forget the pilot episode!

Summary: The fan base is large...we deserve this...with EXTRAS!
Review: I watch this t.v. show yearly, and always find something new hidden away. Even if the show began to loose it's edge in the second season (let's face it, it did) to be able to see the whole thing in it's entirety on the clarity of DVD, with sharp sound, picture which would blow away what's on the market now...cheap, EP tapes. And the potential for extras is huge, commentary tracks by the stars of the show, directors of the show, and of course, Creators Lynch and Frost. This needs to happen. And I will rush out and get in line, the moment it becomes available.

Summary: 52 x 5 stars
Review: The Twin Peaks series is the best television I've ever seen, and I am glad to be the 52d of 52 Amazonians to give it a five star rating. I hope the DVD publisher takes note: a Twin Peaks DVD would be in a very small category of essential DVDs with _Apocalypse Now_, _Blade Runner_, and _The Matrix_. The acting is superb, the filming is superb, the soundtrack -- always important in a Lynch production -- is superb, but what overwhelms and delights and satisfies are the characters. McLachlan as Cooper shines above all and provides a center and shape to the dozen or more of the most prominent others. The medium of a series seems to me the right and only one to realize best Lynch's vision of a world of intense delight floating on a quicksand of darkness among swamp creatures of the soul, a world of fragile pleasures not quite overcome by a churning id underneath, a vision in which we confront with humor and humility a reality that is dark and mysterious, more complicated, subterranean, humbling, and intimidating than we are normally prepared to admit and confront. We experience a wild and exhilarating vertigo as Lynch guides us to confront it. His invitation is sensual, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional, and the show's technical brilliance delivers all the goods intact. Dramatically, each character is also in the same process of discovery. The heroes we like the most are the ones most humble in this respect, no matter how different in other respects, whether youthfully rebellious or conservative and civic-minded or down and out or.... A marvelous unity in a marvelous diversity. Agent Cooper leads the way, a Sherlock Holmes of the soul as well as of the crime scene, but there are many others we love for this reason -- the Colonel, Sheriff Truman, Deputy Hawk, Pete (with whom the series begins), and the list goes on, including not least Leland and Mrs Palmer. Even the characters we despise and who lack the virtues of courage or humility are aglow with Lynch's respect for individual persons.I do not go so far as to say, as one reviewer does above, that each episode was perfect. Like any extended work, it varied, and the final shows written after the series was cancelled have an understandable dramatic desperation and sloppiness. But my estimation of it would be no less if it didn't. All great longer works of imagination that I know are similar. _The X-Files_ is a pretty good show, which also invites us to confront a world fundamentally more complex than we typically dare believe, but _The X-Files_ is a stuttering, childish, empty show compared to _Twin Peaks_, which is so much richer sensually and dramatically. _The X-Files_'s recent adopting of a more sustained central storyline brings it a step up from its episodic beginnings, but from its pilot (which I do concur *is* perfect), _Twin Peaks_ aims much higher and achieves much more. I think Lynch belongs with Kurosawa and Kubrick, and I hope that before he follows them to the grave he will give us something as fully realized as the best of their films. I'm not sure anything Lynch has done is more fuly realized than the _Twin Peaks_ series, even though it is not entirely his own. The feature film version is very strong, but there is something about the medium of the series -- perhaps its intrinsic state of unresolvedness -- that makes me give the palm(er) to the series.

Summary: Greatest TV Show of All Time!!!!
Review: If the rumors of a DVD release are true, then I'll gladly pay virtually any price to own this great TV series on DVD. From the premier episode over 10 years ago, I was hooked on this show. Kyle McLaughlin was only one of a great ensemble cast that provided a look into the dark underside of an idyllic northwestern town. A place of many secrets. The series thrived on it's eccentricities and even though it lost its audience over time, it continues to be one of the strongest TV shows ever made.

Summary: Oh, PLEASE make it real!!!
Review: I can honestly say, having been in my mid-teens when Twin Peaks was aired, that this was a TV show that changed the course of my life forever. (Call me a loser and laugh if you will--I don't care.) Never before or since have I seen a TV series as surreal, clever, and disturbing. Forget the Sopranos--Twin Peaks is the best TV drama EVER!!! WHEN it finally is released on DVD I will know that there truly is a good and benevolent (but, in the TP spirit, quirkily twisted) God.

Summary: when are they gonna release this???
Review: a triumph, an underappreciated gem of television, as groundbreaking as the twilight zone, the x-files wouldn't exist without it, David Lynch takes a northwestern small town murder mystery and turns it into a legend. the only question is... why have companies been putting off the making of this DVD collection for so long???? when this goes on sale (hopefully sooner than later) BUY IT!!! You'll never see a series like this ever again..
