Lots of TV material makes it to videotapes, usually vintage TV (such as
The Avengers, I Love Lucy, The Prisoner, Dark Shadows) or miniseries
(such as Roots, Brideshead Revisited, or The Winds of War). I have not
heard of Twin Peaks coming out on tape, and I think a video distributor
might have a tough time getting the rights until the show's run is over.
SURELY a distributor realizes there would be a cult following (and ergo
cash in his/her pocket) and get the rights. I did hear that a  TP videotape
was being marketed in Europe.
