The dropping of ratings is no surprise, nor the final cancellation of
Twin Peaks.  ABC buried the damned show in a 10:00 PM timeslot on Saturday
night, perhaps ignoring the very demographic to which the show appealed.
The 18-35 yr. old yuppie-esque crowd to which the show has its appeal is
probably NOT even home on a Saturday night.  David Lynch was quoted as
saying that Twin Peaks fans are party fiends, and that's what they are
doing Saturdays...he said moving Twin Peaks to this timeslot just freed
up a weeknight for the party hearty people to whom the show would appeal.
Yeah, whatever.  He's right, though.  To top it all off, ABC was always
pre-empting it, moving it from 10:00 PM to 9:00 PM, not putting it on
for a week.  Really a stupid thing to do when you want to keep regular
viewers.

Television just became a bit duller again.


Where do we write?
