I've written my letter to BOB Iger, and I am confident that Twin Peaks 
will be placed back on the air, one way or the other.

But, come on! What the hell did the ABSOLUTE GENIUSES (not!) at ABC
expect when they took Twin Peaks from it's fairly-high rated Tuesday time 
slot and put it in at the 10:00 Pm saturday night graveyard slot? If they 
replaced it in a weeknight slot, the ratings would not be so bad - they 
might not be as good as Cosby (yecch) , but they would NOt be at 86th 
place. By the same token, if the Nielsen system took into account VCR 
recordings, the ratings would not be as bad. 

And on another topic:
Certain characters and situations have not been consistent since first 
season. For instance, are just supposed to think that Bobby, Audrey, 
Shelly, James, etc. have just been skipping school for the past week or 
so? Last I heard, they were high school seniors. Second, what happened to 
Ben, Jerry, and Bobby being the complete a-holes they were first season? 
I mean, they were the absolute slime on TP for the first six or seven 
episodes - besides Leo, of course. Bobby was a murderer wannabe/drug 
dealer etc., Ben and Jerry were organized criminals, pimps, etc. And now 
they might as well be Ward Cleavers, all of 'em.
