Subject: Survey trends From: ramos@aludra.usc.edu (Luis Ramos) Date: 1991-03-05, 18:20 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Keep those survey responses coming. Trends have indicated a lead by some program shown on FOX, followed not too far behind by an NBC show and a show from an independent network. Oh, before I forget, I am reminding those who answered "No, not yet but I plan to" to question 10 not to forget sending in their letters. I plan on posting results on Thursday, March 7 (to allow for network latency). I've included a copy of the questionnaire in case you missed the original posting.
