Subject: Re: ABC did not kill Twin Peaks From: lwv27@CAS.BITNET (Larry W. Virden ext. 2487) Date: 1991-05-17, 18:47 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks I dont understand all of this noise about tv viewers not able to watch serial tv, not interested in maintaining continuity, etc. I mean, look at shows like soap operas on for dozens of years, shows like Dalls, Knotts Landing, Dynasty, etc., shows like Dr Who, and specials like Brideshead Revisited. I think that the public has shown time and again that it WILL watch things that keep going and going and going... So what IS the problem with TP? Two things that I know I have heard - a large percentage of folks that I know have indicated that they were waiting for reruns - I know that _I_ waited for the reruns of the first season. The second thing was that folks who DID try to watch 'didnt get it' - it was too strange. A continuing story line is fine if folks understand who is who and what is going on and can anticipate what is about to happen. -- Larry W.
