Subject: TP: COOP letter, news from Lynch/Frost From: jgp@rutabaga.Rational.COM (Jim Pellmann) Date: 1991-06-11, 22:56 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks,rec.arts.tv Here is a copy of the recent letter from COOP (Citizens Opposing the Offing of Peaks): June 5, 1991 Dear COOP member: As you are surely well aware, ABC's fall line up was announced late last month. Painfully absent from the schedule was Twin Peaks, network television's sole creative exercise. However, it is not time to mourn the death of Agent Cooper--not yet. Unfortunately, Lynch/Frost has exhausted all options in their attempt to keep Peaks on the air in forthcoming seasons. ABC-TV dropped the ball, and no other network stepped forward to pick up the financial slack. Without the proper investment, the production company did not want to drastically cut back on quality just to put out the show on TV. David Lynch has assured both of us that the antics of the small northwestern logging town will live on. Where, they are not quite certain yet, but Peaks could be destined for the movie houses. Lynch/Frost will have more information in a few weeks, and promises COOP members will be among the first to know the details. We all know just what Lynch is capable of on the big screen, so there is a ray of hope on the horizon. Hopefully, we in COOP can all be of help. Please note the change in address for The Great Northern. Direct all correspondence to the new Lee Highway venue for COOP. Next, please take a moment today to jot down a few names and addresses of your friends who are Twin Peaks fans and drop them in the mail to us. We need to get as many people involved in our effort to support the work of Lynch/Frost Productions as possible. We need your input. We would also like to express our thanks to Star Pics, the makers of the Twin Peaks Collectible CardArt, for paying for the stamps, envelopes, and photocopying for this mailing. It was time for us to contact you and bring you up to date, but we literally had no money. Many of you asked us how to find these rarities, so check the enclosed flyer. According to David Lynch, "The cards are mighty cool." [see previous posting for info on the cards] Your work and dedication to creativity brought back Twin Peaks from the first hiatus. Your dissatisfaction with typical TV fare is well known; we have really made a difference. Our voices were heard from New York to Hollywood. We cannot thank each one of you enough. So, stay tuned. When we hear anything, you will be the first to know. Sincerely, Keith (Poston, National COOP President) & Michael (Caputo, National COOP Director) COOP The Great Northern 4201 North Lee Highway, Suite 805 Arlington, VA 22207 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's no sense in being precise when | Jim Pellmann (jpellmann@rational.com) you don't even know what you're talking | RATIONAL about. --- John von Neumann | Santa Clara, California
