The Twin Peaks pilot episode hit the small screen on Sunday, April 8, 1990. In the months leading up to its debut, a blitz of coverage tried to drum up viewership with the doubtful hyperbole that Twin Peaks would be ‘the show that changes television forever’. Cherry pie will be enjoyed, along with many damn fine cups of coffee, as the mystical whodunit unfolds. Many make the pilgrimage to the town of Snoqualmie, Washington, where the show’s exterior scenes were filmed, including the iconic opening shot of the crashing Snoqualmie Falls set to Angelo Badalamenti’s haunting theme. Superfans will have scheduled their marathon series rewatch to commence at 10:55 this morning, to synch with Cooper’s arrival on the woodsy scene around 35 minutes into the first episode, “Northwest Passage”, dictating the above into his ever-present microcassette recorder for his far-off assistant Diane to someday transcribe. Fans of David Lynch’s cult 1990-91 primetime television show celebrate February 24 as Twin Peaks Day-the day FBI Agent Dale Cooper comes to town to investigate the death of Laura Palmer.
