    I've watched the pilot and the following episode, I have yet to go back though.  This isn't because I didn't like it, I just haven't found the time.

The guy that plays Dale still looks the same, I say they need to start up the show again Lol. To bad that Ernest guy died... "

    That is my biggest complaint with the show. I want to know what happens! Speaking of this, I am watching the last episode on TV right this second. Maybe another movie or something to rap everything up? Or a 3rd season would be cool.

    I'm 6 episodes in to season 2. It's a good complement to the ER since both Jeff and Ryan are dropping a ton of references to it.

    This show was airing when I was in Diapers. I think they would have to re-cast everyone if they continued the story line.  They could probably get Dale back because he hasn't aged to much amazingly.

    A show called  "happy town" that is about to air on ABC looks promising. It is about a murder in a secluded beautiful town probably in the mountains. I'm hoping it is similar.

    Yup, downloaded and watched solely because of the Endurance Run. Hadn't even heard of it before. The discontinuation of the series is a huge bummer, as it reflects storywise. The final episode's cliffhanger is so lame it's easy to get over the fact there's no season 3, though. 

    @kylekrueger: that's actually an excellent place to stop watching.

    @clush: By god, no! Don't tell him to stop watching now. Granted, the series hits a recognizable low point  for a couple of episodes after the murder case is "done with", but as long as you ignore the ending (in case you don't like it), the very last couple of episodes are among the best Twin Peaks has to offer.

    I had downloaded TP some time ago, watched about half of the pilot and deleted the entire thing. I cannot stand bad 90s synthesizer-based soundtracks. I might give it another go, as DP certainly has heightened my interest in the show. But man... bad soundtrack is bad.

    'Cause ya know, these hotels and motels - they say they'll give you a good deal - but when you get there it's a totally different story. That's something York would totally say.

    I see a few people hoping for a third season, but I don't think that would be a good idea.  I think that a reboot is in order here with complete recasts.  David Lynch's involvement is a must, as well.

    Does anyone feel like that new show Happy Town seems like a darker Twin Peaks ripoff?

    You have to watch Twin Peaks to get the most out of Deadly Premonition imo. Most of the game's greatness comes from the weird Japanese-filtered interpretation on Twin Peaks. It's like they tried to turn up the surrealism to 11, and it turns into a whole other experience.

    I must admit, the DP ERs have made me rewatch Twin Peaks. Great, great show, especially at the beginning.

    I have because of the Endurance Run on NBC's website since they're streaming it for free.  I'm about halfway through the first season, and I'm enjoying it so far even if the budget hasn't held up spectacularly.

     Honestly, I never heard of Twin Peaks until I started watching the Endurance Run. But now that I've been watching the ER for 3 weeks, and went out of my way to buy myself a copy of Deadly Premonition, I'm intrigued and want to check it out. Besides, my coffee told me to.

    Started watching it a couple days ago because of the ER and the upcoming Alane Wake title.  The 'special agent' even talks to an unseen comrade over his tape recorder...obviously the creators of DP watched a lot of Twin Peaks. 
     
    I've noticed there is a lot of awkward dialog, lingering shots, and inappropriate use of humor and music in the show.  This makes me think that some of the jank in DP is at least somewhat intentional, including the really creepy smile.  Seems to fit the Lynch-ian vibe.

    I just started watching Twin Peaks. The entire series is on my Netflix queue. I must say that I, too, am very surprised at how similar it is to Deadly Premonition. I find myself laughing out loud a lot at some of the similarities, in fact. XD

    Oh snap, CBS used to have the whole thing up for streaming on their site, but it looks like they took it down. Lame.

    hm, could you elaborate on this? Because I didn't notice said awkward dialogue or inappropriate use of music in the show when I watched it last year.

    Good to see that it's still up on CBS. You still have to watch the pilot on youtube.
     
    Just a heads up to those who want to watch the series, so you don't get turned away too soon: The show takes a bit of a dive starting around season 2, episode 10 onwards, up until the last 3 or 4 episodes. It basically veers off into filler hell, and although there are a few bits of interesting plot buried in there, the majority of it is absolute junk compared to the rest of the show. Thankfully the series manages to end on a high note, imo, and the final episode is an absolute must-see.

    That reminds me: I'll hafta add it to my queue. I'm thinking that I'll remove the other discs from my queue, since I've seen the pilot and am in the process of watching the rest on CBS' Web site. I was gonna buy the DVD set that includes all of the episodes, but a lot of people complain about it missing a lot of scenes. I could get the two separate box sets that apparently don't have that issue, but then I wouldn't have the pilot. I don't understand that. Why wouldn't they have released the damn pilot in the season one set? A lot happens in the pilot.

    Know it's all on netflix so hoping that sometime soon Brad, Vinny & anyone else who wants to see it at Giant Bomb just sit down to watch it. Hard to find someone yet who hasn't liked the series once they dipped into it. I know I'll probably get my dvds off the shelf to watch this series in the next few days while waiting for more star trek from netflix.

    @Cake: It does suck, I would be upset if I hadn't already seen it. But don't worry, you still have a lot of things to enjoy about Twin Peaks. It actually goes deeper than that anyways. Not to mention, when you actually find out, the way it's revealed is just...insane. No, your money was well spent.
