This post is probably more directed at the people that didn't watch TP when it first aired because I'd assume that you all watched it with your friends anyway.

I'm making this post because I've recently let my friend at work borrow Season 1 and she finished it this weekend with her friends and they've already ordered the Gold Box so they can watch Season 2!! 

It makes me happy I now have someone at work I can talk about Twin Peaks with :)

I am ashamed of this but no-one.

I watched the first half-hour of the Pilot with my sister, and it just didn't feel right. I think it's quite a personal show.

On the other hand, I'm planning to buy the Gold Box as a present to a girl from work, a very good friend... In her case I'm sure she doesn't knows anything about it or at least not much...so it would be interesting.

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

When I first watched the show I deliberately told myself not to look at anything online about Twin Peaks so when I finally found out 'whodunnit' I was really shocked, I should've seen it coming now I know the series a lot better..

 However, my friend who I lent the first season to said she was in the pub talking to her mates about TP and someone told her what happens in episode 29!! i was soooo annoyed, she's not even on the second season yet!

Seems like offering TP to folks usually ends without a convert to the great TV show.

When aired originally I just had these five friends.  Two Blue Velvet alums, the rest of us had some knowledge of DL as an off the wall movie maker. We were all totally into it each week. We attracted zero other fans. 

None directly. But maybe when I wear my Twin Peaks shirt or talk or write about them I have influenced people indirectly and they've gone looking for the DVDs later or looked it up on the net, who knows

About a dozen. I think there's only one person who ever really dug it.

oh god -too many to count- especially back in the day.

My mom taped the pilot for me while I worked the after school job and was excited to watch it, but dear old mom said it was really slow and boring.  What the hell does she know?  That old drunk, she better not expect me to take care of her in her old age -I forgive but don't forget.  Anyway, my old VHS tapes became pretty popular in high school with lots of copies being made and more and more fans- we started having the Peaks parties with the donuts, pies, coffee and the hand on the rewind button post show and the debates.  Fun, fun, fun.

College it continued with the tapes and post college.  So many people.

And this past year at work at least three people intently following...

HOWEVER, I don't think anyone post the actual series ending that I got into the show made it all the way through and end it with what the hell happened.  I've never met anyone that talked about the final episode or even remembers it.

One girl at work (who was born in like 1985!!- ouch for me) peeled through the first half of the show this past month -calling me all the time about it- but has now stopped around the James/Evelyn plot.
