'Twin Peaks' revival sparks interest
------------------------------------
NBC denies resurrection rumor, but notes it's 'a good idea'

Interest continues to brew for a revival of 'Twin Peaks' -- one of 
American popular culture's most influential television shows.

Following a recent rumor that NBC was pitched a new season for the 
show, Jennifer Salke, the network's president of entertainment, stated 
that although the meeting never happened, the idea of bringing it back 
to television carried merit. 'I called everybody when I got the 
email,' Salke told IGN during the TCA press tour. 'None of us had 
gotten a call about that, not from an agent, not from the writer, not 
the head of drama ... so we're wondering the same thing you are. When 
it came up we all looked at each other and said, 'That's a good idea'. 
We were all kind of like, 'Hmm, we like 'Twin Peaks''! So, I'll send 
some emails today, and see what I can get to come in.'

In addition to NBC's denial about a meeting, Frost weighed in on 
Twitter prior to Salke's comment, writing: 'Dear Internet: You are 
very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder 
to come by.' But the flood gates are now open. Fans are on the move, 
hoping to drum up network support, particularly on cable. One Facebook 
group, Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV, has launched a petition at 
ipetitions.com to help fuel the fire.

Created and produced by David Lynch ('Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet') and 
Mark Frost ('Hill Street Blues,' 'Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver 
Surfer'), 'Twin Peaks' ran two seasons from April 1990 to June 1991 on 
ABC. It twisted a simple murder plot device into a bizarre blend of 
supernatural horror, comedy, music, classic movies influences and 
hypnotic madness.

'Twin Peaks' earned 12 Emmy nominations and Golden Globe Awards for 
best dramatic series, best dramatic actor (Kyle MacLachlan) and best 
supporting actress (Piper Laurie). The series was followed in 1992 by 
the film 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me,' which served as both a 
prologue and epilogue. Two later films from Lynch, 'Lost Highway' 
(1997) and 'Mulholland Dr.' (2001), are said to take place in the 
'Twin Peaks' universe. In 2008, 'Twin Peaks' captured a Saturn Award 
for Best Retro Television Series for its The Definitive Gold Box 
Edition DVD.
