Twin Peaks is covered in a magazine, Wrapped in Plastic (referring to Laura's body being found in the first show). BTW, I was lucky enough to see Twin Peaks before it aired on TV, in a packed theater at the Palm Springs Film Festival, definitely an experience. Moonlighting, let's see. There was an interesting article in the New York Times, when the show was out. An interesting aspect I recall was that Moonlighting scripts were twice as long as other hour-long scripts, because of all the fast-paced dialogue (often overlapping). I would compare it to the fast talking screwball comedies like Bringing Up Baby and the Philadelphia Story, etc. (ref. Mast, thanks to D. Desser). Comments???? I can it (esp. if you agree). Feel free to e-mail. Take it easy, but take it. Sincerely, Stu L.
