One such project was screwball comedy One Saliva Bubble which sadly also remains unmade but another would be a foray back into Frost’s usual medium. Sadly the project named Goddess was not to be, but the two of them struck up a partnership strong enough to take in other projects. Twin Peaks (1990-91)ĭuring the late 80’s David Lynch worked on an aborted biopic of Marilyn Monroe with TV writer Mark Frost ( Hill Street Blues). Without its initial success it’s doubtful we would have later got The X-Files and shows like Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel which ran with the serial format rather than the more common story of the week. Twin Peaks changed prime time television forever it pushed the limits of what you could show in terms of sex and violence and also changed the way that stories are told in ongoing arcs and plotlines that would last for many episodes. It infected all areas of popular culture and was like the Lost of its day with people hotly debating Who Killed Laura Palmer? The same way they debated the significance of the numbers in Lost. When it debuted the series was huge, I mean huge. Perhaps the thing that David Lynch is best known for in the mainstream is the television series Twin Peaks which ran from summer 1990 until spring 1991.
