Definitely my favorite show. Confusing and strange enough it gets you really thinking, fun enough that you can laugh. A great mystery for those that like to try to figure things out themselves. Also, wonderful videography!

This series is totally under-appreciated! Its cast givs new meaning 2 the concept of 'ensemble'. David Lynch is quirky, but -so- utterly creativ!
