despite what your common sense may tell you, the last year of the 80's was 1990. we all went through this argument at the new millennium (it was 2001, not 2000. you can look it up.).
using that i'll double shoehorn the fantastically weird and creative first season of twin peaks into this discussion of bad tv. it was one of the best things network tv ever gave us. log lady's and cherry pies.
the descent into whatever the second season was i blame on bad acid and abc's insistence that a killer be identified. but even that can't take away the thrill of seeing the uncompromising weirdness of david lynch on network tv.
