It was ABC Television day on Saturday, Jan. 6, 1990 during the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. Between 8:05 – 9:45 a.m., ABC shared the broadcast version of the pilot via closed circuit television in each of the hotel room at Registry Hotel (now Hilton Universal) in Universal City, CA. It was the third show screened that morning following the short-lived The Marshall Chronicles, and a five-minute preview of America’s Funniest Home Videos. A Twin Peaks -specific conference was held at 3:15 p.m. that afternoon with Peggy Lipton, Richard Beymer, Michael Ontkean, Piper Laurie, Kyle MacLachlan and Mark Frost in attendance.
