During my last viewing of Twin Peaks, I was really curious about what brand of cigarettes were being smoked by Donna Hayward as she chatted with Maddy Ferguson in the Double R Diner. Here’s a look at how I identified this prop and made replicas for my ever-growing prop collection.
The original airing of Twin Peaks in 1990 captured the attention of the world, television critics included. While researching about my favorite series, I discovered Walt Belcher, former TV critic for The Tampa Tribune, who not only loved the show but also orchestrated a look-a-like contest in August and September 1990. Here’s a look back at…
Ten years ago, back in 2011, Twin Peaks fandom felt like a secret society. The show was just hitting Netflix, inviting a new generation of viewers along with lapsed fans to dive in. The Gold Box DVD had been released a few years prior, and there simply wasn’t much going on aside from a couple…

My analysis on Twin Peaks on home video continues with a look at the Laserdisc release of the International Pilot in the United States. Like their close cousins vinyl album covers, Laserdisc cover artwork offered a fantastic canvas to present some stunning artwork. This may be one of my favorite packaging designs from all of the…
With a look for every occasion, Dr. Jacoby is objectively Twin Peaks’ snappiest dresser. He debuts one of his most memorable ensembles early in the first season.
