It's hard to believe that this was intended to be a television show for ABC. I'm not sure whats harder to believe, that Lynch thought something this bizarre could run on television or that ABC was surprised that it was so bizarre. Either way ABC rejected it which led to Lynch shooting some additional scenes to make it work as a film. Apparently, everyone involved feels it works better this way.
I have searched the internet about this film and am very surprised to see that a fairly large percent of people absolutely hate it. It actually makes them angry and they claim it makes no sense. I really do believe that there is an actual story here and its pretty simple. Once you understand the way Lynch is telling it things start to fall in place...well enough pieces fit for it to be enjoyable for me at least.
I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave a comment.
Enjoy the show!

David Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American filmmaker, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed his own unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", and which is characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. Indeed, the surreal and in many cases violent elements to his films have earned them the reputation that they "disturb, offend or mystify" their audiences.
