Monsterpiece Theater Presents “Twin Beaks”
It’s a slow news day, so I’m going to be a little more self-indulgent than usual today…
Seeing that we’re still celebrating the 20th anniversary of Twin Peaks, I thought I’d post one of my favorite blasts from the pasts. People tend to forget that during it’s first season, Twin Peaks was not only the highest rated show on television, but a cultural phenomenon. A quick YouTube search will find you all sorts of wonderful parodies, both new and old, but my personal favorite is still Sesame Street‘s “MonsterpieceTheater” episode with Alistair Cookie. Not only is it a riot for Peaks freaks (and mostly confusing for everybody else), but it’ll also lead you to spend an entire lunch hour watching old episodes of “Monsterpiece Theater”.* Enjoy!

How in the WORLD would children get this!
The crazier thing is, Logan, we probably watched this skit as children [because all we watched was Sesame Street] and had NO IDEA.
Classic.
