Uncomfortable TV

Let's answer these in reverse order. I don't know how widespread Bravo
is in the States or worldwide, but "Twin Peaks" aired initially, as I recall,
on a major US national network in a timeslot where people were used to
sitting in front of the Toob and watching whatever came their way. Also
as I recall, it enjoyed initially extremely high ratings though these declined
dramatically towards the end; and also that it was most popular on 
its first stateside run on the (densely-populated) coasts, and least popular in
the 
Midwest. So I'd say that, yes, "Twin Peaks" probably did find as 
large an audience as could be expected for something so off-centre.



well, i know for a fact that up here in Southern Ontario (canada, eh?) that TWIN
PEAKS probably had its largest concentration of diehard followers... this was
due in large part to the extensive media coverage it received and the critical
following that developed as well...
