Who killed Laura Palmer? Why is the FBI here? Where can a man find a good cup of coffee? Infamous questions from David Lynch's cult classic Twin Peaks. This week the complete series became available in a gold box that should have Lynch buffs salivating, for this marks the first time the pilot (arguably the best episode) has been released on DVD.

When Twin Peaks first aired on Easter Sunday 1990 it sparked a sensation throughout TV land. The shows quirky kitsch, combined with the murder-mystery melodrama, provided plenty of fodder for water cooler conversation. Ratings soared throughout the first season, climaxing at finale. Twin Peaks was innovative in bringing a certain cinematic quality to television in an era when three networks ruled prime-time, thus, paving the way for shows such as Northern Exposure, X-Files, Picket Fences and most recently Lost. But the primal sense of wonder and intrigue that Twin Peaks introduced has yet to be replicated to effect. Unfortunately, the second season didn't enjoy the same success, as many felt the show deviated once the central mystery was - for all intents and purposes - solved.

This is all talked about very candidly on the documentaries available in this edition. Everything from the casting process to the music is covered in supplemental materials which include interviews from the entire cast and key crew. Also on this disc is A Slice of Lynch, an intriguing dialogue between David Lynch, Kyle MacLachlan and Madchen Amick, looking back at their experiences filming the show.

All the episodes have undergone remastering supervised by Lynch, which provides a far superior picture than the original season one DVDs released by Republic Pictures several years ago. Also housed in the gold-plated DVDs are deleted scenes, promotional spots, postcards, an interactive Twin Peaks map and the Saturday Night Live sketch from when Kyle MacLachlan hosted.

If you've bought the two previous sets before, they're worth holding on to as there are some extras not brought over, such as the commentaries. But all-in-all it's so comprehensive, the only thing I wished they added was my first introduction to Twin Peaks, the Sesame Street parody Twin Beaks. But I'll provide that for you below. Although the retail price is $99.99, many stores have it on sale this week for much less, so get it now, grab a slice of cherry pie, and wander into the dark, beautiful world that is Twin Peaks.
