[QUOTE="eyeboogers, post: 3113, member: 89"] In the years between "Twin Peaks" and "Buddy Faro" there were several Mark Frost projects that almost made it to network television. One was the spy drama "The Repair Shop". And apparently they had shot several episodes before the network decided to drop the project entirely. In this [URL='https://www.avclub.com/phillip-noyce-on-the-road-from-underground-films-to-tom-1798270508']Interview with Philip Noyce[/URL] the director of the pilot tells a bit about what happened: [B]AVC: There was one pilot you worked on that never got aired—[I]The Repair Shop[/I]. It was a show created by Mark Frost, who did [I]Twin Peaks [/I]and [I]On The Air[/I]. PN: [/B]Anthony Lapaglia played an operative working for a division of the CIA that was off the map. They had turned on him, and killed his family, and the story was about him tracking down all of the members of this clandestine CIA operation and seeking revenge. The problem with it is that they decided to make the second episode the pilot. For whatever reason. So when it test-screened, [the audience] hadn’t seen the set-up. I don’t think they’ve repeated that experiment since. It’s hard to get someone excited about a guy who’s seeking revenge when you don’t what’s motivating him. [/QUOTE]
