[QUOTE="Dom, post: 2885, member: 265"] True. A lot of the American actors wouldn't have been able to be cast at all, though, so we'd likely have had a substantial young Canadian cast in order to facilitate having the bigger names from the USA in the older age group. Somewhere like Vancouver would have been a better place to shoot the series in many ways, because it better matched Snoqualmie. The move to San Fernando Valley in the first regular TV episode is quite jarring. I was 15 when the series arrived in the UK (where it aired on Tuesday night and repeated on Saturday night.) I rewatched the pilot on Saturday night and saw the first regular episode on Tuesday night. It was a kind of an 'uncanny valley' thing: everyone looked slightly different and the lighting was different indoors to match the look of the non-stock scenes outside. I didn't know about things like shooting locations back then or that there was a substantial gap between making the pilot and the series (which is why the younger actors all looked older, had different hairstyles and so on!) My guess is that a 1990 Fox Twin Peaks would have had to reshoot the pilot with a substantially different cast, scale back the number of characters and locations and very possibly solve the Laura Palmer murder in the pilot, with Cooper becoming some sort of appointed investigator into crime and weirdness in the town and across the border. David Lynch would likely not have gone for it. [/QUOTE]
