Stars: Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook
Votes: 215,358
Ground-breaking and ahead of its time, Twin Peaks never got the chance to realize its full potential. TP is a shining example of how a network's involvement and obstruction of the writers creativity and storytelling can ruin a show, i.e. forcing the reveal of the main mystery too soon ultimately led to the convuluted plotlines and ratings drop and consequently the demise of the show. TP has had an immense influence on TV and film from the moment it graced to screen.
