Goofs:
Continuity: The fact that there was a year's gap between the filming of the pilot episode and the first season's episode is evident in the different hairstyles sported by some of the cast. Although only a night is meant to have passed between the episodes, James Hurley, Sheriff Truman, and Deputy Brennan all have shorter haircuts by the next day. Donna Hayward, Catherine Martell and Audrey Horne (in particular) all have noticeably longer hair by the next day.See more »

This is the order in which you should watch Twin Peaks
1. The pilot (aka the first episode of the series).
90 minutes. This was filmed in 1989 but aired on TV in April 1990 along with the rest of the first season as a mid-season replacement. When they shot this episode, it was uncertain that it was going to be a series, so Warner Bros demanded that they came up with an ending to it so they could sell it as a direct-to-video film in Europe. It is now known as the European version of the pilot. It has about 20 minutes of footage that's not in the TV version. If you're going to see the series, do NOT see the European version. The rest of the series continues after the TV version. (Some of the scenes in the European version was put in the series' second episode).
2. The first season (7 episodes aka episode 1-7).
45 minutes each. Aired along with the pilot in 1990.
3. The second season (22 episodes aka episode 8-29).
Episode 8: 90 minutes. Episodes 9-29: 45 minutes each. Aired 1990-1991. The whole series (pilot, season 1, season 2 and the European version of the pilot) is now available in a 10-disc DVD box set.
4. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
130 minutes. A movie made as a prequel to the series. People tend to think that they should see this first, but as it was made and released a year after the final episode aired on TV, you should see this after you've seen the series. Two reasons:
1) there are MAJOR spoilers in this movie. You'd ruin most of the series.
2) you won't understand anything of what's going on if you haven't seen the series first.
Released in 1992, this is available on at least R1 and R2. I recommend R1 because this is the best release yet. A french R2 version is soon to come with (maybe) an hour worth of deleted scenes. If this is true, then it's a joyous time for "peakers" around the world. It would be the first time since 1992 the world gets to see "new" twin peaks material.
