Following the news that the Twilight Zone would be making its return to television, the rumor mills started a'churning. One of the more prevalent resultant rumors was that Twin Peaks, the weird CBS mystery series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, was being revived by the network. Nobody's sure where the rumor came from (probably a giant in a dream), but it was confirmed on Friday that there's no truth to it.
That confirmation came from none other than Mark Frost himself, who took to Twitter to quash the rumors. "Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by. Sincerely yours, @mfrost11," he wrote.
Well, it looks like that solves it, I guess -- unless you want to read into the tweet that there is a "more valuable" truth about a Twin Peaks revival.
I personally would have liked to see Twin Peaks return -- I've recently started watching the series, and though I'm aware of the apparently disappointing ending, the show is such surrealist fun that's rarely seen on television anymore. In fact, I've only seen such surrealism on the FX series Louie -- which featured a guest arc from Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch.
What do you think? Would you have liked to see Twin Peaks brought back to life?

Haha, that was brilliant :)
Twin Peaks was one of a kind. I don't think we'll ever see anything like it again (it's been 25 years, and there was nothing!) Maybe it's even a good thing? The style and everything else about the show was fantastic, I'd definitely love seeing something similar again. But it wouldn't have to be a revival of the Twin Peaks. Something new would be good, too.
Omg yes, as disappointing as the end of the show was Twin Peaks was an epic series
