I started watching the original Twin Peaks series again (it’s on Netflix), and I forgot how good it is! I’m getting a lot more out of it the 2nd time around and seeing the new series helps explain certain things. But what’s _really_ amazing is all of the Thimbleweed Park similarities I’m seeing! I thought I would list some here, and see if anyone has more to add: - The opening credits has the “Twin Peaks, Population. 51,201” sign - The theme song is played on baritone-guitar (just like the TWP theme) - The R&R diner is reminiscent of the S&D Diner (especially from the outside) - The light outside the roadhouse (when Jacques Renault is in trouble). This one really blew my mind: ![TP_light](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/6/612d1294d2b3611502368ca3a1958f06bd65e611.JPG) ---

And even though they found Laura Palmer in the water, the place where it happened is by the railroad tracks. And replace pillows with logs and you got yours small town industry. The owls are not what they seem = The signals are strong tonight. I believe I watched the entire 2 first seasons thrice and it gets really weird when Nadine gains her superpowers that have no impact on anything and are just a subplot that goes nowhere. ---

I did a double-take on your post, as it reminded me a LOT of the post I made a while back, for the same reason, and with an almost identical photo: > [@Is the new Twin Peaks series good enough?](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/is-the-new-twin-peaks-series-good-enough/898/85): > > Ok, so thanks to a) this topic and b) Thimbleweed Park, I’ve decided to correct a grevious error of my younger self, and finally watch Twin Peaks. I am at the final episode of Season 1 now. I absolutely love it so far. I can see so many Thimbleweed Park influences, all over the show, not the least of which is this blinking red lamp, from S1 Episode 4: The interesting thing is, I had a hard time finding an online photo of that lamp to use, so I needed to play the episode in Netflix on my computer, pause it, and take a screen grab. Did you do the same? ---

This cigarette flick from “Episode 8” (first episode of Season 2) made me laugh, and reminded me of Agent Ray’s opening animation. ---
