Twin Peaks is an American mystery horror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch that premiered on April 8 , 1990 , on ABC . Declining ratings led to its cancellation after its second season in 1991 . It nonetheless gained a devoted cult following and has been referenced in a wide variety of media . In subsequent years , Twin Peaks is often listed among the greatest television series of all time , and is considered a landmark turning point in television drama . The series follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper ( Kyle MacLachlan ) and local Sheriff Harry S. Truman ( Michael Ontkean ) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer ( Sheryl Lee ) in the fictional rural town of Twin Peaks , Washington . The show 's narrative draws on elements of detective fiction , but its uncanny tone , supernatural elements , and campy , melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draw on American soap opera and horror tropes . Like much of Lynch 's work , it is distinguished by surrealism , offbeat humor , and distinctive cinematography . The score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch . The success of the show sparked a media franchise , and the series was followed by a 1992 feature film , Twin Peaks : Fire Walk with Me , that serves as a prequel to the series . Additional tie-in books were also released . Following a hiatus of over 25 years , the show returned in 2017 with a third season on Showtime , marketed as Twin Peaks : The Return and Twin Peaks : A Limited Event Series . The season was directed by Lynch and written by Lynch and Frost , and starred many original cast members , including MacLachlan .
Laura Palmer is a fictional character in the Twin Peaks franchise . She is portrayed by Sheryl Lee and was created by the series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost . She first appears in the ABC original series Twin Peaks .

Laura also appears in the novels , Twin Peaks : The Return ( 2017 ) , and a variety of merchandise based on the series .
Madeleine Maddy Ferguson is a fictional character in the Twin Peaks franchise . She was created by the series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost and portrayed by Sheryl Lee . Introduced in the fourth episode of the first season , Maddy is Laura Palmer 's cousin who comes to Twin Peaks to help her aunt and uncle cope with the death of their daughter . Over the course of the series , Maddy forms a close friendship with Donna Hayward and James Hurley , Laura 's closest friends , and assists them in their investigation into her death . Originally , she was not intended to be a part of the series but was created by David Lynch so that Lee could have a larger role in the series .

Guinevere ( /ˈɡwɪnɪvɪər/ ( listen ) GWIN-iv-eer ; Welsh : Gwenhwyfar pronunciation ( help·info ) ; Breton : Gwenivar ) , often written as Guenevere or Guenever , is the wife and queen of King Arthur in the Arthurian legend . Guinevere has been portrayed as everything from a villainous and opportunistic traitor to a fatally flawed but noble and virtuous lady . She has first appeared in Geoffrey of Monmouth 's Historia Regum Britanniae , a pseudo-historical chronicle of British history written in the early 12th century , and continues to be a popular character in the modern adaptations of the legend . In the later medieval romances , one of the most prominent story arcs is Queen Guinevere 's tragic love affair with her husband 's chief knight and friend , Lancelot , indirectly causing the death of Arthur and many others and the downfall of the kingdom . This story first appeared in Chrétien de Troyes 's Lancelot , the Knight of the Cart and became a major motif in the Lancelot-Grail of the 13th century , carrying through the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d'Arthur .

Mary Draper Ingles ( 1732 - February 1815 ) , also known in records as Mary Inglis or Mary English , was an American pioneer and early settler of western Virginia . In the summer of 1755 , she and her two young sons were among several captives taken by Shawnee after the Draper 's Meadow Massacre during the French and Indian War . They were taken to Lower Shawneetown at the Ohio and Scioto rivers . Ingles escaped with another woman after two and a half months and trekked 500 to 600 miles , crossing numerous rivers , creeks , and the Appalachian Mountains to return home . Two somewhat different accounts of Mary Draper Ingles ' capture and escape , one written by her son John Ingles , and the other by Letitia Preston Floyd , an acquaintance , are the two primary sources from which the story is known . The story became well-known following the 1855 publication of William Henry Foote 's account in Sketches of Virginia : Historical and Biographical , based on Mary 's son 's manuscript . It was further publicized in 1886 with the publication of an embellished version in John P. Hale 's Trans-Allegheny pioneers : historical sketches of the first white settlements west of the Alleghenies .

Mary Alice Young ( previously Angela Forrest ) is a fictional character from the ABC television series Desperate Housewives . The character was created by television producer and screenwriter Marc Cherry and is portrayed by Brenda Strong , who also serves as the narrator of the series from beyond the grave ; the character 's suicide in the pilot episode served as the catalyst of the series . The narration provided by Mary Alice is essential to the tale of Wisteria Lane , as the series revolves around her sharing the secrets of her friends and neighbors . Her narration technique is akin in style to Edgar Lee Masters ' Spoon River Anthology ( 1915 ) . Mary Alice is considered the most mysterious of the housewives as only parts of her story are known . A loving , doting wife and mother who was generous to her family and neighbours , she was the last person any of them expected to commit suicide . In death , Mary Alice sees things she would not have seen when she was alive : her friends ' vulnerabilities , lies , and secrets . She does not judge them so much as love them more because of their foibles , pitying them for the ways they manipulate and hurt those they care about most . Although deceased since the pilot episode , Mary Alice continued to have a leading storyline throughout the first and second seasons of the series , with the story being led by her husband Paul Young ( Mark Moses ) and son Zach ( Cody Kasch ) . Thereafter , Strong continued to make sporadic appearances as Mary Alice in flashbacks , dreams and as a ghost to other characters while narrating almost every episode of the series . Strong was the subject of acclaim for both her portrayal and narration as the character , with some critics describing her voice as one of the most recognizable on television at the end of the series . She was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for her narration as Mary Alice and received two Screen Actors Guild Awards as a cast member of Desperate Housewives .
One Tree Hill is an American drama television series created by Mark Schwahn , which premiered on September 23 , 2003 , on The WB . After the series ' third season , The WB merged with UPN to form The CW , and from September 27 , 2006 , the series was broadcast by The CW in the United States until the end of its run in 2012 . The show is set in the fictional town of Tree Hill in North Carolina and initially follows the lives of two half-brothers , Lucas Scott ( Chad Michael Murray ) and Nathan Scott ( James Lafferty ) , who compete for positions on their school 's basketball team , and the drama that ensues from the brothers ' romances . Most of the filming took place in and around Wilmington , North Carolina . Many of the scenes were shot near the battleship USS North Carolina and on the University of North Carolina Wilmington campus . The first four seasons of the show focus on the main characters ' lives through their high school years . With the beginning of the fifth season , Schwahn advanced the timeline by four years to show their lives after college , and he made it jump a further fourteen months from the end of the sixth to the start of the seventh season . The opening credits were originally accompanied by the song I Do n't Want to Be by Gavin DeGraw . The theme was removed from the opening in the fifth season ; Schwahn said that this was to lower production costs , to add more time for the storyline , and because he felt that the song was more representative of the core characters ' adolescent past than their present maturity . The credits then consisted only of the title written on a black background . The theme was restored for season 8 , in response to audience demand , and was sung by different artists each week . The series premiered to 2.5 million viewers and rose to 3.3 million in its second week , becoming one of only three shows to rise in their second episode during the 2003-2004 television season .
