Question: Northwest Passage is a 26-episode half-hour adventure television series, about an American colonial frontiersman, who served in the British army during what?
Context: Northwest Passage is a 26-episode half-hour adventure television series produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer about Major Robert Rogers during the time of the French and Indian War (1756–1763).  The show derived its title and the main characters Rogers, Towne, and Marriner from the 1937 novel of the same name by Kenneth Roberts, and from the 1940 MGM feature film based on the novel.  The scope of the novel was much broader than that of the series, and the second half of the book included an historically based attempt by Rogers to find a water route through North America as a "passage" to the Pacific Ocean.  This attempt, lending its name to the novel and used by Roberts as a metaphor for the questing human spirit, is referenced in the first episode. The pilot episode, also known as Northwest Passage, of the mystery television series "Twin Peaks" premiered on the ABC Network on Sunday, April 8, 1990.  It was written by series creators Mark Frost and David Lynch, and directed by Lynch.  The pilot follows the characters of Dale Cooper and Harry S. Truman as they investigate the death of popular high school student Laura Palmer; Cooper believes the murder has connections to a murder case that occurred a year earlier.  In addition to setting the tone for the show, the episode sets up several character and story arcs and marked the appearance of several recurring characters.  The episode received a strong Nielsen household rating compared to other season one episodes and was well received by fans and critics alike.
