"WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN
ABC passed on Mulholland Dr. as a series, reportedly because higher-ups
found it--shock of shocks--too weird. (The network instead went with
Wasteland, the Kevin Williamson-created twentysomething drama that ended
up flaming out after a scant two months on the air.) But based on the
intoxicating narrative groundwork he establishes, there's little doubt
that Lynch could have had another watercooler sensation along the lines
of first-season Peaks. If that series, with its focal families living in
a small town filled with dirty secrets, can be seen as Lynch's take on
the old school TV soap, then all indications suggest that a regular
Mulholland Dr. series would have been his uniquely off-kilter spin on
the slick '90s breed of sudser, with its young, Aaron Spelling-ready
cast members (interestingly enough, Harring toiled for a year on that
producer's short-lived daytime drama Sunset Beach) intertwining in an
apartment complex that--perhaps not so coincidentally--bears eerie
resemblance to the Melrose Place compound."
