--Mulholland . just for fun

"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."
