Episode titles
For the original series, creators David Lynch and Mark Frost assigned no episode titles, only episode numbers. When the series aired in Germany, titles were assigned, which were then translated to English. The episodes are untitled on the DVD sets, but the titled episodes appear on the official Twin Peaks CBS website when streaming the episodes.[50] Episode 2, known as "Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer" is also known as "Zen and the Art of Killer-Catching". When the last two episodes aired in Germany, they were aired as a single broadcast, with only the last episode being assigned a title. Fans then decided to title the episode "Miss Twin Peaks", which is what it is titled on the CBS website. When the second-to-last episode was re-run in 1996, it was assigned a title, which translated to "The Night of the Decision".[51][52]

Special Agent Dale Cooper will enjoy his last cup of coffee and a farewell doughnut on June 10, when "Twin Peaks" ends its second and almost certainly final season on ABC....ABC, as though intent on killing off the series, scheduled it on Thursday nights, opposite the top-rated Cheers. When ratings fell, the show was moved to the back water of Saturday night. In February, ABC took it off the air altogether for five weeks, then moved it back to Thursday nights.
