La
prima webzine
dedicata a Twin Peaks
http://www.wowbobwow.com/home.html?flash
The
publishers of Wow Bob Wow present an in-depth Twin
Peaks magazine - here on the Web!
Before you go on to the webzine itself (at the bottom
of the navigational menu to the left of the screen),
feel free to explore the website that houses it!
You
can see that the features include a News section,
for updates to the site as well as the webmasters'
comments on anything that happens to be going on at
the moment.
There's also an Episode Guide, detailing every episode
of the Twin Peaks TV series. There are pages on the
main Players of Twin Peaks, and a bio of each of the
two Creators.
We
also included a Desktop resource, which should include
wallpapers, screensavers, and desktop icons. And maybe
some other stuff too.
If none of this satisfies you, we provided you with
a few Links. We wouldn't want you to leave unfulfilled!
The
main feature, of course, is the Webzine itself! Linked
from the main site is the most recent issue of Wow
Bob Wow. Each issue contains a Contents page, a guide
to what's in the issue itself. Also in each edition
is a 'Back Issues' page, where you can link to any
previous issues of the 'zine - so you won't have to
miss out on a thing!
Best of all, folks, is that it's free. No memberships,
no fees, and no missing an issue! Each article in
the 'zine also has a 'printable version', in the event
you require a hard copy to take with you wherever
you go.
So
what are you waiting for? Go, explore. We guarantee
you'll leave saying:
Wow
Bob Wow!

So
here's the story folks.
This is our last issue - for now. We just can't go
on any more (for further info, see JD's Smackdown
at the end of this ish), and that has made it hard
to get this edition out the door. It's been floundering
around for some time now (far too long, really) but
it's finally here now.
I
wish we could have made it our best issue ever. But,
well... we're far too lazy for that. So here's an
issue for you that really, really is an issue of "Wow
Bob Wow", and that is definitely the truth.
We
could have some elegant, elegiac eulogy here (ah,
alliteration how I love thee), but instead I'm giving
you a stuttering, straight introduction. And a rant
to end the issue.
I
have good news. That gum you like has come back in
style.

The
Art of Television
TV has a bad rap.
Even among those who appreciate and enjoy the art
form (or "entertainment form") of film,
television is often considered in general to be the
lowest form of such entertainment - often due to the
processes by which any television show must make it
to air (going through the networks, manhandled by
moneymakers who strip a story of all artistic merit
before it can reach the screens). And yet television
lingers as probably our most popular form of entertainment.
Why? Many reasons
of course - the sheer amount of programming (especially
with cable) being primary, and the low cost (free,
for the broadcast networks at least) being another.
But does this mean that television is necessarily
a cheap and mindless thrill, designed specifically
to enthrall the masses with shallow but hypnotic empty
images?
Of course not.
Despite the common disdain shown towards TV (often
by those who watch it most) there have been numerous
shows which rose above any other popular art form,
in both quality and popularity. Chief among these,
naturally, is Twin Peaks.
Indeed, in many
ways television (especially serial, or semi-serial,
television) is one of the most potent forms of storytelling
there is. This article presents a look at serial storytelling
on the small screen, and why it can be so effective
when done right.
