What has brought on this overwhelming emotion of love for this screwball detective show? The fact that they consistently pay homage to all that was awesome about the 80's. Whether it's their commercials (Miami Vice, 'Private Eyes'), their random but apropos references like "Dude, we're in Witness," or their use of 80s icons like Ralph Macchio (who still looks young!), Curt Smith, or the cast of Twin Peaks, they consistently warm my heart.
As I write this, I have just watched the "Dual Spires" episode and is was (as I sigh) great. I was an avid Twin Peaks viewer and am still the proud owner of 2 books - The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer and The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life. My Tapes - as well as the audiotape: Diane... The Twin Peaks Tapes of Agent Cooper. There was so much in this episode that was a complete and clever shout out to the series.
Here's a list of the shout outs I picked up on...
