Twin Peaks

Steven Spielberg, who was a big fan of the show, was originally set to direct the first episode of the second season before David Lynch decided to direct it himself.

At the beginning of the shooting of the second season, actress Sherilyn Fenn came down with a bad case of pneumonia, making headlines that the shooting of the series might be affected or that she might have to leave the show. As writer/producer Harley Peyton said in an interview: "It looked like it could give us some really serious problems. It turned out all right. She was tremendous and recovered rather quickly and came back sooner than she had to. We had different directors shooting each day and two directors shooting in a single day and, in fact, got all of her scenes done."

The series was originally to be titled "Northwest Passage"
