What is THE LEMURIANS?
1a. Lynch’s first television series was a collaboration with Mark Frost, called, THE LEMURIANS. Very little is known about the unproduced series, except that it dealt with detectives who traveled around the country in a big, black English taxi cab, disguised as a jazz band. Their mission: to investigate alien presences. (Think Blues Brothers meets the X-Files – yeah, I know blues and jazz are different, but…) Part of the detectives method for uncovering aliens was to place ads in newspapers. The ad is a blank face that the reader is suppose to draw eyes on, then mail to the detectives. Apparently, they had the ability to determine if the artist is an alien by examining how the eyes are drawn on the face.
