According to Frost and Lynch, Twin Peaks only has 5,000ish people. There are stories that ABC made them change it because small town shows weren’t doing well. I believe in one of the in-universe books, it’s explained the sign painter was drunk and added the extra digit.

So I basically didn't figure out the Tojamura thing when I first saw the show, I thought it was actually a new character, although I knew something was "off." Full disclosure: I'm a Japanese-American, and not spotting the fake may or may not say something about me.

lol I did NOT think that was supposed to be a disguise. Thought the whole thing was part of the bad but intended execution. Considering most yellow/black face has always had that "bad-disguise-that's-fooling-no-one" aesthetic.

I appreciate you're all going through it right now. Sounds like y'all deserved this and last week off too, I wouldn't mind if we just got some extra NBABP on main and silence on the extra shows when life kicks you in the nethers.
