Twin Peaks (and all other TV programps) are longer in USA (and Japan) than Europe.
Why ?
E L E C T R I C I T Y
In Europe, electric frequency is 50 Hz so 50/2 = 25 frames per second (FPS) on TV
In USA, electric frequency is 60 Hz so 60/2 = 30 but 30 FPS will be very fast on TV, there is a "3/2 pull down system" to reduce the FPS to 24 (24 FPS is the speed in all movie theatres in the world).
Conclusion : the same program is 4% shorter in Europe.
Twin Peaks Return = 17 hours in USA
TPR = 16 hours and 20 minutes in Europe
I've never heard of this before, and I watch a lot of British television.
Granted, it's on DVDs and streaming services here in the states, but an hour-long show in England is an hour-long show in the U.S. Have never heard of or witnessed any time compression occurring.
This is a capture of my computer, french Canal+ on demand episode 12, length : 52:32
I have the american Amazon download on my computer too, episode 12 length : 54:52
French broadcasting is 4% shorter !
This has got to be one of the weirder and more educational conversations I've had the opportunity to witness.

Frame rate compensation allows for the Hz difference between the USA and almost everywhere else. Most stuff is digitally converted so there's little - or no - speed change. The main gripe nowadays is the compression used by various broadcasters. Most of the free channels here have vicious compression, and some of the paid for stuff does have noticeable artifacts at times. Sky Sports is one of the worst offenders.
Gee, does the Lynch / Frost Logo must be taken into account? Now I'm wondering 🙂
Yes. It is part of the show.
Time moves more slowly in the US. The last 9 months have lasted about 4 years.

That would be since the election for POTUS, at a guess.
In Minnesota, the show ended with Dale making out with Annie in Margaret's cabin, which they bought from the estate. It's at the 62:17 mark.

Ah lovely Minnesota. I really must visit again soon.
Let me know. You can read part of my secret diary.

Just avoid the cold weather season October through May. Then the wet season May through June. Lastly the dry season July through mid September. The rest of the year is a great time to visit.
