Funny you should put it that way. A year after the demise of Twin Peaks, ABC aired Lynch & Frost's next TV series, which was a Wacky Slapstick Sitcom called On the Air, a behind-the-scenes look at the production of a variety show during the Golden Age of Television. In one ad break during the pilot episode, a clip from the ep was shown with a voice-over that said, "You're probably asking yourself 'Is this the craziest thing I've ever seen on TV?'" (The right answer would be "yes".)

It was a flop, though. ABC aired only three of the seven episodes that were made. Fortunately, all seven were released on a Japanese LD.
