Reception



'Newsday' wrote "What an amazing show that was. An irreverent, funny, poignant and violent story about different counterculture people as well as the rich and famous. Different dialogue, different things happening in a show written for adults, by adults.... It really pushed the envelope for NBC. Unfortunately, once [Brandon] Tartikoff threw himself out the door at NBC for Paramount the envelope went with him. "Out of Season" (a.k.a. "Murder in High Places") wound up in the dead-letter file at the new, dull NBC."THE MARVIN KITMAN SHOW A Not-So-Fond Farewell to `Peaks': [ALL EDITIONS]
