Invitation to Love also plays an important part in the narrative, with some of the events in the fictional soap opera mirroring or complementing what is taking place in Twin Peaks, so it's not there is an afterthought. Like you say, it is (at least I think so anyway) sometimes intentionally camp or silly as that only heightens the horror when Bob attacks or when Windom Earle is at his most sadistic.
