"From the producer of Angel and Firefly comes Wonderfalls with 9 never aired episodes. Although a recent graduate of Brown University, Jaye Tyler decides to ignore her degree, live in a trailer and work at a tourist gift shop in Niagara Falls called Wonderfalls—-much to the despair of her well-to-do family. But Jaye’s aimless life takes a startling turn after a lion figurine begins talking to her. Her family calls it an "episode," but Jaye knows better. Fearing for her sanity, Jaye nevertheless starts doing exactly what an increasing number of inanimate objects tell her to do and is amazed when her outrageous actions begin changing people’s lives in unexpected ways. "

Summary: A Wonderful Discovery
Comment: Thanks to Netflix, I have discovered this quirky, smart series. It is truly original, which is something that is rare on TV these days. A delight that met its demise far too soon.

Summary: Awesomely awesome!!! Wait is awesomely a word?
Comment: Another fox show cut off in its prime. This series had several actors and actress that have really made it. This series is quirky x 3, over falling water and inanimate objects that talk, wait am I giving too much away? Anyhow, it's basically a story of how everyone is trying to find themselves but they are not always where they think they will be, understand? But how can they be when a bear in a barrel is talking to them or a wax lion for that matter. I dunno, I've watched this series over and over, still I revel in its frivolousness.

Summary: If You Like....
Comment: If you like shows like Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me you will like this series

Summary: Of course
Comment: Of course a show this delightful wouldn't endure.
It says much about some of the state of entertainment when something my husband and I are enjoying is something we turn to each other and say, "Great show, shame it won't last."
Too often, we're right. But thanks to life after death via DVD, we can remain fans of material we recognized as quality and inventive programming. The Andy Partridge theme song, the cinematic visuals, the characters that seem broadly drawn but have more going on, it all adds up to magic.
I'm very happy to own Wonderfalls. I still remain dazzled by the fact that this gem escaped notice.

Summary: Wonderful Wonderfalls
Comment: I just recently discovered "Pushing Daisies" which, of course, lead to the discovery of "Wonderfalls." I just finished watching the DVD set, and I am just heartsick that the show is not only gone, but it's been gone for a while. SIgh. On the positive side, that last show was a good one - you could even pretend that it tied up a few loose strings. You could also pretend it was a mini-series with a happy ending. Does that work? Sort of, but not really. Oh, well, I'll look forward to the "Pushing Daisies/Wonderfalls" crossover in a few weeks. And maybe I can find an orange Mold-o-rama lion somewhere.
