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.

Summary: Wonderfalls
Comment: One of my favorite series of all times. I sought it out initially because I am a Tracie Thoms fan. Campy characters that you can't help but root for. By the end of it you will be singing along to the theme song.

Summary: Before Pushing Daisies there was Wonderfalls
Comment: This is a great show - well worth seeing. The cast is great and the stories very clever. A shame that it was canceled so early. It has the same quirkiness that Pushing Daisies has with a more down to earth style though. I rented it and quickly realized that I'd want to rewatch several episodes so I bought the set and am very glad I did.

Summary: Fabulous Amazing one of the best shows ever
Comment: Wonderfalls is completely new to me, as in I hadn't even heard of the show untill very recently. I ran across this one while serching shows similiar to my current favorite series Pushing Daisies Pushing Daisies - The Complete First Season So I rented it, and now I must own it. Put it this way I watched all 13 episodes in like a day and a half, I was floored I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this show. Every episode is better then the last, and so funny I laughed until I was coughing many times. Wonderfalls is one of those rare shows that only come around once in a while, where everything just seems to fit, and there's absolutely nothing you would change about the series. I'm sort of relieved that I missed the show when it aired, it disgusts me when brilliant shows like this one are passed over in favor of um...lets say shows that are more flash and less brain. Also, I got to miss out on the frustration of an incomplete story. I never saw the few episodes that aired, So I got to experience the series as a whole the way it was meant to be seen. I worried slightly over there being only 13 episoeds, thinking that when the credits roled on the finale I would feel like nothing was resolved and that I had wasted my time and money. Happily though, this was not the case. At the emd I was very satisfied there was and end, but not an ending. As though the story would go on to what ever end a viewer choose, even if they wern't there to see it. I love shows that end this way. I really can't say enough good things about this series. If you want to be seriously entertained, and have a slightly twisted sense of humor. then Wonderfalls is a must see again and again.

"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.
