ReganRebecca I only started watching Wonderfalls after it was cancelled. I know that show runner Bryan Fuller had plans already laid out for multiple seasons but at the same time the show works perfectly on it's own and comes to a satisfying conclusion.The show is about Jaye, the baby in a family of overachievers (and the only one in her family who doesn't have a rhyming name, to emphasize how much she doesn't belong). To the complete befuddlement of her family Jaye works a dead-end retail job, lives in a trailer park and mostly avoid them. That is until one day Jaye begins hearing voices telling her to do things. The voices always belong to an inanimate toy or object with a face on it and though they offer her no explanation for the tasks the coerce her to perform their actions often lead, in befuddling and confusing ways, towards good. There isn't a lot of explanation to the why's and hows of how Jaye hears voices but they aren't needed. The entire cast is perfect. Caroline Dhavernas is great as Jaye, Tyron Leitso is great as a heartbroken bartender who quickly becomes her love interest. The members of her family aren't a good physical match for Dhavernas, but they really do seem like a family and are all hilarious at physical comedy. There are also so many fabulous guest stars that just completely own their episodes. It's a great, funny, smart show that perfectly works as a whole. If only there could be more series as great as this one.
Rectangular_businessman This was a fantastic show . It was quite funny and clever ,and it have hilarious moments as much as dramatic and touching parts . The story focus in Jaye Tyler , a cynical girl that is unhappy with all in her life : her work ,her relationship with her family ,and almost all about her . Suddenly ,one day , inanimate start to talk to her ,saying cryptic comments .At first she believes that she became crazy ,but soon she realizes that the advices given by the things start to help her , and soon in that way she starts to help people , and starts to be closer with her family . The performances are pretty good , and the characters are very likable . From the same creators of "Malcolm in the Middle " , we have here a interesting original show that it's very enjoyable and unpredictable . Excellent .
MelJJ123 It's so rare to find a WOW show on TV. Especially a WOW with heart, wit, and passion! And that was Wonderfalls. I stumbled upon this amazing show by pure accident (or was it :) I had not heard about it when it was originally on FOX, but then I don't really get involved in many new shows these days. Anyway, during a night of channel surfing and multi-tasking I stopped momentarily on a random cable station. I can't even say that I was paying attention to the TV, but for some reason, within a few minutes of having it on in the background, I found myself drawn into what I would later learn was: Wonderfalls! I thought to myself... wow, what is this show?! It's quirky, it's refreshingly different, I strangely liked the characters immediately! Afterwards, I wrote down the name of the show, did a little research and surprisingly learned that Wonderfalls had its own little cult following. (Very much deserved btw). Now, I don't normally... or ever, buy a TV series on DVD... especially for a show that i've only seen 1 episodes of.. but after that one little taste of Wonderfalls, I had the distinct feeling that I would and could be hooked. Well fast forward months later, and having just finished watching the entire series on DVD, I can honestly say that I loved every single episode, and I'm really sad it's over! I thought the writing was strikingly smart, the characters were all portrayed brilliantly, and the chemistry between Jaye and Eric -- just spark after spark after spark! I'm convinced that this show could have been a huge hit with proper marketing and scheduling. Quality doesn't come around often, but this was the real deal. What a WASTE. If you haven't seen it yet, buy the DVD!
horus1775 I'm on a hill in the middle of nowhere in Iraq and one guy from my squad pops in the first episode of the show. At first I thought it was a stupid chick show and I was about to make fun of him. But, then the girl started to hear the wax lion talk to her. I thought it was crazy, yet funny. The show could have been really corny yet it was too clever for that. The dialogue is hilarious, the actors are perfect and the show's delivery is superb. Now, there's other things we can do during our few hours of downtime, like playing xbox or watching paint dry in 115 degree heat. But, I found myself enthralled w/ this show and couldn't stop watching it. I couldn't believe it was canceled. What a mistake. I probably would have watched TV back in the states if I knew this show was still on the air. Unlike some people, I hate reality shows. So, after I watched the entire season and the extras, I bought my own copy of the show from Amazon. I plan to watch it again w/ my wife when I'm home for leave. She's into the Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven and all that girly crap but this show will be a happy medium btw us. Even though Wonderfalls was suppose to be a TV show, it felt like it was a 9 hour movie...and I loved every minute of it.
