A show canceled before it's time. Only one season and 13 episodes, FOX did another great up job of canceling yet another descent and unique show (Prematurely canceled FOX shows: Firefly, Undeclared, Arrested Development, Family Guy, etc). Wonderfalls is a story of an ivy league educated girl named Jaye working at shop at Niagara Falls, and one day toys with heads start talking to her in blatant demands and one subtle hints. Her comments, attitude, and overall demeanor are comparable to Daria, Veronica Mars, Juno: the basic modern sarcastic, yet caring girls. It's a story of magical sequence of consequences, similar to that of Pushing Daises but without the brilliant artfulness of costumes or colorful stories
both do have Lee Pace, sigh.
Review after finishing the series: Wonderfalls is unique but not inspiring, the people Jaye (main character) ends up helping in each episode are annoyingly creepy and general jerks. It doesn't have the helping feel of Leverage or the The Pretender, since it is a comedic show. But if the universe of talking animal heads are giving you hints, at least help those that really need it. After a few episodes I got annoyed at the simple outline of her misreading the hints that the universe give her. But quite honestly, Leverage and The Pretender alright most shows have a basic outline. It also doesn't help that I watch shows back to back to back until I finish the series or at least one season.
Despite that little disgruntle with the show, Wonderfalls is a touching comedy of a sarcastic no care, uninspired, family avoiding girl who slowly learns humanity: the value of family and friendship with each adventure of helping people. Overall it's a funny and charming show, that should not of been canceled.
