Editorial Reviews

For a series that Entertainment Weekly called "a revelation," the quirky drama Wonderfalls barely got started before Fox unceremoniously cancelled it. Although 13 episodes were produced -- all of which fans can finally get to see in this set -- only 4 actually aired, culminating with the final telecast on April Fool's Day, 2004. Young Canadian actress Caroline Dhavernas stars as Jaye Tyler, a slacker with an unused philosophy degree who lives in a trailer park and works at a Niagara Falls gift shop, Wonderfalls. She hates her job and her boss, Alec (Neil Grayston) -- whom she nicknames the Mouth Breather -- and has an uncomfortable relationship with her upwardly mobile family: father Darrin (William Sadler), a doctor; mother Karen (Diana Scarwid), an author; sister Sharon (the great Katie Finneran), an immigration attorney; and brother Aaron (Lee Pace), who is close to completing his doctorate in theology. Jaye seems relatively comfortable with all this until, one day at Wonderfalls, a little lion souvenir with a smooshed wax face speaks to her. From that point on, inanimate objects with faces begin to tell her to do things; and she soon realizes that ignoring the directives from sundry brass monkeys, cow-shaped coffee creamers, and the like can wreak havoc on those around her, including best friend Mahandra (Tracie Thoms) and burgeoning love interest Eric (Tyron Leitso). In a brilliant touch, Jaye's tchotchke "muses" impart their information cryptically, so she is never sure exactly what to do. When one advises her to "Get her words out" in the episode "Karma Chameleon," Jaye thinks she must help a girl who stutters, only to find out ultimately that the muse meant something else entirely. The souvenirs keep her busy: In "Wound-Up Penguin," she steers a wayward nun back to the convent; in "Crime Dog," she rescues the family housekeeper; and in "Lovesick Ass," she helps a smitten 12-year-old send his Russian mail-order bride home. Along with bonus features such as commentaries, a documentary, and a featurette, fans will be most happy knowing that the series comes to a definite conclusion with the final satisfying episode, "Caged Bird."

Another Wonderful Show That Didn't Last Long Enoughby Anonymous

July 26, 2009: It seems like all the really good shows don't have a chance to spread their wings. This is a great show; funny, intelligent, different and all around a joy to watch. I loved the off the wall, funny way that this show explored doing the right thing and the consequences of seemingly unrelated events. At least they were able to somewhat wrap it up at the end but I would have loved to see more. A must for anyone who wants to see something different, something entertaining and interesting.

April 20, 2007: I picked up this set off a recommendation from a friend and I was pleasantly surprised. The first few episodes "and, unfortunately, the only ones to make it to air" set up the show to be what it was -- quirky, cute, and downright mean at times, but it isn't until the second disc that the show really grabs your attention and doesn't let go. The talking inanimate objects get pushier, the stories get more complicated, and the hilarity escalates to the extreme, as Jaye tries to please the muses, juggle a personal life, and keep her sanity. Caroline Dhavernas' turn as the underachieving Jaye Tyler is so perfectly played that you can't help but laugh at her blunders and cry at her misfortunes. Along with an amazing supporting cast and smart, witty writing, it's a shame that "Wonderfalls" was cancelled so soon.
