Welcome to the Wonderfalls guide.

Set against the backdrop of Niagara Falls, Wonderfalls is a quirky one-hour family dramedy about an underachieving twenty-something souvenir shop worker named Jaye Tyler. Her life is forever changed when inanimate figures – including toys, cartoons and anything in the form of an animal, begin to talk to her. In each episode, the creatures' cryptic messages set into motion a chain of unpredictable events that invariably lead Jaye into the lives of others in need. Throughout the series' bizarre situations and madcap adventures, Jaye seeks advice from her best buddy Mahandra and befriends Eric, a local bartender who tries to help answer her unrequited questions. Is the universe conspiring against her? Is this real or just her imagination? Should she struggle with fate or surrender to destiny? Whatever the outcome one thing is for certain - Jaye will discover that the world around her is a magical place and that the seemingly random events in her life are actually all part of something much greater.less «

  I recently bought this show on DVD after hearing how good it was from a friend of mine, Holly (BuffyAnneLove). I fell in love with the show and its characters immediately. In the short time I've been a fan, it's already become one of my all time favorite shows! It is so well acted, written, etc. I can't get enough of it. But now I really can't get enough of it. Ever. Because of FOX, this amazing show no longer airs. They are evil. They have done this exact same thing to so many other shows and it really pisses me off! There are so many great shows, including Wonderfalls, that I would have loved to see where they went and what happened. Unfortunately for me and all the loving viewers like me, the head of FOX seems to be controlled by Satan. This evil network stopped so many great shows before they barely started. How the hell are you supposed to tell if a show will be a hit after THREE EPISODES!!! FOX is evil and purely stupid. Anyone agree? (By the way, just a blind hope here... if FOX were to get a few thousand letters all from different people, do you think they'd maybe consider bringing the show back?)less «

  Just posting this here since no one else did. Exerpts from a recent article. iF: Now you had WONDERFALLS on Fox for a short period of time before it got abruptly cancelled, but you gained PUSHING DAISIES. It must be a bit of a bittersweet feeling. FULLER: Very bittersweet because I loved and the cast. So much so, that I had to do a WONDERFALLS crossover in this season of PUSHING DAISIES. That happens in episode eight of the second season and I'm really excited about it. http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=3042 Any body as super excited as I am???? less «

• Series Finale

  So, I was thinking about getting into the show, but wanted to know (before I did) what the ending was like. Did you guys like it? Did it tie up loose ends? Was everything just left wide open? Or did it end on a cliffhanger? :)

  "...by far the best self-contained single season of television ever created." hide « show »

  Wonderfalls, how we hardly knew ye. A mid-season replacement in early 2004 that went unnoticed, and has sadly faded into obscurity. Getting the full-on Fox treatment, only two episodes ever aired, and these episodes were shown a few more times on different nights and times. The biggest crime is that Wonderfalls was the best series of the year, and is by far the best self-contained single season of television ever created. Other than the facts on record, there's really nothing else that can be said other than to find a way to watch it, and mourn with the rest of us. As can be said about many shows that end prematurely, at least what we have is perfect, and we can be glad that the network never got a chance to stagnate the writers. Wonderfalls is true bliss.

  One of the most underappreciated shows ever. hide « show »

  I can't believe it got canceled! It was original, quirky, funny and cosy. I liked the mood in the series. It was one of those shows that had a good message (helping people), but managed to remain funny and not get too sentimental like for instance, 7th Heaven.
  
  It's not often I like the female characters on TV, because I feel they waste most of the creative writing on men. This was one of the few exceptions for me. Jaye had more personality than what we usually see in women on TV. That was one of the main reasons I liked this show so much, I liked the characters. I have to like the characters on TV in order to feel for them, if I don't like them I just want them to die horribly.
  
  Luckily it had a proper ending at least.

  A quirky story about a girl and a boy and inanimate object talking... hide « show »

  AH Wonderfalls. Another great show which was canned far too early. Set in Niagra Falls, Wonderfalls was the story of Jane Tyler who had a dead end job and lived in caravan. Her life was just passing her by until one day a squashed wax lion figurine started to speak to her and drive her mostly insane to carry out actions which ended up making someone's life better. She falls in love with a bar man who left his wife on his honeymoon because she was cheating on him, in their honeymoon bed, with the waiter. The show should have gone on for longer than 13 episodes, the story was sweet but not sickly and it was always fun watching Jane try and decypher the cryptic clues the objects would tell her to do. The love story was sweet and heartbreaking too. This was another Bryan Fuller classic which went far too early. Let's hope Pushing Daisies doesn't go the same way.

  Excellent, underappreciated show hide « show »

  I didn't expect much out of Wonderfalls. Actually, I haven't even heard of it. It was recommended to me by an online acquaintance. After watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I was looking for another good serial to watch. So, I decided to give Wonderfalls a try.
  
  The premise was interesting, but I was skeptical. The first episode got me hooked, but the second was less than overwhelming. However, each episode just got better and better from there on, until I watched the entire season in just 2 days. It's very corny humour and a show that can't be taken seriously, yet you do take it almost too seriously sometimes. It's like a rollercoaster that takes you on a crazy, insane ride that's unpredictable.
  
  Definitely worth your time and money (if you plan to buy the DVD, which I intend to buy despite the fact that I've already watched the entire season)

  Jaye Tyler is a bright, beautiful underachiever who works in a dead-end job in Niagara Falls. That is, until inanimate animal characters of all types suddenly become animated, and started giving her cryptic messages that drive the action of each episode. hide « show »

  It's a crime that this quirky, very original one-hour sitcom was cancelled. The lead character, Caroline Dhavernas, played Jaye Tyler, a bright, beautiful underachiever who worked in a dead-end job in a Niagara Falls gift shop. She was responsibility and committment-phobic. That is, until inanimate animal characters of all types–stuffed ones, sculpted ones, cartoons, road signs, whatever–suddenly became animated, and started giving her cryptic messages that drove the action of each episode. She always followed the advice, and usually it worked out for the best, when she succeeded in figuring out what it really meant. Only Jaye and the TV viewers could see the animated characters, so we were never really sure whether this was really happening, or a symptom of Jaye's mental Illness. Please bring Wonderfalls back!
