A Wonderful Discovery.

Rating: 5
Thanks to Netflix, I have discovered this quirky, smart series. It is truly original, which is something that is rare on TV these days. A delight that met its demise far too soon.

Another fox show cut off in its prime. This series had several actors and actress that have really made it. This series is quirky x 3, over falling water and inanimate objects that talk, wait am I giving too much away? Anyhow, it's basically a story of how everyone is trying to find themselves but they are not always where they think they will be, understand? But how can they be when a bear in a barrel is talking to them or a wax lion for that matter. I dunno, I've watched this series over and over, still I revel in its frivolousness.

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.

Wonderful Wonderfalls.

Rating: 5
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.
