…However, despite her curmudgeonly exterior, it is clear that Jaye does take pleasure in being able to help people solve their problems, even if she resents being forced to do good deeds.
She is estranged from her family and revels in it. When not putting in hours at her retail job (she can hardly be considered to work), she hangs out cadging drinks at the bar where Mahandra works or sits in her trailer making fun of the other trailer park denizens. If not actively selfish, she is self-centered. On the surface, Jaye’s character should be off-putting. Throughout the series, different inanimate creatures provide her with instructions (and provide their names to the episode’s titles). When she works against the lion’s instructions, he works to annoy her. As long as Jaye tries to figure out what she needs to do, which goes against every fiber of her self-interested core, the lion leaves her alone. The wax lion turns to Jaye and gives her cryptic instructions. This sets the show’s big concept in motion. In the first episode, an irate customer attempts to return a malformed wax lion, made from a Mold-A-Rama in the store. Jaye’s old high school friend Mahandra (Tracie Thoms) works at a waitress at Jaye’s favorite bar, where Jaye falls for the new bartender, Eric (Tyron Leitso). As you can guess by the naming conventions, Jaye is seen as the black sheep of the family. The supporting cast includes Jaye’s family, parents Karen (Diana Scarwid) and Darren (William Sadler) and siblings Sharon (Katie Finneran) and Aaron (Lee Pace). Wonderfalls focuses on Jaye Tyler (Ana Dhavernas), an under-achiever who is working a dead-end job in a souvenir shop overlooking Niagara Falls. So, what is Wonderfalls and why is it so Wonderful? The Wonderfalls Wax Lion
STREAM WONDERFALLS FULL
The full run aired on Canada’s Vision TV six months after it was cancelled in the United States, where viewers had to wait until the DVD set was released in early 2005 with all the ‘sodes in the correct order.
STREAM WONDERFALLS SERIES
Fortunately, one of the executive producers, Tim Minear, had experience with Fox (he had worked on Firefly), and they had plotted the series to complete a story arc within the 13 episodes initially ordered. After airing the first four episodes out of order, Fox cancelled the show. Six months later, on March 12, 2004, Fox aired the first episode of Wonderfalls, a story about a woman who hears voices giving her tasks to perform. It ran for two seasons and told the story of a woman who was given tasks to perform by God. While 30 Rock ran for seven seasons and 138 episodes, Studio 60 only lasted a single series and 22 episodes.Ī couple years earlier, a similar situation happened when Joan of Arcadia debuted on CBS on September 26, 2003. Three weeks later, on October 11, NBC debuted 30 Rock, an half-hour long comedy built around the production of a weekly comedy sketch show. On September 18, 2006, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, an hour long drama built around the production of a weekly comedy sketch show, debuted on NBC. Sometimes a show’s cancellation is, at least in part, the result of the coincidental similarity with another show. The series also ties into an issue of the Hugo Award winning fanzine Journey Planet I’ve recently published which has appreciations of more than thirty television series that were cancelled within two seasons. In addition to discussing the works, I’ll also note the availability of the works. This is the second article in an occasional series called either Now Streaming or Not Streaming, depending on the availability of the television shows or films I’ll be discussing.
