At first uncooperative, Jaye eventually breaks down after they inflict on her various forms of passive coercion, such as keeping her awake all night by singing, and harassing her with their messages when she is around others, forcing her to accede in order to avoid appearing crazy. She avoids her loving - and overbearing - family, whose successes she seems determined not to emulate, spending most of her time at The Barrel, a local bar at which her best friend, Mahandra, is a cocktail waitress.ĭespite being extremely caustic and a deliberate underachiever, Jaye's life takes an odd turn when various muses, in the form of animal objects, begin talking to her and delivering cryptic instructions.

The same summer, the British network Sky1 picked up Wonderfalls and aired the series to completion, though not in the original intended episode order. Wonderfalls was aired by the digital cable network Logo in the summer of 2005. Immediately after the show's cancellation, its producers attempted to interest other networks, including The WB, in picking up the series and some episodes were shown in theatres in Los Angeles during the summer of 2004 in order to raise support for the series.Īll 13 episodes of Wonderfalls were aired to completion for the first time on Canada's VisionTV beginning in October 2004. A campaign spearheaded by fans (and an accompanying website) was launched, and several members of the cast and crew visited the site and encouraged the grassroots support. ĭespite its cancellation Wonderfalls developed a loyal fan base. A fifth episode was advertised but never aired. There was little notice or promotion of the time change, and FOX subsequently canceled the show after airing the fourth episode. The pilot episode, "Wax Lion", received a higher Nielsen rating when it was repeated the Thursday after its premiere, and the show was moved from a Friday night time slot to Thursday. When it finally debuted in March 2004 on the FOX network, Wonderfalls received positive reviews from critics, but had trouble attracting viewers. Originally scheduled to debut in the fall of 2003, its premiere was delayed until early 2004. It was created by Bryan Fuller and Todd Holland and executive produced in partnership with Tim Minear. The series was an American production, filmed in Niagara Falls, Ontario and Toronto, Ontario (standing in for Niagara Falls, New Yorkand environs), with several Canadian actors cast in lead roles (including the show’s star).
