Wonderfalls TV Series 2004

Jaye Tyler is a loner living in Niagara Falls who after graduating college has fallen into a carefree comfortable rut living in a trailer park and working as a retail clerk in the Falls souvenir shop of Wonderfalls that is until the souvenirs and anything in the world with an anamorphic face starts talking to her insisting she do things in cryptic single sentence messages or there will be dire consequences (or at least lack of sleep). When followed the resulting pingpong effect appears to be the work of a divine plan but soon Jaye becomes smitten with a local bartender and the figurines are telling her to do things that go against every fiber of her being. A reluctant savior Jayes hand is forced into the lives of others and befuddles her family in a fight that may not just cost her comfortable life and a budding romance but her sanity.

Review

I love TV if you can make me laugh and think at the same time thats even better. This show did that. The great (timeless) story of a modern day Joan Of Ark. The use of fairly unknown stars. The perfect social commentary on the young adults of today. The awesome comedic timing made this show one of my favs (I bought the DVD the day hit hit the shelf). And Id never thought that I would say this but I have never related to a character as much as I did to Jaye. I too am a twentysomething who happens to be a proud card carrying member of Gen Why I too have been educated but I work at a dead end job with no real need to excel or stand out. I too have been known to be a little cold towards the general public. But once again Fox canned it and took away another comedy that was to smart to be a comedy (Arrested Development). Upside is there are the DVDs. If you have never seen it check it out and if you have watch it again.
