The short-lived and much loved series gets a UK screening.
Our favourite cancelled-before-its-time show will be screened on Sky One from Tuesday 5 July.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Wonderfalls told the story of souvenir store worker Jaye, who starts receiving instructions from normally inanimate objects.
Four episodes were screened before it was canned, but all thirteen were released on DVD Stateside.

Quick plug for the show - it`s on at 9pm on July 5th, and all 13 episodes will be shown - though not on the same night. ;)
Looks like one for the Joan of Arcadia fans, I think it drew comparisons with that show originally. :thumbsup:

This is one I want to watch but it clashes with Cutting It at the mo. I'll have to try and catch one of the repeats until CI finishes :rolleyes:

If it follows the same rules as Dead Like Me, that was in that slot, there should be a repeat later in the week I think :unsure: If not, I may just give in and buy the dvd instead :thumbsup:

Much to the anguish of both shows. Altho based on the same concept (God singles out a young woman to help others) they are very different in tone. JoA was a very fragile drama with humor, while WONDERFALLS was unabashedly absurdist. Think DEAD LIKE ME, which isn't surprising since one of WONDERFALLS' co-creators was responsible for that.

I seriously doubt it, terrestrial aren't known for picking up shows that have already been cancelled :unsure:

That was pretty much what I was thinking too, though it seemed to be getting a lot better towards the end. Maybe it's just cos it's in the same spot as the wonderful Dead Like Me :shrug:
Yay-For-Me - July 6, 2005 08:53 AM (GMT)
I thought it was quite good and very funny in parts. Think the funny parts were quite adult as I was laughing but Ant wasn't :lol:

Totally missed the fact Sky were going to be showing this... I only found out watching my recording of Enterprise, so it was too late.
Thanks for the mention of the repeat, Pixie... that soothes my irritation... will set up the Sky+ box to catch it now!

I really liked it, the humour was almost British in it's sarcasm :thumbsup:
little pixie - July 6, 2005 08:20 PM (GMT)
Mmm, I`ll be tuning in next week, but it`s a qualified :thumbsup: .
I did like most of the characters ; I almost didn`t recognise William Sadler ( Roswell`s Sherriff ) who was the father or uncle (?). Will be interested to see how it develops, though it does go over a lot of the same ground as JofA.
It had a funny tracheotomy scene, which I assume is a first. :ph43r: :lol:
Bill The Bloodless - July 7, 2005 09:27 PM (GMT)
I thought it was ok, quirky with some funny moments. Will watch next weeks, if I remember. :)
Stewie Griffin - July 7, 2005 10:14 PM (GMT)
I enjoyed it too after recording it by mistake, and will certainly carry on watching.
So far so good.... :thumbsup:
Fangy and grrr - July 8, 2005 02:55 PM (GMT)
I quite enjoyed it and will definatley carry on watching.:thumbsup: It seemed like a cross between JoA and DLM. The premise is very similar to JoA but the heroine seemed much more like George from DLM - sarcastic and rude - and the humour more adult . On the basis of this first ep I think I'll prefer it to JoA but I'll wait to see if it comes anywhere near DLM.
Fangy and grrr - July 14, 2005 06:41 PM (GMT)
Anyone watch the 2nd episode this week ?
I really enjoyed it and thought it was pretty funny. :lol: @ Jaye's four word ( and a digit ) mention in her mum's blurb & @ " loser's are only winner's who have yet to win ". :ponder: ;)
Bill The Bloodless - July 14, 2005 06:50 PM (GMT)
I watched, thought the whole copycat thing was done well and was really funny at times. :)
TV Yank - July 14, 2005 07:21 PM (GMT)
I thought Sarah Drew was amazing as Bianca in the second episode. First as the disheveled, nervous girl, then as the smooth copycat, and in those sinister momemts. Not the weakest episode, but not the strongest one either. There are better ones to come (altho, my favorite remains the pilot episode).
Outta Sight - July 15, 2005 08:59 PM (GMT)
Yay :thumbsup: I missed the first one but caught the repeat of the second one tonight and I really liked it :thumbsup: I can see why they made comparisons to JoA but it's still significantly different to hold it's own. Pity the network didn't think so :(
little pixie - July 17, 2005 12:40 PM (GMT)
Liked the bit at the end where she talked about her life being a w**k in progress. :thumbsup:
Naughty filter ! :blush:
Fangy and grrr - July 22, 2005 05:12 PM (GMT)
Didn't think this week's episode was quite as good as the first two but it was still pretty enjoyable. :)
TV Yank - July 22, 2005 07:17 PM (GMT)
If that's the one about the nun, it was one of my least favorites (along with #6, about the woman who went over the Falls in a barrel).

Yep thats the one. I found the nun a little annoying to be honest and the ending with the little girl just a little too sickly sweet. :rolleyes:
Outta Sight - July 22, 2005 08:41 PM (GMT)
I was a bit disappointed after last week's but if this is the worst they get I won't complain :lmao: Looking forward to seeing some of the better ones though :thumbsup:

Is it my imagination or is there no episode on next Tuesday :blink:

Don`t know - maybe there`s naughtiness in that ep. which isn`t suitable for us at 9pm, or the ratings aren`t too good so they`re replacing it in that time slot ? :shrug:
