I really wanted to see it, but are local Fox station showed a Big Ten game instead. I was so mad

I was really looking forward to watching. So for people who were able to see it how was it?

I loved the show last night! I'm sorry you didnt get to watch it! It was so funnny lol and the bartender on the show..he is really really cute! But ya..I think my favorite part was when the girl sets up her sister on a blind date...and the date accidently eats peanuts (he's allergic to peanuts) and his neck swells up..

So then on the way to the hospital the sister thought it would help to stab him in the neck..lol...crazy stuff...but ya...it kept me laughing throughout the whole show.

it was ok....nothing really special about it. I thought it was average.

starbucks389 · 03-13-2004, 12:45 PM

Ya I guess it depends what type of shows you liked. I thought it was pretty good though. What show do you like? Besides Wonderfalls..I also like Joan of Arcadia, The OC, and Everwood.....

I watched the first episode of Wonderfalls last night on Fox and I thought it was really good. I thought Jaye was a very interesting and likable character, though she seemed to act younger than 24. However, she was very realistic as a character overall in that she sometimes was lazy at work, self centered and talked back to customers. The episode was very funny and original.

starbucks389 · 03-18-2004, 09:43 PM

Yep its a great show! I love it...I found out that tonight they will be showing the pilot episode tonight at 9 and tomorrow will be a new episode. Yay. I can't wait....I missed a few minutes of the show last week so now I can rewatch it tonight lol.

The second episode of Wonderfalls was even better then the first. I really like this show, for so many different reasons. The idea behind it is very different then other shows on television. The characters are really colorful. The show has a language all it's own. It is also very intelligent and well written. I think that Wonderfalls is the best new show on right now with out a doubt. I just hope that it can find an audiance so it will remain on the air.

starbucks389 · 03-20-2004, 03:06 PM

Yep I totally agree with you. Wonderfalls is a great show and I hope it stay on the air...its different...and I like that. OOoo I was so tired last night that I fell asleep during the stupid commercial. What happened the last ten minutes..I fell asleep right when Jaye had the girl pinned down and then the girl said, "IM STUDYING YOU!" lol...if you can fill me in..that would be great!

Binky told Jaye that she was an reporter doing a magazine article on Generation Y slachers who have fallen through the cracks in society. When Jaye finds out that Binky wants to write an article on her, she lets her follow her around and take notes! Then Jaye learns that Binky in really not a reporter but wants to be one, and was using Jaye as her muse. Jaye then writes the article herself and sells it to a magazine using Binky's name. In the end Jaye decides that the bio on her in her mother's book should be that her life is "a work in progress." It was a great episode. They might rerun it next Thursday like they did with the first episode. The TV guide does not say.

starbucks389 · 04-03-2004, 11:46 PM

Thanks for the recap. Did you watch the show on Thursday. I like it that they put it on thursday after Tru Calling..Now I never forget to watch it lol. I thought it was a great episode...the bartender is so cute! haha.

TVJedi · 04-04-2004, 02:43 AM

Well we won't be watching it anymore. It has been cancelled!

I so hate FOX for killing any "dry humor" show they come up with. It's like a total tease. Jerks!

starbucks389 · 04-04-2004, 04:04 PM

NOOOOOO! Blah that sucks...I was really getting into the show too. It was so funny..it was refreshing to watch.

Nighthawk76 · 04-04-2004, 06:13 PM

I really love this show! I can't believe that it was cancelled.

tvfan0101 · 04-04-2004, 08:03 PM

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Just didn't have a large enough appeal -the all-important mass appeal- needed to keep the show alive. Seemed to be a cross between Northern Exposure and Joan Of Arcadia.
