A “Generation Y” slacker, she struggles with identity and purpose. (Another Fox gem, Arrested Development, fits the same bill, though no one is watching, which of course is what happens when you put it on during the last half hour of Alias, but I digress) So who are these “real characters”? The centerpiece is Jaye. This is the “sit-com” of the future, longer, no laugh track (I have my own sense of humor, you don’t need to tell me where to laugh, thank you very much.), and most importantly, real characters and real issues. Notice I say comedy not “sit-com”, as the latter has become more associated with punch-lines than humor. Though Wonderfalls likely best fits the genre of “Dramedy”, it’s laugh-a-line pace makes it play out as more of an hour long comedy. Since this is “Siphonics”, let’s break down the MCQ (For those playing at home, that’s Message, Content, Quality).

Only 3 episodes into it’s existence, and all ready this show is exhibiting signs of greatness. Now before you get the idea that I think this show is “cheesy”, I actually only mention it because cheese is a central plot point of this week’s show (I said it was quirky, didn’t I?). Which brings us to Fox’s Friday night quirk fest, “Wonderfalls”. So why is something so universal, so maligned? Why is something that is cliché and hammy (pork, the other maligned food) referred to as “cheesy”. But that’s a discussion for another time. I theorize they must be at opposite sides of the condiment spectrum and therefore cancel each other out. In fact, I once dipped cheese in peanut butter to see what would happen and, surprisingly, when I took a bite there was no taste. At home on your burger, taco, cracker, popcorn, apples, salad, or even in your cake (come on, you love cheese cake) next to peanut butter, it is possibly the most versatile topping around. Sliced, shredded, melted, or ahem… cut, few foods match it’s universal appeal.

Note #2: Wonderfalls has been canceled, figures the first TV show I review is canceled less than a week after I review it! They are trying to get a DVD deal to release the rest of the season, we shall see.īehold, the power of cheese. Note: Wonderfalls may be moving to Thursday’s at 9PM (I have a great programming idea, let’s put one of our best new shows up against CSI and The Apprentice, no one’ s watching those!) (By the way, you can add a third note at the beginning of the article, that they did indeed eventually release more episodes with a season 1 DVD, that I still think is worth renting if you missed the minuscule opportunity to see it on the air.)

Here is the full review, my first in the world of TV. (Freaks and Geeks, Firefly, Arrested Development, Reunion, and this years Drive all live there.) It was nice to see star Caroline Dhavernas (pictured) is doing movies now (you may have seen her in Breach) but she was perfect for this show.

In March 2004, I found myself invested already in a whimsical gem of a show that would eventually find itself littered on the FOX scrapheap of wasted genius. Well, whatever the case, each week we shall take a look into the past, all the way back to (start Conan O’Brien impression here) the year 2000–uh–4. So this one is more for me than you, oh wait, this whole thing is more for me than you. Since I do not wish those reviews and posts to be lost, I thought I would begin posting them here. Still needing some sort of outlet I started this blog in January of this year. After burning out on the website thing I took a 6 month break and did not renew my domain. I updated and ran this site for over 2 years posting occasional reviews and ramblings. In January of 2004 I started my first website to vent on all things pop culture.
