I never saw Wonderfalls, but I signed up for Netflix today, and Wonderfalls is in my queue, so I will give it a shot.

You know, this is another success fromn the word of mouth of others!

SimonWho briefly mentioned it at the Serenity Convention in April/May and on that very brief mention, I bought the DVD`s and dare I say it they are watched maybe a little more than Firefly, in fact, I had better do a marathon of watching Firefly to make up for it - maybe we can have a weekend shindig sometime just to do that or maybe even for Wonderfalls - every episode, a brief rest before the following episode allowing for a chat and refreshments and then onto the next.

I was so trying to be Wonderfalls's pimp at Serenity but didn't organise myself properly. Still, at least I converted a couple of people proper and sowed the seeds in the minds of others. It really is a delightful series and also carries the bonus that the arc wraps itself neatly by the end of the episodes.

I'm sure it's picked up several tens of thousands more fans now Sky have started showing it (and it had good publicity in the TV pages). Perhaps there should be a UK remake or something.

I love the commentary where they all break into singing the theme song. "We're all bobbing along in our barrels..."

What do you reckon we could convince Sean to get some cast members over for Serenity 2?!

Well, soemtimes people don`t need "in your face Watch this cause its good" but a few meaningful words can go along way - wasn`t it something like "If you watch wonderfalls and don`t like it, I`ll pay you £50" I`m sure that`s what you said

And I do hope you don`t mean a UK remake, gawd that would be awful, unless perhaps you did it in the lake district or picturesque scotland.

Oh, and yes, some of the cast signing the theme tune is always a surefire winner even when they fluff the words and start to argue `I thought it was always ..."

See, I can do subtle but I need time to prepare my faking of it. Otherwise I'm like Eddie Izzard's impression of commercials from the 50's "Come on, here it is, buy it now."

Well, you would have to find somewhere quirky to do it but I think it would still suit a UK feel to it (because it already has that semi-Canadian vibe) plus they massacred The Office, why shouldn't we counter-attack?

Any other Wonderfall Fans?

Remember what LOUIS VUITTON said: "It's in the bag!"

Loved that show. Too bad it ended. I'm going to buy them eventually on dvd, but, for right now, I rent them off and on from Netflix.

Wish they had brought it back. Damn them.

Respectfully,

Thank you for the tip on "The Edge of Madness"

I find the thought of Caroline Dhaernas naked

a lot more exciting than say .....Pamela Lee Anderson or Paris "Hey mister, can I was your Rolls?" Hilton!
But hey, that just me!

Allright, I got Wonderfalls from Netflix, and I watched the first episode. I have a few things to say, some of which you won't like....

For starters, I completely understand why this show wound up getting canceled. The first twenty minutes or so were some of the most boring minutes I had seen in a television program in a long time. The only thing that kept me from declaring the people of this board insane for their devotion to this show and giving up right then and there were A) just that, the devotion of everyone on this board to this show, and B) I went out of my way to get it so I might as well at least watch a whole episode. Had I been watching it on television instead of DVD, and not known of such critical acclaim, I surely would have quit 20 minutes in and never come back. I imagine that many of those who watched the first episode did the same. It is almost inexcusable to start the first episode of a series so mundane and dull, especially when, as I recall, it was up against Survivor and Friends (at least I think that is when it was on). I think the show doomed itself, by loosing potential viewers who might have watched the first episode.

Anyways, I stuck with it. A little over 20 minutes in, it started to click, all of a sudden the charaacters became interesting to me, and the plot started to surface. Probably around the time the main character started chasing the guy on the bike with the quarter, I started enjoying the show. By the end of the episode, I was intriuged, and looking forward to the next episode. It went from increadibly boring to fascinating in a very short period. I understood why the first 20 minutes were setting up the relationships of the characters, but there really should have been some kind of warning, about hanging with the show for more than 20 minutes, because it does get better.

Another fan of the show. I just saw the DVDs a few weeks ago.

And Jewel was just great. What a bitch!
