Why was I under the impression that Jewel was going to be starring in this series? Maybe she has a smaller role or something? Hmmmm...

Jewel will be joining the cast in the 7th episode (I heard). Go to http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=17172 to check it out.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take Wash and Book from me...

Not really my style of show. Premise looks like a rip-off of True Calling and Joan of Arcadia. I'll stick with Dead Zone.

Watch it anyways! I begging you, and I haven't even seen it. If you've read any reviews, you'd know how great it is. Also, it was developed at the same time as "Tru" and "Joan," so it's not a rip-off, even if it does have similar elements.

Pretty much every review I've read has said that this is the best new show of the 2003-2004 season, and one of the most original shows of recent times.

Just try it.

In case you don't already know, Tim Minear (executive producer, writer, director and showrunner of "Firefly;" executive producer, writer, and director on "Angel") is the showrunning executive producer for "Wonderfalls," so if you like "Firefly" prepare to like this. It's even on the same night and station!

Oh, and William Sadler plays the dad--how awesome is that?

It does remind me of Joan Of Arcadia. It seems like the girl might be as cynical as Joan and she has a similiar look, but I'm going to watch it anyway.

I'm hoping it will distinguish itself pretty quickly. Anyway, it comes on a hour after Joan so that's all that matters.

I'm begging people not to dismiss the show because it sounds like it has the same premise as Joan of Arcadia. From everything I've heard, they're totally different. Wonderfalls is a comedy, while Joan of Arcadia is a family drama, so they'll tell completely different kinds of stories. But here's hoping that fans of JoA will tune in to check it out, while non-fans of JoA will still give it a chance.

I have to say the song in the video on their website is pretty damn cheesy...
