Wonderfalls may have moved to Thursday but a repeat of Episode 102 is on tonight (Friday) in the original timeslot.
EDIT: This is according to Yahoo TV listings. But I'm confused bacause it says Episode 102 originally aired April 1.
Is this a Yahoo mistake or are the Wonderfall eps airing out of order?

According to the Official Site:
101 - Pilot Episode
111 - Karma Chameleon
113 - Wound-Up Penguin
102 - Pink Flamingos
Why are the eps all out of order?

That is the intended order. Since they were filming many months ahead of when the episodes were going to air, they took a look at the series and decided that they needed a couple more episodes between 101 and 102 to help establish the characters/show.

Does anyone have an mp3 of the theme song?

Exec producer Tim Minear (ex FF) posted on another board that they deliberately filmed eps 2 and 3 (prod eps 10 and 12) to fill in some gaps, as noted above. This is where it all went wrong -- I mean, aside from the fact so few people are watching . I've said this elsewhere, so anyone reading this again should be bored, but there was a big change in look and feel between the pilot and next two 'sodes. I thought the pilot was outrageous and high-larious. Then in 'sodes 2 and 3, the energy really fell and the series fell out of sync with the pilot, as if we'd leaped into the future (the family turned into caricatures and Sharon's hair changed, too). Blah, blah, blah . . . Last night's 'sode was a return to the wacky world of slacker Jaye and her equally talented waitress/friend.
And last but not least altho disappointing, those ratings were, well, terrible. Dammit! What the hell are people doing on Thursday night at 9?

It appears from the official Wonderfalls boards that some were waiting to catch it Friday at 9, blissfully unaware that it had been moved...

Putting any show up against an NBC Thursday is suicide- It's as bad or worse than the Friday night death slot- I've heard several people I work with say they didnt even like 'The Apprentice', but watched it just because it's between Friends and ER and they were too lazy to change the channel- You have to put so-called 'quirky' shows where they can win-
Just an example: You want the attention of 18-35 yr old males? Dont run a show against wrestling, they are watching that; run the show BEFORE wrestling starts, and catch them while they are looking for something to watch before it starts- Same with Wonderfalls- My wife loves the show, but if she has to leave the house and pop a tape in the VCR, she'd get Must See TV every time instead (you cant channel switch with my cable-one reason digital blows)-
Wonderfalls = Young, hip audience, possibly mostly female -You need early in the week- Thurs/Fri = dead show

I think Thursday is at least as good as Friday, highly possibly better, and it is paired with Tru Calling which, in theory, would have some carryover audience. I strongly disagree that Wonderfalls and wrestling have the same audience ;).
However, I also think there are better nights for Wonderfalls. Right now I think the best shot might be Monday at 9 (est). But there are also problems if you jump it around a bunch in the schedule, so for now stick with Thursday for a few weeks and see what happens.
CSI and Apprentice are the big contenders in the current timeslot. Apprentice will be over in 3 weeks, CSI will be going into reruns over the summer. History will tell you that a lot of the most successful TV shows did not do well until summer reruns.
