Nor did it take long for Wonderfalls, which aired on FOX in 2004, to get the premature ax. By the five minute mark she’s performing her own Heimlich remover to stop from choking on a sandwich because no one walking by will respond to her “I can’t breath” gestures. It doesn’t take long into the pilot for things to go wrong for Jaye. Until the cheeky souvenir lion started talking to her. She was as happy as an unsocial cynic can be. Basically, Jaye had set up a routine where she was able to fully commit to an ideal, unambitious lifestyle of few obligations and bare minimum requirements. Amongst her concerned but career-minded family members (who make up a superb supporting cast including Lee Pace and Kate Finneran) she proudly played the role of the black sheep, toting around her unused philosophy degree and trailer park residence as banners of her independence. The lone social contact she kept with any regularity was with her best friend, Mahandra, but given Mahandra’s workplace- the bar Jaye frequented -keeping in touch didn’t take much effort. Despite the job’s implied requirement of speaking to customers on a regular basis, she avoided people as best she could and was fairly successful. Jaye Tyler was a normal, sarcastic, passive aggressive employee at a Niagara Falls tourist gift shop.

Thank you for visiting our Wonderfalls TV Show page!Ĭopyright © 1997-Present CrazyAboutTV.“I wonder, wonder why the wonder falls…” So goes the refrain of the theme song for FOX’s short-lived Wonderfalls. Note: A Wonderfalls pilot was produced but it was never broadcast. Some of the Wonderfalls' writers were used as the voices for the muses. side! Oops!Ĭaroline Dhavernas had to rid herself of her French-Canadian accent in order to play the role of U.S.

Problem is that the souvenir shop is supposed to be on the U.S. Sometimes you can even see the city of Niagra Fall, New York. Look very closely whenever there is a shot from the souvenir shop looking out at Niagra Falls and you'll notice that you are looking at the U.S. The actress who was first hired to play Mahandra McGinty was replaced in the middle of producing the Wonderfalls pilot so several scenes that had already been shot had to be redone! One of those music videos is also available on the Dvd Set. They also jumped in and out of footage from the series. There were two music videos of the theme song "I Wonder Why the Wonder Falls" produced with Caroline Dhavernas and some of the other main Cast singing along and dancing. FOX actually ran promos for "Crime Dog" and then decided to not air it! Their titles were: "Crime Dog", "Barrel Bear", "Muffin Buffalo", "Lovesick Ass", "Safety Canary", "Lying Pig", "Cocktail Bunny", "Totem Mole", and "Caged Bird". Nine episodes of the Wonderfalls TV show were produced but were not broadcast. The funniest one though was "Joan of Niagara" because it was a jibe at Wonderfalls' competition on CBS, " Joan of Arcadia". Among others were: "Animal Crackers", "Babble Head", "Normally Insane", "The Tchotchke Whisperer", and "What Ever Happened to Baby Jaye?". Wonderfalls was not the only title considered for the series. The items became animated and gave her short messages that instructed her to do things that make no sense at all! They claimed that the results of her not obeying their commands would be disasterous! Of course, she is the only one who can see them and wonders whether or not she was crazy!Ĭhelan Simmons. It was about a young woman who worked in a souvenir shop at Niagra Falls and got short messages from the souvenirs or anything with a "face" on it.
