Moments in TV Awesome: Wonderfalls


Wonderfalls was a brilliant (and only slightly flawed) show that blended the absurd and the ordinary with healthy doses of surreal sarcasm. I recently saw Michelle Featherstone perform live and I suddenly realized where I'd heard her haunting voice before: over this perfectly heartbreaking scene.

Jaye has come to tell Eric that she loves him and stop his impending remarriage to his whoring wife Heidi. Unfortunately, Eric has made his own momentous decision, to stop waiting for Jaye to admit she loves him and to honor the vows he made to Heidi. Oof.

So are you arguing flawless or deeply flawed? My only problem with it was that all the Jaye/Eric stuff was lumped at the end and then tied up neatly with Heidi no where to be seen.

Alas, when faced with imminent cancellation, one must either let the strings linger aloft or tie those suckers up as quick as you can.

I think Tim made the right, if forced, decision.
