Cancelled?? What kind of ADD-driven programming choice is this? Isn't it a waste of OUR time and FOX'S money to create great shows, utterly fail to market them effectively (or at all), then cancel them just out of the box? What kind of business model is this?? These guys would have cancelled THE SIMPSONS after episode two!
WONDERFALLS is continually amazing, funny, well-written and thoughtfully directed. Smarter and funnier than JOAN OF ARCADIA, but with all the heart.
Watch it. TIVO it. Tape it. Plan your life around it, if you have to. At least while you can.
We have a responsibility to support solid, smart television where ever it appears, and here it is!
Don't allow this gem to slip quietly through the sewer grate of lowest-common-denominator television. Make some noise here!
Why is that every time I find a good, intelligent show, you guys cancel it? What's up with that?! I'm 26, white, female, married, in case you're wondering.
One of the best shows on television and FOX didn't even give it a chance! It's only been four episodes...and they gave it the worst time slot!
First it was Freaks and Geeks (which I'm still upset about, even though it was four years ago). But then again, what do you expect from a network that airs stuff like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" and "The Littlest Groom?"
With just a few airings, "Wonderfalls" had no time to find an audience--which it most certainly would, given a chance. Fox should reconsider its premature decision to cancel this excellent show.
Best new show of the year. If FOX had any brains they would put this show after American Idol.
Then it would be a ratings HIT!!!!!!
Whats next FOX? Tru Calling? The only other show worth watching on your sorry network!
I was very upset to hear that one of my and my boyfriend's favorite shows was axed. Please bring it back. I bet if you put it on right after AI like you did the OC then you would get more veiwers. I know I am not the only one that wants this show back. I would sign this think a million times if I could. I would even rather watch this over AI. More interesting most definately.
WonderFalls is some of the most uniquely entertaining programming to arrive in quite a while; what a breath of fresh air, please consider giving it just a little longer trial.
This was a very entertaining and promising show that was never given a chance to shine. If the show had been promoted properly with at least one or two chances to air in a decent time slot, the results could have been vastly different. The least Fox could have done was to run all 13 episodes.
Wonderfalls is better than any stupid fucking reality show or csi this show was a light in a dark room for god sake this show was the best and if no network picks it up then they are all fucked up
It's a shame that quality television programming isn't given a chance to build an audience to match its critical acclaim, but TV executives would much rather fill programming gaps with lowest-common-denominator "reality shows." Please. Wonderfalls was never given a chance from the beginning, and it's time for shows to be nurtured along and given the chance to grow and find their footing (again...television used to do this all the time). Shame on Fox. Again. Bring back Wonderfalls.
Does FOX really think there'll be this kind of fan support for "The Swan" and all the other reality crud they're putting on instead? Save quality scripted drama! The wax lion says so!
Wonderfalls is a wonderful show, featuring some of the most clever writing and most likable characters on the air today. What has the network that spawned The Simpsons and Married with Children become? Has success bred another few hundred "yes men" that just want to recycle what they see on "the big 3" competition? The exodus to cable will continue until you guys stop treating your properties like they're informercials, and start cultivating an audience. Four weeks, two against the NCAA tourney, and you pull the plug. My new attitude for Fox shows will be "WHY BOTHER"!
DO NOT CANCEL WONDERFALLS. i have faithfully watched all four episodes since it came on and have loved them.
Don't cancel an excellent show that already has a huge following. Forget about Nielsen and go because it DOES NOT represent a large amount of people who notice quality programming.
There are still individuals who have not been sucked into the mire and muck that is "reality tv." Please realize this and don't get rid of one of the few shows worth watching on the FOX network
Fox can screw an old wrinkled cunt for all I care 'cause wonderfalls deserves better than a network that dosnt even try to make anything work. they through out a series no matter how good or bad they dont try if it isnt getting 5 trillion viewers they dont care
WONDERFALLS was my new favorite television series. I watched it faithfully since its premiere episode. It was everything a show should be--original, funny, clever, beautifully written and acted, unlike any other series premise--and now it has been cancelled after on 4 airdates? I'm sorry, FOX, but you completely screwed this show over with that Friday timeslot. Changing it to Thursdays, opposite THE APPRENTICE? Wrong! Please reconsider giving WONDERFALLS a second chance on a better night, like following AMERICAN IDOL on Tuesdays. It deserves so much more care and respect than it got from you.
This was the only show left on TV worth watching. They didn't even give the show a chance to find an audience. Given the Friday and Thursday night slots ir was destined to fail.
you've gotta be kidding. FOUR EPISODES and you pull the plug. i work in the industry and know how it works, but this is TRULY ridiculous. i suppose you can come up with another completely worthless reality piece of crap.
Fox, you !$@?*%$
!@#holes!!! What's wrong with you people? Do you only let shows on the air if they are for mindless automatons who cannot even fathom smart and eccentrich polt lines and twists? What happened to the network that took chance with shows that are not from the norm?
This was such a wonderful show and FOX proves once and for all what bastards they are. They put it in a horrible time slot, expect it to do well...obviously it won't! If they actually scheduled something like this in a good time it might take one or two episodes but i'm sure it would've had solid numbers. If Joan of Arcadia and Tru Calling (both inferior shows) can stay on the air, why can't Wonderfalls?!! I'm disgusted, truly am. At the very least though, someone better put it on dvd so we can all see the 9 episodes we missed of the first season.
This show had a meaning, come on the girl was livingf her stress free life doing nothing, like most americans! I think fox dosnt deserve this show anyway! Maybe a better network will at least try to make this show work!
Ask the true fans before you pull a series off the air.
I am getting real tired of good shows being pulled without being given a chance to succede.
In my opinion.... If I wanted to watch REALITY TV, I would just turn on the NEWS.
TV is supposed to entertain, I want my entertainment.
To me, there is to many channels now with cable and sattalite tv to expect the rating numbers that stations are used to with a show. Ditch the rating system and find a way to ask the fans.
Wonderfalls rocks and shouldn't be canceled me and my friends talk about it at school. That is when a show really makes it. my Parents actually let me watch it even though I am grounded from tv. IT totally rocks
Another one bites the dust. Reality TV sucks, and if there was a better rating system out there than the Neilsons, shows like Wonderfalls and/or Firefly would never have been cancelled.
I guess this show takes too much intelligence to watch.
I can't believe Arrested Development has stayed on the air as long as it has. It is another show that takes some intelligence to watch.
If a show is not number one in the ratings it seems that the networks won't keep it on the air. Finally, for a few weeks there was a show on with freshness and charm but after only 4 weeks it is being cancelled. If the Fox network execs have any more creative integrity left they will change their minds.
This is the most entertaining, creative and intelligent show to be on basic TV in years...in just the past week when I mentioned the show, none of my friends had even heard of it...you have to give it more of chance.
This was the only FOX show I've watched in a very long time. If you cancel, you lose me completely as a FOX viewer. And I'm very easily swayed by advertising. Your call.
Why do they bother?
It has been barely allowed to breath, and they are snuffing it out; ignorant waste and stupid strategies seems to be the order of the day in all the entertainment industries(music included) that would continue living in the past while asking for our dollars and attention.
Did I say, stupid decision to cancel an interesting show before its even given a chance?
Oh and if anyone has access to the unreleased episodes get them out onto the filesharing sites since some of us appreciate good work that shouldn't be wasted.
It's smart, funny, quirky, creative
and clever. Please take it out of its
Friday night programming purgatory and
give it a chance to find an audience
outside of its current deathtrap time slot.
Do NOT cancel this show!!! You gave it a BAD time slot to start with, did NOT publicize it AT ALL and now that it has a decent timeslot are not even giving it a chance. Don't cancel another amazing show!
This is one of the first intelligent shows that I have seen on FOX in quite a while.... Don't take it away. Remove the horrible programming like the Swan and KEEP WONDERFALLS!!!!
PLEASE don't cancel this show! Its the best thing to come out of FOX in a LONG LONG time, one of the only reasons I've given other shows on FOX a chance, like the OC.
Fox has finaly got a great show and they need to keep it around. the show is funny and i LOVE it! Please don't cancel like you did with skin! SAVE WONDERFALLS!!!
Hopefully someone else like Bravo will pick it up like Keen Eddie or the WB like Grounded for Life....it sucks this was my fave show...now Fox can air the Swan or something awful like that.
This show was absolutely incredible and unlike any other show on tv... I saw Joan of Arcadia for the first time and I don't understand how that show is still airing when WONDERFALLS is not. The middle episodes were a little slow but the fourth (the "last"???) episode was on par with the first and was amazing. I can't believe that FOX will cancel something truly original and charming to make room for more shows like "Forever Eden" or "Playing it Straight."
jaye and eric never even actually got together (or kissed or danced around like they showed on the music video) :(
A show with wit, charm & character - ended well before its time by FOX programming... Why not give the viewing audience something besides the brain-dead reality show of the moment? FOX was once a bastion of non-network television - it could be again, with the support of shows such as Wonderfalls, Firefly & more!
I'm in advertising and I've seen the trend of the coveted 18-34 demo leaving TV. Pulling the plug on shows like this is why viewers like me aren't watching TV any more.
One more reality show and broadcast TV will have seen the last of me!
Great writing. Witty dialog. A very likeable female lead (no matter how much she tries not to be). Please give the viewing public more that four episodes to discover this rare gem!
It would be a great shame to see this show go away. Please, FOX, keep it on, and keep it on a consistent timeslot. Perhaps after American Idol? It deserves the exposure!
5 episodes, and you cancel? I think when you finally try a new concept, you should give it a chance before cancelling it.
Of course, if the idea is to drive all views to the cable networks, then you may just be succeeding....
Give the show a chance, please
