I Wonder Why The Wonderfalls
I highly recommend Wonderfalls to anyone who enjoys quirky, funny, romantic shows with really sharp dialogue. The entire 13-episode series is now available on DVD, and it’s a fun romp about an underachieving philosophy grad who has taken a job as a retail clerk at a Niagara Falls gift shop. For those of you missing the witty banter of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the goofy oddity of Twin Peaks, this show may help fill that void.
It doesn’t hurt that the show’s lead, Caroline Dhavernas, is my new girl du jour. Keira Knightly now crawls into the backseat next to Katie Holmes and Alyssa Milano.
So the torrential rain prevented my old roomie from coming down and watching Wonderfalls. Is it a sign of an apocalypse? Is it The Day After Tomorrow? Whatever the case, the rain is officially affecting my life now. Goddamn condensation.
A word of warning: if you rent or buy Wonderfalls, beware of the inane-yet-strangely-infectious theme song. You’ll be singing it for days…

Singing it for days until you watch the weirdly annoying music video... then you'll fast forward past it every time you see that bizarre shot of the falls.
But what a great show!
You've found the perfect antidote to the song--that video is horrible. But did you watch the little featurettes? Caroline Dhavernas complains about how lame she felt making the video. I think I can see her dismay when I watch it...
