Of course there's got to be a love interest and that would be Eric (Tyron Leitso), a sensitive hunk with a wounded soul because he'd come to the Falls on his honeymoon only to catch his wife providing some room service of her own to a bellhop. She thinks she's going crazy, but relents and starts doing their bidding with the expected wacky consequences. These muses bombard her with cryptic repeated phrases like "Get her words out," "Bring her home," "Give it back to her" and "She's going to kill him," which don't usually make sense at first or may take on a second meaning later in the show. It doesn't stop there, as eventually she's being hectored by everything from her family shrink's brass monkey bookend and her dad's lawn flamingos to stuffed animals at work and the mounted trout at The Barrel, a restaurant/bar/hangout where her best friend Mahandra (Traci Thoms) waitresses.
Things change after a malformed wax lion starts to speak to her. She's a snarky, bright and sarcastic chick who looks and acts like a cross between a young Demi Moore and Daria of MTV cartoon fame (if you liked Janeane Garofalo before she became an unfunny crank radio host, you'll like Jaye), comfortably stuck in her "expectation-free zone" and working for an assistant manager she calls "the Mouth Breather" (Neil Grayston). To say she's the black sheep of her overachieving family is an understatement - her father's a doctor, her mother's an author, her sister's a lawyer and even her brother, an atheist theologian (huh?) working on his doctorate in comparative religion while living rent-free at home, is considered a greater success than her. The center of the show is Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas), a 24-year-old girl who's putting her philosophy degree from Brown University to good use by wage-slaving at Wonderfalls, a gift shop next to Niagara Falls, and living in a trailer park.
WONDERFALLS PINK FLAMINGOS SERIES
However, thanks to an Internet fan campaign, the entire series is now available as Wonderfalls: The Complete Viewer Collection. This was the case with Greg the Bunny, which only had 11 of 13 episodes air before cancellation, and Wonderfalls, which managed to get only 4 of their 13 episodes aired in two murderous time slots before going over the falls into cancellation oblivion. But when a show takes a few too many steps past third base into left field, Fox can also be very quick on the trigger to cap a quirky show prematurely. Her life and the lives of others are touched by a strange magic that lends meaning to the seemingly random events of daily living.When the Fox Network wants to create a hip and/or successful show like 24, The O.C., American Idol or Arrested Development, they can be very good at it.
Ultimately, though she is never entirely certain of her own sanity. As the animals lead her into the lives of others, involving herself in their problems in sometimes meddlesome, but often helpful, ways, she encounters a rich and eclectic medley of characters. Her family thinks she's crazy, that's for sure, so she turns to her best friend Mahandra (Tracie Thoms) for advice, and also befriends a local bartender named Eric (Tyron Leitso), who tries to help her figure out the truth. The inanimate animals that populate the shop begin coming to life, bearing cryptic messages that only Jaye can hear, and she can't tell if she's hallucinating or if it's really happening. She works at a souvenir shop at Niagara Falls, and leads a pretty normal existence, until one day the extraordinary suddenly introduces itself into her world. Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas) is a quirky young woman in her early twenties, and a misfit in her family of overachievers.
