I picked up the complete series of Wonderfalls on Saturday, and quickly finished it off this weekend.

Wonderfalls stars Caroline Dhavernas as Jaye Tyler, a young woman who is plagued by inanimate objects that tell her what to do. Hearing the shows premise, I was intrigued, but not entirely sold. I mean, only four episodes of the show ever aired on television. There had to be a reason it was cancelled, right?

Still, the show has a connection to Firefly (another show unjustly cancelled by Fox) and Angel in its executive producer, Tim Minear, and the box set had nine unaired episodes on it (The words “Unaired Episodes” are a very big draw for me on DVD box sets), so I figured I’d give it a shot.

I’m very glad I did. The show is wonderfully quirky, and the thirteen episodes tell a pretty solid story, even if there are a few loose ends that I wish had been covered. All in all, this box set is worth every penny (but, to be fair, I would have said that if only for the four episodes that Jewel Staite is in…).

I’m sorry that the show didn’t get better ratings when it was on the air, but I’d rather have these thirteen episodes with a complete story than have had it run a little longer and be less self-contained.
