I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls

About a week and a half ago, I finally got around to ordering the Wonderfalls TV series DVD. I was among the 15 or so people who watched the show last year before FOX prematurely cancelled it--a cancellation for which I am still deeply bitter because Wonderfalls was such a great show with a lot of potential. FOX only allowed four episodes to air before the axed it, but actually 13 episodes were filmed and "in the can". The DVD set has all 13 episodes plus a few extra items thrown in.

The show stars Caroline Dhavernas as Jaye Tyler. Back when the show aired, I wasn't sure if I liked the actress (though I loved the character) or not--something about her eyes kind of bugged me--but after watching all of the episodes, I have a new respect for her. Caroline has a very expressive face; many of her scenes don't even require dialogue because the audience can tell exactly what the character is feeling just by looking at her face. She's fun to watch and very funny.
