Wonderfalls

A woman is lead by talking objects into helping herself and the world.

A 20-something Niagara Falls souvenir-shop worker finds her life is changed forever when inanimate animal figures - toys, cartoon images etc. - begin talking to her. Their cryptic messages set into motion a chain of events that invariably lead her into the lives of others.

Wonderfalls is a comedy-drama television series that was broadcast on the Fox television network in 2004.
The show centers on Jaye Tyler, a recent Brown University graduate with a philosophy degree, who holds a dead-end job as a sales clerk at a Niagara Falls gift shop. Jaye is the reluctant participant in conversations with various animal figurines — a wax lion, brass monkey, stuffed bear, and mounted fish, among others — which direct her via oblique instructions to help people in need.
TV Guide included the series in their 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled Too Soon".

What are the best <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-single-season-canceled-90s-fox-tv-shows/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">single-season canceled shows</a> in television history? These shows were actually really great, but for whatever reason (usually ratings,)&nbsp;they got the axe after just a handful of episodes. Without a doubt, many on this list of series canceled after one season deserved much longer runs, and all these <a href="/crowdranked-list/tv-shows-canceled-before-their-time" target="_blank">TV shows were canceled before their time</a>. Vote for the shows you think didn't deserve just one season on the air, and feel free to rerank this list your way, too.It might surprise you to learn that despite their great successes, entertainment heavyweights like Judd Apatow and Joss Whedon didn't always come out on top. Whedon's Firefly remains one of the most unjust cancellations in TV history, as does Apatow's Freaks and Geeks (both are now among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/tv-guide_s-top-30-cult-shows" target="_blank">all-time top cult TV shows</a>.)&nbsp;All of these single-season shows were canceled before they could have a sophomore season, much to our dismay. But&nbsp;this list also includes some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ambitious-90s-shows/lauren-milici" target="_blank">more obscure shows</a>. Even beloved stars like Matthew Perry and Jason Alexander <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ensemble-actors-who-couldnt-carry-a-show/anncasano" target="_blank">couldn't get a second season&nbsp;on their own</a>.Add any one-season TV shows that might be missing because if you miss it, it qualifies. What single-season TV shows do you believe are the greatest ever? It's a safe bet that several of the 1 season TV shows listed here are also among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-tv-shows-of-recent-memory" target="_blank">best TV shows in recent memory</a>. Vote up the canceled single-season shows you think are the best and see where your favorites rank.

It's never easy to say goodbye to a beloved television show. Whether it was on the air for years and got a grand sendoff, or it only lasted a few months and received <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-shows-that-never-got-a-real-finale/ranker-tv" target="_blank">no official finale</a>, there are countless <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-shows-canceled-before-their-time" target="_blank">TV series canceled before their time</a>. Fortunately, many TV shows that deserve a revival have been generating considerable interest among studios and showrunners. Twin Peaks, Will &amp; Grace, Roseanne, and Curb Your Enthusiasm are just a few of the series undergoing revivals on major networks.But there are still a number of shows that should be brought back. Some of the best TV shows to renew are cult favorites, and it's almost criminal they aren't being discussed&nbsp;in an era full of revivals. From Buffy and the rest of the Scooby Gang to Jerri Blank and the crew at Flatpoint High, from time-jumping Sam Beckett to the eternally warring Al and Peggy Bundy, there is no shortage of TV shows networks should revive. What show would you like to see receive a second greenlighting?

This <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-shows-canceled-before-their-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of canceled shows</a> we'd like to see as movies includes a lot of huge cult favorites. Obviously this list isn't complete, so feel free to add any TV shows that aren't on the air anymore to it. Vote for your favorites and who knows? It just might happen someday!A 'Freaks and Geeks' movie would be freakin' amazing (if you could get all of the show's original stars back together for long enough to film it). And while 'Firefly' does already have one movie ('Serenity'), why not more? Arguments can certainly be made that shows like 'Roswell,' 'Pushing Daisies' and 'Chuck' would also be interesting films.While J.J. Abrams has a lot going on right now, what with the whole 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' stuff, he could take a break from ruling the universe long enough to get a 'Fringe' movie going. And, while we're discussing the sci-fi stuff, why not bring 'Battlestar Galactica' to the big screen, too?Keep in mind: Movies are expensive. Some of the stars of these shows became famous *because* of these shows (Jennifer Garner, as Sydney Bristow on 'Alias' comes to mind). They'll want to be paid the big bucks in any movie adaptation. That's where you come in. If you could help to bankroll any <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-shows-canceled-before-their-time" target="_blank">canceled TV show</a> you loved, which one would you pick?&nbsp;

TV shows come and go;&nbsp;it&#39;s the nature of the medium. Luckily, syndication and streaming have allowed us to keep watching some of our favorites&nbsp;long after they&#39;re canceled or run their course. The same is true for TV series that entertained us for hours <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-childhood-tv-shows/elle-tharp" target="_blank">when we were younger</a>, with everything from sitcoms to dramas to procedurals just a few clicks away.

Every once in a while, a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-people-forgot-existed/brian-roque" target="_blank">show from the past</a> may pop into our heads, and&nbsp;when we go to find it online, it&#39;s simply not available. Limits based on where we&#39;re located might factor in, but many shows just aren&#39;t streaming at all.

To be fair, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/beloved-forgotten-tv-shows/erin-maxwell" target="_blank">several of our favorites</a> can be found on DVD, Blu-ray,&nbsp;or even VHS, but streaming would be so much easier. There might even be an episode or two - or several - available on YouTube, but the quality just isn&#39;t there, and they may not be entirely on the up-and-up.&nbsp;

We got to thinking about some nostalgic TV shows we&#39;d really like to watch - if they were easier to get our hands on. It turns out&nbsp;Reddit had a lot to say about this as well.&nbsp;Here are the 1980s and &#39;90s shows that they want to see finally stream - vote up the ones you want to see, too!&nbsp;
