Wonderfalls


In 2004 Fox broadcasted a short lived comedy-drama television series centered on 24 year old  Jaye Tyler (played by Caroline Dhavernas), a recent graduate of Brown University, who decides to ignore her philosophy degree, live in a trailer and work at a tourist gift shop in Niagara Falls called Wonderfalls (which is also the name of the show). But Jaye's aimless life takes a startling turn after a waxed lion figurine begins talking to her.

In each episode, Jaye starts doing exactly what an increasing number of inanimate objects tell her to do and is amazed when her outrageous actions begin changing people’s lives in unexpected ways. The inanimate objects, called muses, are various types of animal toys, souvenirs, ornaments, etc.

Despite its cancellation, Wonderfalls developed a loyal fan base (including myself). Here are some of my favorite Wonderfalls muses...
