Isn’t it sad when good TV dies? Or worse yet when good TV dies and you missed it? There have been a few of those shows in my world. Don’t get me wrong, TV is not everything and the loss of a good show doesn’t stop the world from spinning…but after work when my brain is sometimes half dead, well decent TV is nice to relax with, right? What’s prompting this little rant? I found a show called Wonder Falls on Netflix that only aired about 4 episodes on Fox. It’s weird and great and it made me laugh so hard a few times I cried…then I cried due to drama and good acting. Seriously, this show could have been my Grey’s Anatomy of the day when it started to air…but I missed it and it died the TV cancellation death.
Wonder Falls is not my first such discovery, about 2 years ago I discovered through Netflix the Joss Whedon show Firefly. I loved it so much I had to own it, and the movie inspired by it Serenity. Like a lot of good (and to be honest horrendous) TV it was canceled after only 3-4 episodes. It’s complicated, a bit subversive and FUNNY! Another show that died before it’s time that due to my lack of cable had to be provided to me via Netflix…ROME! Rome rocks! It is so good…with the nudity, violence and rocking dialogue/acting…I mean they actually got Rome for all of its gory glory! Yet only 2 seasons were made, and that is a travesty. I prefer to be amused by good TV, not crap like Caveman. Oh well, that’s why I have Netflix…to better enjoy what can so often be missed in TV Land!
