Wonderfalls

It is very sad when a DVD set can be called a complete series and it fits in one box. This is the case with another Fox casualty called Wonderfalls. In Wonderfalls a young woman begins to here the voices of the souvenirs that she sells in a shop located next to Niagara Falls. The concept is a but weird but think of it as My Name is Earl but with a snarky edge. Fate or Karma keeps stepping in but rather than realizing it right away like Earl does our main character Jaye tries to avoid the talking knick-knacks. But usually when she ends up doing what they say things go well. There are only 13 episodes which include 9 that never aired. Nine episodes never made it on TV. Fox you really messed up on this one. This could have been a fantastic show if given the chance. And the DVD set is great because i does have all the episodes and we can see some fun character development happening.

A Christmas Album I must have…

Why? Because it is just such a twisted idea but done with such reverence to the Christmas spirit. Billy Idol’s christmas album Happy Holidays is one of those that must go in my Christmas Collection. Give a listen at his myspace site. Actually you can hear one song, Oh Christmas tree, on the same player as you can hear Eve of Destruction but the truly remarkable part are the videos that are on the site of Happy Holiday (An Idol tune), White Christmas and the one that cracked me up, Jingle Bell Rock. www.myspace.com/billyidol
