Wonderfalls

I bought the DVD for the show *Wonderfalls* a couple weeks back and I finished watching the 13 episode season last night. This show was great; it had outstanding writing. I am really disappointed that this show did not make it. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy *Desperate Housewives* and *Lost*.


It is really a shame that TV networks don't give new outstanding shows more of a chance to prove themselves in the ratings department.
