Destroy Gretchen Speck (AKA Fox)
I got my first taste of Wonderfalls at last year’s Comic-Con when they showed the teaser and first act while waiting for the Tru Calling cast to show up.
Fantastic, quirky, snarky, engrossing. I was hooked right from the get-go, and have watched every episode Fox has aired.
And now Fox has been true to form and cancelled this awesome show:
Well, not sure what to tell ya’ll — but we’re cancelled. Effective at once. The cow creamer will be silent this Thursday and forever forward. Once we recover from the not-shock, Todd, Bryan and I will see if there’s some venue in which to air the remaining episodes. As I have said from the start, the thirteen taken as a whole tell a story and go to a place, so a run of this “limited” series would not be unsatisfying elsewhere. It’s a question as to whether the studio will want to invest in a DVD release of a failed series. Maybe the episodes will sit in a warehouse someplace with that sled and the arc of the covenant.
Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm.

So here’s what I’m gonna do: I’m going to send letters and postcards in support of the show and in protest of its cancellation to the people involved in the production and airing of this too-rare gem of teevee fabulousness.
I will demand/request/demand that the powers that be give me my entire thirteen episode story arc. I don’t care if I have to buy an expensive box set to get it!
