  • i wonder where is season 2

  • Una excelente seria lastima que la cancelaron!!!!!

  • This show is SOOOO GOOD.

  • 29:35 I literally LOOOOOOLed (big time)

  • great series. it's gotta little "dead like me" feel. too bad the greats never make it past 1 season

  • I adore Adam Scott, but Lee Pace was definitely better for this role. It's neat to see two actors I love interpret the same role, though! Thanks for uploading this.

    Oh and I'm super glad Tracie Thoms was in the rest of the episodes.

  • who is the actor playing her brother in this episode

  • @nightstalkerck Adam Scott of Parks & Recreation, Party Down, Step Brothers, etc.

  • oh god kerry washington would have been a terible mahondra. Lee pace was amazing, but i could see adam scott doing the roll justice.

  • One of the best shows ever! I love Wonder Falls! So fun to see this version :-)

  • Comment removed

  • This Aaron seemed ok, but this Mahondra...just no, good recast decision there.

  • we JUST got a huge dvd set from our library on this series, WOW i dont watch tv at all but this is great wonderFULLs (O:

  • That's Kerry Washington.

  • Who is the black lady at 11:00?

  • wow, love this. This show would be worth watching solely for the lead. She reminds a lot of George from DLM.

  • First two minutes has a very Dead Like Me feel.

  • Best. Show. Ever.

    Nuff' said.

  • The waterfall killing people - Darwin Awards anyone?

    Nice lampshade.

    I've seen those machines in museums. I always thought they made hollow plastic toys, not wax.

    Her folks have a key to that spacious Airstream of hers?

    *The majority* of the dialouge is quite sophisticated, but definately not all of it.

    Last time I checked, monkeys had tails. That book end seems like a chimpanzee (ape) to me.

    24:15 - For those of you that are into that sort of thing

    24:40 - Nice legs :)

  • i tried but this show does not work from many aspects. A big miss. The bastard child to "Pushing Daisies", a show well written and executed.

  • @kamikrazi123 Wonderfalls came first, made by the same writer/creator as Pushing Daisies. You're an idiot.

  • @FairsleyDifference That's the point, idiot. Pushing Daisies is the perfect kid. Wonderfalls was the show that was never meant to be.

  • Thanks for posting this, I have the show on DVD but I have never seen this...until now.

  • It doesn't have the bit with her choking and then throwing the coin in the fountain. That is VITAL!

  • Yes! I miss this show so much. Watched every episode religiously, the wit and creativity in this series was rare and marvelous. Damn you TV gods.

  • Why do they always cancel the awesome shows?

    Wonderfalls

    Dead Like me

    Pushing daisies

    Lots of people like the quirky humour shows but why do they cancel it?

  • it's only when the woman started shouting when I suddenly realized: that's Kathy Greenwood! (from Whose line is it anyway?!)

  • Kattiieee <3

  • I don't understand how there are even any shows on fox. ALL the good ones are cancelled.

  • @breeandsparkle it's the way they do things. they make money on the simpsons mostly up until they were so out of series to put out they had to bring back Family guy since CN made it popular. so now Seth Mcfarlene's stuff is their cash cow and anything that doesn't share that or Idol's ratings get moved around to find better ones but in don't so they lose the audience entirely.

    Hell if I somehow pitched an idea Fox would buy I'd only except if it came on Friday night just so I'm not surprised.

  • Adam Scott has certainly improved since then. He was amazing on Party Down. Definitely prefer Lee Pace for this role.

  • Best. Show. Ever.

  • Soooo much better with Tracie Thoms...the show would have sucked without her!!

  • How did you put this entire ep online?

  • wow, the original Mahandra SUCKED. Tracie Thoms FTW. I was so psyched seeing her in Death Proof- i wish she was in everything I watch!

  • why do all of brian fullers shows get cancelled so quickly!!? pushing daisies was amazing, i've lost that too! But i thought i still had ugly betty, but that got cancelled to!!! :O :(

  • Why does it seem that a large majority of the actually GOOD shows get cancelled?! Is it bad timing or something? I feel like deprived!

  • ...holy crap.

    I think I need to watch all of the rest of this show, like right now.

  • what's the limit for video legnth lol

  • i never really knew this show existed i just happen to watch a clip of jaye and eric and wanted to know more...it is really funny...too bad it got cancelled...

  • this is not the unaired pilot.. is it???

    i remember watching this on tv when i was like 14...

    thanks 4 uploading thou...

    love wonderfalls damn you fox... damn you

  • I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this show. Rediscovering it now: it was really good.

  • Another excellent show canceled to soon. I really do believe that Fox TV is ran by a bunch of hairless apes. How else do you explain the existence of crap like The Simple Life and The Swan?

  • I have so much love for this show. I remember watching it when it first aired. What a pity it was taken off so soon~

  • i love this series!!!!!!!!!!

  • How a hate the idiots who canceled this show!!!

  • Wow, makes me really appreciate Lee Pace and Tracy Thoms! Just not the same without them!!

  • My gosh I'm already in love with this show<3 I'm going to have to go out and buy the DVD...

  • love it

    ....i think i found something new to watch till there is nor more

    and the way it looks there are not that many episodes...:(

  • Oh Lee Pace is too much better.

  • Lol.... that was so cool

    C:

  • This, Bakersfield PD and The Tick (live action), are some of the most well-written, clever comedies canceled well before their time.

  • what the song played in the opening

  • Aw look at Eric's smile at 36:18 :)

  • I wish they would bring this show back! Eric is so hot!

  • Man i wished it would continue thanks for the upload.

  • I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!! sad fate I wish someone would bring it back!

  • I REMEMBER this show was at the same time TRU CALLING was also airing ):

    SUCH SAD MOMENTS...

  • Enjoyed the video thank you for sharing. Sounds like PreZ Prado in the opening . Great soundtrack, acting and writing. Mil Gracias JH

    Ciao

  • Where can I see more of this show?

  • Just in case you haven't found it yet, the entire series is on here. Ericxtest posted them all.

  • Thank you for posting this!!!

    I'm glad they aired the Pilot that they did, it's much better.

  • Tracie Thoms and Lee Pace brought SO much more personality to Mahandra and Aaron, respectively. I can't imagine the rest of the episodes without them.

  • I agree - the person who plays Aaron in this episode is so bland and the person who plays Mahandra here makes her seem ditsy and fake. Tracie Thoms played the role in such a unique, priceless way. I love this show!!

  • I agree, but I also think Adam Scott (who plays Aaron) doesn't do a horrible job. Lee Pace is just pretty uncomparable.

  • @CedricCSCFL

    I absolutely agree. Tracie nailed the dry, snarky best friend in a way the other actress didn't. And Lee Pace...fantastic. This other Aaron was uptight like the rest of the family, but didn't have the same quirky undertone.

  • @CedricCSCFL Amen to that!!

    I also love the fact that casting chose a lead actor with such a distinct voice, Caroline Dhavernas. The same goes for Ellen Muth for Dead like Me. :D

  • Did they cancelled these series?

    I mean I love them...

    They started playing it here in Greece one week ago and I haven't missed an episode since then!!

  • me too!!!i like it very much!

  • Nai stin ellada teleiwse....=(

  • gt ekanan mn 13 episodeia????einai pl wraio:(

  • really?! is it a local channel or cable?

  • local

  • what the hell is wrong with fox that they would cancel this show!?! They must be ABSOUTLY RETARDED!!!! this was the best new show that season, so much better than joan of arcadia, its not predensous or preachy, its sooo funny and smart and some of the best one liners.... soooo stupid fox .....Soooo STUPID

  • the woman who played mahandra on this unaired pilot, played ray charles wife on the biopic 'ray'

  • Oh god I'm glad they replaced Mahandra and Jaye's brother. Lee Pace and...whoever plays Mahranda (lol) in the aired series were way better.

  • lol y do u hate canadians ?

    im not american but i watch movies where u guys and canadians fight a lot

  • I think it was a joke. I found it funny.

  • oh :p

  • i like this show... and i absolutely love pushing daisies. good thing lee pace replaced the original brother. hehe.

  • Yeah...cause Lee is HOT!

  • hell yah!! no doubt. i love his every performance so far. he's too adorable in miss pettigrew!

  • I mourn for this show.

  • Screw you Fox, screw you a thousand times.

    BTW Tyron Leitso is soooo cute. I love him

  • Seriously, I'm in love with Tyon. :D

  • that boy crying was me!

  • that was me!i was crying

  • oh thank goodness they changed it! Wonderfalls without Lee Pace would be so sad! :(

  • Lol. The way this opens reminds me so much of the first ep of Dead Like Me. I know they're both by Bryan Fuller, I just find it funny how similar they are. Even the way the girl speaks is similar to George on DLM.

  • This was an absolutely wonderful show. So much better than the other crap on tv.

  • whoa...howd you get a video

    up thats 40 mins long?

    theres a limit isnt there?

  • before there wasn't,

    it was a long time ago

  • I agree--the box set of the series is a must have!! It is wonderful to watch the entire series in order. This was on at the same time as dead like me...both being cancelled. Love the new show though....but I would love to see this show re-tooled and brought back. I think it was before its time!!

  • Tegan and Saraaaaaaaa <3

  • Lee Pace and Tracie Thoms are SO much better.  The girl playing Mohandra is unwatchable and the guy playing Aaron doesn't have Lee's quirk. I'm biased, though. :P

  • Damn, Kerry Washington "unwatchable"? Thats a lil harsh, dont you think? She wasnt THAT bad. I read somewhere that the only reason she didnt complete her role as Mahandra was because she couldnt commit to future episodes.

  • I just mean that I'm so used to Tracie's version of Mahandra that Kerry's version is unwatchable because it is so different. To me she IS NOT Mahandra, not even in the slightest. Tracie gives her this casual, tough girl persona, while Kerry makes her too girly and looks much too flimsy. Plus, there didn't seem to be much chemistry between her and Caroline. Sometime, things work out for the best and in this case it was Kerry's inability to commit to future episodes, as you said.

  • Well thats understandable. You get used to a certain actor playing a character that its strange to see anyone else playing that part. Especially if the character is played so differently. Then again, since this was the very 1st episode, the writers may have still been reworking the character. Like with Aaron's character, i read somewhere that because of Lee's performance, they were able to take the character in a different direction than where they had originally planned.

  • "Sharon and Poor Bitch sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Poor Bitch with the baby carriage." - CLASSIC!

  • I love this show! It's Fantastic. I'm really sad it was cancelled, i'm glad that Lee Pace took the place of the brother. Don't forget to watch this weeks episode at 8/7c this wednesday! The shows future depends on it!

  • The DVD of the series is worth getting.

    I saw the pilot when it aired, only once.

    Each episode most likely only aired once, of the ones that were aired.

    It was a strange FOX 2004 schedule where the shows where shown on different days.

  • I absolutely love this show, and I am glad Lee Pace took on the role of Jaye's brother!

  • aww i absaloutely loved everything about this series, especially lee pace:P, was gutted when it got dropped !but thankfully wev got Pushing Daisies with lee in it and the Fuller behind the scenes :) just hope it doesnt get dropped too :s so everyone has to watch it !

  • um...i dont know whats happened or anything but i watched this and then went to watch (S01E01 - the wax lion) and its the same one just wondering if there is a 00 episode or if someones named them wrong coz they NEVER put a episode 00 and episode 01 that are the same whats the point in that watching the same thing twice...just wondering if someone can help clear my dellima thanx (not getting up anyone ok, just trying to find out)

  • This episode is the unaired pilot. They had to remake the pilot because the actors playing Aaron and Mahandra changed. So they had to redo the scenes with them. So this version is with the old actors playing them. And episode one is with the new actors.

  • Jaye's brother - Pushing Daisies

    Mahandra - Rent

    Mouth Breather - Appears on Dead Like Me!!

    Im hella pissed that they aren't going to make Wonderfalls into a movie... or at that, bring it back on TV...

  • there's going to be a cross-over between wonderfalls and pushing daises :)

  • haha really?

  • The Mouth Breather( Neil Grayston )is currently staring in the fantastic show - "Eureka".

    It's amazing to see how adding Lee Pace and Tracie Thomas to the cast during the retool made it a perfectly cast show.

    "Not ashamed, mortified!"

  • один из лучших сериалов

  • this is the funniest thing i've ever seen!!

    thanx for posting!

  • Her character reminds me alot of the main character in Dead Like Me.

  • Aww I miss this show!! Anyone know when the Dead Like Me movie is coming out? I'm dying here waiting for it and no pun intended!!

    P.S. How the frak did you get over 38 minutes of footage up?

  • One of the bset shows in years. If you like this check out Dead Like Me.

  • this wasn't unaired, I definitely remember watching it on TV.

  • Does anyone bother to read the comments before they spout off? This pilot aired, it's just that some of the actors were different.

    LOVE this show!

  • Executive producer Bryan Fuller is also the exec on Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies.

    I love all three of these shows.

  • Wonderfalls was such a sweet, oddball show. I never saw it aired, but the full season dvd set was completely worth buying. It's weird to see these other actors playing their characters because the final cast of the show was pitch perfect. I love Tracie Thoms' energy and you really believe that Mahandra and Jaye have been friends for years.

  • I loved this show... damn fox and their crappy episode scheduling

  • Joan of Arcadia = treacly crap. Wonderfalls, not spelled out for you, much better. BTW, they were both conceived around the same time, so Wonderfalls borrowed nothing from Joan.

  • love this show

  • Wow, is it ever fun to see unaired pilots! I hadn't realized how much the score and music adds to the humor of the show. And, really, THANK GOD they found Tracie Thoms. Kerry Washington could not come off more stiff and uncomfortable than she does in her scene. What a world of difference from Tracie's Majandra! For those who have never seen Wonderfalls, please be sure to go watch the aired pilot. It really is amazing how small changes make the show so so much better. :)

  • hey gr8 show

    i cant believe those idiots cancled it!!!

    FUCK!!!

    What are the songs in this episode??

    BRING BACK WONDERFALLS!!!!!!!!!

    :D

  • the last song is a tegan and sara song,

    from the album If It Was You

  • i heard about this while i was looking up info about Lee Pace. This show is good and i'm glad you posted it. It reminds me of Joan of Arcadia but much better. It doesnt come off as so preachy, so it rocks with its off-humor. Thanks. :)

  • i heard about this while i was looking up info about Lee Pace. This show is good and i'm glad you posted it. It reminds me of Joan of Arcadia but much better. It doesnt come off as so preachy, so it rocks with its off-humor. Thanks. :)

  • hil-ari-ous!!!!!

  • I agree. Tracie Thoms and Lee Pace are WAY better than the people they originally chose.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! The DVD box set is great.

  • Oh my god this show looks brilliant! I wish I could get it on DVD here.

  • u can

  • Amazing and original show...thankfully it's available on DVD.

    Idiots should never have cancelled it...

  • This was on TV! Once....im sure it was....some of it...

  • I love love love this show! Its a pity it was cancelled after one season. Tsk!

  • ugh w/o lee!!!

  • I definitely prefer Tracie Thoms and Lee Pace over the original people...

    I like Pushing Daisies. Plus the other guy didn't hit the "I mean... Clearly." as well. =]

  • OMG Kerry Washington!!

  • I agree, this series was awesome. Was really bummed when it was canceled.

  • wow the new majandra is SO much better. that one was weird and awkward.

  • That one was Kerry Washington.

    HOLY CRAP!! LOL!!

  • I remember this was on sky, I loved this, it was the most random thing I ever saw, it's up tere with dead like me and the mighty bosh on the random scale, I wish they hadn't cancelled it

  • i like the actors they ended up with better

  • great show, thnks for uploading! too bad the cancelled the show. it has great potential.

  • I like the guy they wound up with better. The trailer park is different,too.

  • I don't think Ghost is the first ANYTHING to have someone or something singing all night to keep someone awake.

    Nothing is truly original.

  • So, when I was quite young, I saw the adverts for this and thought it looked painfully dumb.

    I was wrong.

    Fox sucks at advertising.

    This is fantastic.

  • Another great show bites the dust,along with Firefly and others. Fox should have gave this show more time to gain an audience.

  • Anyone know the name of the music in the spounge bath scene?

  • Hear Me Out - frou frou

  • You are awesome, thank you.

  • LOVED this show so much! Was it Fox or CBS that canceled Now And Again, another great show. Anyone have any idea if either of these shows will be released on dvd?

  • Wonderfalls is on DVD. I bought it a few years ago. And I don't know what Now and Again is. Do you mean Once and Again? I believe that is on DVD as well.

  • No, I remember Once and Again. It actually came out the same year as Now and Again, but lasted longer. I have since bought Wonderfalls and watch it all the time. Now and Again was about a man who was hit by a train and they put his brain inside of a superhuman gorgeous man.

  • where can i buy wonderfalls dvds i love this show it was to good for fox so it was canceled

  • Fox sucks

  • It should be noted that the only reason the dvds came out was the thousands of loyal fans who petitioned FOX for it. The dvds are Widescreen with a killer 5.1 surround mix. Thirteen films, if you will. There's commentary on certain episodes, including my favorite, "Lovesick Ass", plus the music video of Andy Partridge's (XTC) theme song and a documentary on the making of the series. I'm just damned grateful I signed that petition. A must-have dvd set.

  • I too was annoyed when Fox canceled this show, but some of the rage and anger that people direct towards networks and network executives should be directed at the American public. No network, which is a business after all, is going to keep a show on the air if it's not making money. It's people who choose to watch stuff like "According to Jim" and not watch "Pushing Daisies" who are the main problem.

  • oh man its sooo strange to watch these actors play mahondra and jay's bro! im so glad lee and tracie replaced them. especially tracie, that other girl looks like shes just repeatig memorized lines... not very expressive facially, but it may be b/c i saw the reg pilot a million times so its so awkward for me to watch this! also the sound.. wow i like the ones in the original pilot/dvd soooo much better... so much..

  • oh wow ,i am SO glad Lee Pace was the brother!! And the same goes for Tracie

  • wow 10 minutes, your attention span amazes me

  • Why is it that some videos are only 10 minutes long whereas a few have uploads til one hour?

  • The original pilot also excludes the scene where Jaye Smith almost chokes to death on her sandwich. They mentioned this in the commentary how the studio wanted some background on that day.

  • yeah i've noticed a few other differences, like prominence of the purse during the customer asking for a discount. this one, wasn't so obvious, but they put some shots in on the second one that really showed the purse to give context.

    also, i think the soundtrack was very different. sounds are really different (for the better!)

  • me encanta me encanta me encanta

  • One of the best shows ever on TV. Easily in my top 5. And Jaye is one of my all-time favorite characters. Lee Pace and Tracie Thoms were nice changes for the actual series cast. I've watched Pushing Daisies, and you can see Wonderfalls elements. Wonderfalls was a better show, though. Tragic quick cancellation. Thanks, Fox.

  • yeah totally. lee pace and tracie thoms were integral changes. the whole series would have been seriously different different without them; both those actors brought such good quirks in delivery.

    and much as i like pushing daisies, it's just not as good as wonderfalls. it just isn't.

  • One bites the dust, then the other & perhaps 'Pushing Daises'. Fuller's first dramedy 'Dead Like Me' (the one that bit the dust first)is much better. Wonderfalls is a good show compared to a lot of what stays on the air. I hope 'Daises' works out better and look forward to the 'Dead Like Me' movie!

  • I totally forgot about this show...I used to watch it...it was really good and then it just disappeared one day.

  • this show was amazing. everyone at fox is a fucking idiot. they canceled all of there good shows. this one, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks. theyre complete morons. their whole network sucks and they have no good shows.

  • While I agree that Fox sucks (haven't even watched it since they cancelled Arrested Development... nothing worth watching on that damn channel unless you like watching old reruns of shows), they never had Freaks and Geeks on their network. That was NBC, so you should direct your anger towards them. I think you thought that Fox cancelled it because Fox Family used to show reruns of it after it was cancelled.

  • good choice putting Lee Pace on the show!

  • I know! :D
