Am watching Wonderfalls, the second TV show I started to watch without any idea what it's about, but which friends mentioned in weblogs. (The first was Carnivale.) Yeeeees, I can see why my friends like it. It reminds me of Northern Exposure, but with a different spin... all the main characters seem to be equally perplexed, but are trying very hard. It's charming.

The opening credits montage failed to explain the show's consistent gimmick, the main character's innate speak with tchotchkes spell-like ability as a 12th-level ranger, so I am not sure what's going on here. She seems upset when it happens, suggesting more insanity than fancy. This is interesting, though it could be stupid. We'll see.
