Wonderfalls (known as Maid in the Mist and Maid of the Mist during development) was a short-lived but critically acclaimed romantic comedy on FOX. The show is set in the town of Niagara Falls, where 24-year-old Jaye Tyler works as a clerk in one of the many souvenir shops. Living in a trailer park, the Brown philosophy major Jaye has refused to make anything of her life and only survives through a healthy dose of sarcasm and beer.

This all starts to change when inanimate objects suddenly begin talking to her, and tell her to do things. Reluctant at first, she quickly realizes that she really doesn't have a say in what's going on, and that she is thoroughly the Universe's bitch. And that she is most probably crazy.

Trying to balance all of this, everything starts getting really complicated when Jaye meets and falls for the bartender Eric—who went to Niagara Falls for his honeymoon, but decided to stay when he caught his wife with the bellboy.

Other important characters are Jaye's best friend Mahandra and the Tyler family: Mother Karen, father Darrin, brother Aaron and sister Sharon.

The show was executive produced by Tim Minear and was his second show canceled by FOX during its first season, the first being Firefly (and later The Inside, Drive and The Chicago Code suffered the same fate). The entire series of 13 episodes is available on DVD.
