Rockin' "Wonderfalls" Quiz

Yes, Fox cancelled "Wonderfalls" after only four episodes. But it was still funny, witty, and better than "Joan of Arcadia." Let's hope that it will somehow get back on the air, but in the meantime, why not take this rockin' quiz about a rockin' show.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the first inanimate object that talks to Jaye?

Answer: the wax lion

After the wax lion talks to Jaye in the pilot episode (aptly titled "Wax Lion"), she faints and has what her family calls "a 'sode."

2. What do Jaye, her family, and her friends call Alec, the assistant manager at Wonderfalls?

Answer: mouth-breather

When Alec discovers Jaye's nickname for him by reading Bianca's notes, he responds, "Just so you know, I have a deviated septum, and I have to wait three more years for my cartilage to stop growing before I can have the surgery." Poor mouth-breather.

3. What was Jaye's major at Brown?

Answer: philosophy

Her brother Aaron has a Ph.D. (or possibly several) in religion, though.

4. In "Karma Chameleon," what does the stuffed chameleon tell Jaye to do?

Answer: "Get her words out"

Jaye has to get Bianca's words out, both to help her recover from her stutter and to force her to write her article. The fish on the wall in the bar tells Jaye to "get the hint," the wind-up penguin tells her to "bring her back to him," and the wax lion tells her not to give the woman's money back.

5. Who sings the theme song to "Wonderfalls"?

Answer: Andy Partridge

David Cassidy was a member of the fictional "Partridge Family," but it is Andy Partridge wrote the quirky "Wonderfalls" theme. It goes:

"We're bobbin' along in our barrel

Some of us tip right over the edge

But there's one thing really mystifyin'

Got me laughin' and it's got me cryin'

All my life it would be death-defyin'

Until I know

I wonder, wonder why the wonder falls

I wonder why the wonder falls on me

I wonder, wonder why the wonder falls

With everything I touch and do and see."

6. According to Jaye, why didn't the Maid of the Mist die when she was swallowed by the god that lived in the water?

Answer: she was hot

The Maid of the Mist was a princess whose last words were, "I surrender to destiny." Jaye tells the little boy asking about the video tape that the chief thought sacrificing his daughter would be "honorable, or something," but the reason she gives for the princess's survival is that the god thought she was hot.

7. In Bianca's article about Gen-Y slackers, what is the (fake) name of the girl it is about?

Answer: Jen Why

The article's title is, "Who is Jen Why?" It features a picture of Bianca wearing a Wonderfalls vest embroidered with the name Jen Why.

8. What is the name of the bar Jaye frequents?

Answer: The Barrel

Wonderfalls is the name of the souvenier store Jaye works in. Hillcrest Hotel is the name of the place where the priest stayed in "Wound-Up Penguin."

9. In "Pink Flamingoes," Jaye goes to a high school reunion. How many years out of high school is she?

Answer: 6 1/2

The letter Jaye gets reads, "Can't wait. Save the date. Rooster class of '98." Her father reads it aloud and tells her, "There's no reason for you to skip the ten-year reunion," to which Jaye responds, "Right. Because it's only been six-and-a-half years."

10. What is the name of Jaye's best friend?

Answer: Mahandra

Sharon is Jaye's sister. Gretchen is the girl who organizes the high school reunion in "Pink Flamingoes." Throughout the whole episode, Gretchen refers to Mahandra as Janet, even though Mahandra repeatedly corrects her.

11. Who is the executive producer of "Wonderfalls"?

Answer: Tim Minear

All four were writers for "Angel," but Tim Minear broke off to work on "Wonderfalls."

12. What is Jaye's mother's profession?

Answer: author

Karen writes books about the history of Niagara Falls for a living. Darrin is the doctor and Sharon is the lawyer.

13. According to Eric, what was his wife obsessed with?

Answer: bed linens

He cites the thread-count of the sheets in the hotel room as the reason she cheated on him with the bellboy.

14. What do all the members of Jaye's family, except for Jaye, have in common?

Answer: they have rhyming names

Their names are Karen, Darrin, Sharon, and Aaron. Poor Jaye is the only one whose name doesn't match. Both Jaye and Aaron are brunettes. Everyone has a job except Aaron, who is a full-time student. Although I'm not sure where Aaron lives, it is clear that Sharon does not still live in the Tyler home.

15. What DOESN'T the wax lion say to Jaye?

Answer: "Destroy Gretchen"

It is the rooster barrette in Gretchen's hair that tells Jaye to destroy her.
