Remember when people watched 6 or so non-cable broadcast tv networks, and Firefly on was the air and then abruptly cancelled?
There was another high quality show on the same network, also unjustly cancelled.... Wonderfalls.
A 20-something underachieving girl who works at a gift shop near Niagara Falls hears a defective wax lion telling her to do things. If she doesn't obey, it keeps talking. Other animal-toys or images take their turns telling her what to do. When she obeys, people's lives get better, usually through unusual coincidences. Her disaffected life gets better too, and a romance develops between her and a bartender with a broken heart.
Fans got the show released on DVD.
The people behind this also made Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me.

More about me.
I've always wanted to be a #writer of #scienceFiction and #fantasy but working as a #computerProgrammer, #softwareDeveloper, #agileTrainer, and #coursewareDeveloper is how I made my money.
I've written one #romcom #novel so far, not yet published, and a few articles on #extremeProgramming which were published. I might be a better editor than a writer.
my literary heroes include Terry Pratchett #discworld and Theodore Sturgeon

"Remember when the internet cried actual tears for an anglerfish earlier this year? Now, TikTok has a new deep-sea obsession.
Brought to light by creator and wildlife biologist Josh Allyn, TikTok has recently discovered “Octopolis” and “Octlantis”—two real underwater sites off the coast of Australia where gloomy octopuses have been quietly building their own cities and complex societies.
“I’m kinda pissed right now. Was nobody going to tell me that octopuses are creating their own underwater cities?” he said in a video posted last week. It has since gone viral with 13 million views at the time of this writing. “I had to find out through Instagram Reels. What the hell.”

Satanic panic (1980s)
"It was my first, and most profound, experience with a large group of people -- my teachers and other authority figures -- being completely consumed by bullshit that I knew was fake. I would watch these breathless news stories and listen to my teachers repeating whatever nonsense they'd been fed at church or on talk radio, and know in my heart and soul that none of it was true, because I listened to the music and played the games and watched the movies, as did all of my friends, and none of us were conjuring black masses (though if we'd had the candles and robes, I'm sure we would have cosplayed it)."
