Hi Dreamer,

Did you post the email adresses for the Ms Morgan & Bernstein on the TIW Forum ? (Not here, but on this is wonderland.com site). Thanks for the added info. Later,

I'm so sad. This is one of the only shows I love that was still on the air. Thanks for the e-mail addresses, I'm going to write in to voice my disappointment. Really though, I'm amazed that this wonderful show even lasted 3 seasons. Usually all the excellent shows are cancelled right away.

oh damnit! That's awful news. I can't believe it. I thought this show would last at least a couple more seasons. It will be missed

is this a Canadian show? I have never heard of it.

[–] queenbead 18 years ago

Yes, it's on the CBC. Not many American cable companies carry CBC but ours in Western WA does. It's an excellent show.

[–] dragongrrrllll 18 years ago

That just sucks out loud. What a shame to lose yet another good show while the mediocre shows just seem to keep getting renewed forever.

Thanks for the update, David, even though it is very sad news. I guess we'll just enjoy the rest of this season while we can.

it's cbc, they never do anything right, what do you expect?

[–] queenbead 18 years ago

It's such a great show, and I feel cheated out of any kind of real final episode. I've been loyal to the show from Day 1 and I'm very invested in all of the characters. And now Elliot's girlfriend is pregnant and we'll never get to see how that plays out.

Our cable system carries the CBC here in Western WA and I watch a lot of their shows. Why are the tired "22 minutes" and "Air Farce" shows still on? 22 minutes is no good w/o Mary Walsh, Rick Mercer & Greg Thomey. So CBC keeps those on but cancels Wonderland?!?! At this point the only show on CBC I like is "Hatching Matching & Dispatching"!!

I think its safe to say that This is Wonderland cost most than 22 Minutes and Air Farce. I think I read a few years back when it first started that Walker said it was about $1 Million per episode (I was writting a grade 12 drama report about George F. Walker when the series started).

So, anyone wanna venture a guess as to who died post final ep ?
