*ANDY PARTRIDGE* : I did a song called "I Wonder Why The Wonderfalls" for Wonderfalls, the Fox TV drama. The buggers sped it up because it was a second too long. It drove me nuts when I heard it.

I'm glad we have this youtube version which allows us to hear the song as it was meant to be. Anyway, you are not the only artist who comes away from being affected by network executive's decisions wondering why the wonder only falls on them. It doesn't. It falls on all who have to deal with them.

The punishment for being honest. Until the end will you fight, and thank you. We are out there, the ones that love you and you changed our lives and we love you. Never forget us and we never forget you when you are gone, hopefully in no hurry. Love Fuzzy Warbles. Yes, the scum will be scum as they are, but many love you and wish for more. Do what you can. I know life is rough as you get older. I am fighting to continue to play bass. I have my own issues, however you keep up what you are able. True believers, like me, love you for your inspiration and will never forget you until our dying day. 😀Love you always, me and my musical friends.

Yeah, they are rough. Andy you are my favorite. If I ever get into money I would pay well to have a tour of Swinton. Music hero obviously. Been a more than a bit bitter, but not one can blame you. You have always been true to music over money and never sold out. Maybe not the masses, but my friends and I since the 80's have never lost faith in you. I bought all your albums including the Fuzzy Warbles, We do know and appreciate your intellect. Don't die! Enjoy the rest of life! I have a rescued parrot and he is difficult but he can never go back to Africa and I live to make him have the best life I can. I understand you ears and yuou don't need to ever write another song. You have done more than enough to keep us motivated for the future. You succeeded, You have passed the patoon.

Andy, I have a lot of faith in you. Just a suggestion but you should do tours of Swindon like you did a video long ago. I would pay for that, in fact I would pay a million American dollars if I had it to spend a day with you showing the world what affected your writing in your environment. You more than anything deserve the profit. Best is, it is real and fairly earned. Rare today. Consider it. I feel good as I earn no profit and never would,, but it would be profit from your music that you than I can add to and deserve. Consider.

The show was too quirky for a mainstream US show at the time. It'd probably get a far better crack if had been made now. Well worth tracking down the DVD set. The theme tune is also barking, Mr Partridge at his eclectic best.

Frankly, if anyone should accept "quirky" with open arms, it should be Americans. I think it's more of a case of Americans not getting ANYTHING outside the realm of Disney, pickup trucks, pop country, beer, and crime documentaries. I have lived here for 65 years, and I still don't feel at home... why is that, do you suppose? "I wonder why"...

Like an overarching.. arch, all of Fuller's TV-series, also the more recent Hannibal and most recent American Gods should be implicitly understood to happen in the same Fullerian universe. Funny thing, if you look closely at every series he ever wrote, there are not only crossovers but Fuller also takes things, wether they be perspectives, techniques or visual and narrative motifs from his earlier series and uses them in the next (like the dreamy sequences taken from Hannibal are used very liberally in American Gods but there are many, many more.)

Shows that aren't dumbed down get canceled. The CEO's of the 6 companies ,who control most of the media, think people can't appreciate anything that isn't the same old, same old or ,God forbid, makes you think or feel something outside their predictable narrative. I loved Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daises, and Community-which lasted 6 seasons ,but, had it's problems with a rather lame 4th season, finding it hard to recover the same level of quality afterwards. The fact that cast members were leaving one by one didn't help though.
