Within the show, 'Crime Dog' has an illegal Canadian immigrant pretending to be a naturalized American citizen.Fake American: Quebecer Caroline Dhavernas as Jaye (and yes, that extended to the Canadian French dub for the show, which she also recorded).The people at Fox apparently thought there were too many blonde girls in the show, and had Sharon's love interest wear a rather fake looking brunette wig throughout the season.In a less show-endy way, they also made the show change its opening credits because they didn't have enough shots of Jaye smiling, and they had them cut out a shot of Eric fainting because he wasn't 'manly enough'.However, it can be argued that the decision to delay the broadcast allowed the producers to complete filming of all 13 episodes of the first season so that, when Fox cancelled the show after only four episodes, fans were still able to view a complete storyline, even if they had to wait a year or so for the DVD.

Of course Joan ended up being a huge hit and by releasing the show a few months later they definitely looked like they were ripping off the show. Executive Meddling: When they found that the show Joan of Arcadia would be released around the same time as Wonderfalls with a very similar premise, Fox decided to hold off on premiering Wonderfalls, not wanting to risk looking like a rip off.Of course, anyone who's actually been there will realize that the view directly across includes the American Falls, which would be on the left if one was actually on the American side. California Doubling: Niagara Falls, Ontario (and environs) doubles for Niagara Falls, New York (ditto).
