possibly pynchonesque?

Fox's 'Wonderfalls' Is A Welcome Entry Into Surreality Television

"Wonderfalls" is wonderful.

A seductively strange, semi-surreal comedy series from Fox, premiering at
9 tonight on Channel 5, "Wonderfalls" represents a rare commodity in
television -- weirdness with warmth.

To visit the falls is to join in its perpetual celebration of
wondrousness and banality. Bouncing back and forth between the two is
Jaye Tyler, the main character -- a clerk at a souvenir shop called, yes,
Wonderfalls. Her life appears to have been pretty dull and disappointing
until now, something of which she is sardonically aware. But she's about
to be yanked into what Rod Serling might have called a kooky corner of
the Twilight Zone, a virtual parallel universe where all bets are off. 

It is a place where inanimate objects become suddenly animate, turning
uncharacteristically and inexplicably chatty. They've lurched to life in
order to help Jaye straighten hers out, although the advice they give is
often of dubious worth or no worth at all. Jaye learns this soon enough,
but she's too naturally adventurous to resist. No, actually, she's just
desperate. She also thinks she just might be going insane.
