LisaBMar 4, 200610Fantastic Show which caught my eye considering i rarely watch TV, however i have trouble finding it again as the last two times it has been on a different times and this week it is on neither of the previously times and seem to have disappeared altogether. When the bloody hell is it on again please!

-
PixelMar 1, 20069It started of slow and fairly corny but then grew into this amazing story that kept us guessing. The last episode was truely on of the best things I've ever seen on TV, I'm still trying to get my heart rate back down. Here's hoping for season 2 and a DVD release soon.

-
GinEJun 30, 200610They cancel a show because the reviewers say "they did not like it" but they'll keep reality crap on TV that make normal people hate their lives. Good Job you dumb jerks. My whole family loved the show which is rare

DENISERJul 3, 200610I love this Show; every week my 5 kids and I would sit in the living room just to see what was going to happened that week... and that's rare..It unique; exciting; you laugh you cry it all in one. It's not the same old boring shows & plots they give every week... We want more....you guys are awesome ;finally something we look forward to seeing....Thank You; Denise & my kids

-
-
KathyVNov 30, 200610Very interesting show. I can't believe they cancelled it. I guess shows with imagination don't make it on TV any more.
-
-
JoeMJan 30, 20069Awesome show! I can't wait for each episode every week. If you like Sci-fi, but down to earth style, you will love surface!
-
-
DaigoVFeb 6, 200610Surface is... misterious, appealing, exciting. A good mix of Sci-fi and drama, it really appeals an audience that is widely ignored by most commercial free TV. I offer Two Toes way UP!
-
-
CarmenHFeb 9, 200610Great show that caught my eye.
-
-
RebeccaFApr 9, 200610I love this show so much it is a great thriller it kept me on the edge of my seat at some points in the show!!! I can't wait until next season!!!
-
-
lesliecJul 14, 200610kept the tension going throughout. humorous too.
-
-
HaleySJul 25, 200610I loved this show it kept you on the edge of your seat.And I absolutly loved how the season ended. I'm real mad because now I'll never get to know what happened.
-
-
RyanMJul 6, 200610Surface is one of the better sci-fi shows out right now
-
-
DonnaMarieMAug 21, 200610From Ireland - downloaded it on Itunes - best show ever had my family addicted. Have to bring it back would be stupid not too, best thing since xfiles.
-
-
PaulLSep 9, 200610NBC needs to fire those in charge of cancelling surface. Great show---bring it back please!
-
-
LindaSJan 4, 200710I didn't know it was canceled. I was hoping to see it as a mid season replacement. Now, I'm sad. Please bring it back.
-
-
AdrianH.May 27, 200710Absolutely fantasic, an original story line that breaks the boundries of scifi and the family, a must for any family with teenage kids and parents alike
-
-
JohnMOct 19, 200510It took a few episodes, but I think this one has passed the other sci-fi-ish offerings on TV this year. As more of the stopry starts to emerge, this show is just getting better and better
-
-
GMOct 20, 20059This is an excellent show. The best of the new sci-fi offerings. Much better than all the reality garbage that litters TV today. Unlike Invasion, where we are yet to see what the darn creatures look like, this show reveals a bit more of the creatures each episode. While it does borrow from other scifi movies, the overall story is quite original.
-
-
ScottRDec 6, 20059There's essentially three different story lines working at all times on this show. (1) the government cover-up, (2) the sexy protagonist & pal trying to figure out what's going on, and (3) the teenager who adopts an infant creature. Although #3 is a stinker, #1 and #2 are very good. I highly recommend it!
-
-
jodymOct 20, 20059this is easily one of the best shows this season. who gives a flying ^%^&*()^& what the critics think. they obviously have no idea what good is.
-
-
JeffFJan 10, 200610The Best show!!!!!!!! Better than Lost and all the others. The critics are out of touch with good entertainment and impossible to please so to hell with them.
-
-
CheryleMNov 8, 200610I can't believe they cancelled 1 of the best shows.. I really looked forward to seeing this show every week. I'm really disappointed in the network for letting this show go !!! How stupid can you be !!!!
-
-
JessicaNJan 19, 200610I love this show. All the people who spewed vitriol on the show must have only seen one episode or part of one episode. And since when is Speilbergian an insult?
-
-
APJan 3, 20069What do the critics know? Of course it's far fetched and at times, most of the time, unbelievable, after all it's Sci-fi! I recommend it, it's a good watch for the entire family.
-
-
mickesJan 3, 200610Awsome show!, i never miss an episode, so cool!
-
-
amysOct 6, 200610I loved this show !!!!!!! I know when the critics don't like something then the program will be great! This goes for everything -- tv, movies, plays, etc. what world do they live in? BRING BACK SURFACE!!!! As usual we are left wondering what next was going to happen
-
-
BEttyeROct 7, 200610Best Sci-Fi I have seen. What a shame not to continue, all newspaers were neg and those who watched week after week were positive.
-
-
DuaneSFeb 1, 20069Love the show. Look forward to each new episode. Beats the hell out of "reality shows". The critics take all the fun out of story telling. They get too artsy fartsy and don't just take things for what they are. I think this is great entertainment! Hope it stays on for as long as possible.
-
-
MinaHFeb 4, 200610Ignore the know-it all, seen-it-all critics and professional cynics. "Surface" has great storytelling and is consistently well acted and written. This is a great deep sea mystery/conspiracy yarn that maintains multiple suspenseful storylines with just the right mix of action and human drama. Lake Bell is (surprise!) terrific.
-
-
CharlesKFeb 7, 200610Surface and Battlestar Galactica are the two best shows on television.
-
-
ChrisAMar 10, 200610Awsome show, I hope there's a second season.
-
-
DanielfromthedeepMar 26, 20069Intriguing episode after episode, one of the best scifi shows around!!
-
-
mikecMar 30, 200610I loved the show. It was the best i have seen in a long time. I hope it comes back on
-
-
MistyFMar 30, 200610I love this show!! Its refreshing and something NEW!! I'm just hoping that they bring it back for a second season.
-
-
AprylTMar 30, 200610My family really enjoyed this television series, we are huge sci-fi fans. We would like to know when this show will be back for it's next season.
-
-
NikkiWApr 1, 200610I can't wait untill the second season!
-
-
KelTMay 1, 200610I finally saw all 15 episodes and I just love it!! It's definitely one of the best sci-fi shows around!
-
-
tinahMay 2, 200610Unique and interesting. The networks no longer give a show a chance. They run a couple of episodes these days and then cancel the show. This show needs to be given a second chance.
-
-
DavidRMay 6, 200610Great show-not at all like the other boring shows on NBC. Keep it!
-
-
JERMAINEBMay 8, 200610one good show!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
GregPJun 17, 200610I watched this series again on Universal HD and loved it. I WANT MORE!!!!!
-
-
MichaelBJun 25, 200610My son and I watched this show every week. It was fun and I wish that Nimrod was coming back.
-
-
RobertEJul 10, 200610great show... moving plot, doesn't cheat me with cheap cliff-hangers... the plot and plot tension between episodes are legitimate to the story... they do an excellent job of suspending reality and nothing ever happens that makes me say "wait, that's not consistent with what happened earlier" hope we have a season 2
-
-
kimnJul 11, 200610the show was great you get pulled in by the story its so refreshing to see something other than the usual shows in which typical critics find interesting
-
-
rongJul 11, 20069I think that critics look too hard for what's wrong, instead of giving it a chance first. all of my family and friends loved this show, and were disappointed when it was canned. what a shame. i still hold out hope. the plot has a lot of potential, the effects are good, and the characters are genuine people you root for.
-
-
LizzySJul 1, 200610This show is the best show EVER. I never knew they canceled it, i haven't seen anything on it. Me, my mom, and dad watched every week. And the way they ended the first season, i was really looking forward to the second season, I can' t believe the canceled it, it rocked.
-
-
SamanthaJul 14, 200610The first two episodes were a little iffy, but it improved and ended up being my favorite show EVER.
-
-
EdwinKJul 17, 20069I thought it was good TV entertainment.
-
-
ScottHJul 2, 200610They don't make good SciFi like this anymore. Enough with reality TV! I want entertainment that doesn't come from the intelligence level of an ape. Please save us from TV retardation!
-
-
JeffKJul 6, 200610fun, entertaining and suspensful show to watch. Always wondering what's next.
-
-
LionelAJul 6, 20069The show started off kinda slow but, really picked up after the first 3 episodes. I loved the show. Bring it back.

RobertDAug 15, 200610My favorite show last year really pissed if it doesn't come back!!
-
-
tombAug 27, 200610one of the better shows along with invasion. never should have been cancelled.
-
-
StephanRAug 29, 200610It´s fantastic!!
-
-
PascalBAug 3, 200610Hope that NBC will change there mind and go with a second season. If not it will be really sad... SURFACE is the best sci-fi series i've seen in the past 5 years.
-
-
sandrauSep 13, 200610Love the show, and I can't stop watching it. There are not too many shows out there that makes you look forward to the followng week to see what's going to happen.
-
-
heatheraSep 21, 200610I'm very disappointed this show was cancelled. My 7-year old and I were waiting all summer for this to come back on.
-
-
nathansSep 20, 200610this show ws incredible, it kept me on my feet wanting to know what was going ot happen next. i loved how there was one main plot and a whole bunch of sub-plots leaking off the main plot. please bring it back! i really want to know what happens next!
-
-
CristinaASep 27, 200610I love SURFACE, bring it back!!!
-
-
CraigVJan 30, 200710I just watched this on DVD. I cannot believe a TV-Show of this quality even made it to network TV - and then cancelled. Everything about this show was done right, great acting, effects, pacing, cinematography, EVERYTHING. BRING THIS SHOW BACK!! If not on NBC then some other network, please.
-
-
maridynMar 20, 200710Its so captivating that my whole family fell for it! It was so good! It is the best series our family has seen in a long time,to bad we found that out by buying the dvd! WOW now we want more! This show ROCKS! I don't know anyone that could sit through one episode without wanting to see more! This show is a big hit! BRING ON MORE!
-

julieyApr 21, 200710I loved this show and was very disappointed when it was cancelled

PeteRNov 10, 20059it is a great show.. I do like the x-files like story line..
-
-
jimhOct 10, 200510It's better then Jaws so far, wish they would put it on DVD after awhile, out it with my other shark dvds movies I have
-
-
MariaTNov 17, 200510The storyline is good and the special effects are fantastic for a TV series.
-
-
marcusOct 10, 200510this show is extremely awsome.this is a great show.finally some thing to look foward to on mondays
-
-
JohnJOct 10, 20059The critics are wrong. Though not a high mark in TV drama it is the best new show of the season. Now that might not be saying much but I find in one of the better over all well done TV shows in some time. Filming, character development, plot lines. Now you have to buy into giant sea monsters but thats what Sci Fi is about.
-
-
sharonnNov 3, 200510I have not had a TV show captivate me in years the way Surface has managed to do. What a great cast, amazing story line and an awesome concept! I am awaiting next weeks episode with baited breath!
-
-
SheridanHOct 17, 20059Ok so I'm a geek, but this show is fun and inspite what the critics say, worth watching. I've been a fan of Spielbergs for a long time and I look forward to tracking the crators of this show Josh and Jonas Pates careers. Hopefully this show will last a few seasons. Two words for the critics Bah Humbug!

brentMOct 17, 200510One of the most entertaining new shows in a long time, hopefully time will tell the critics wrong!!!
-
-
JackieLOct 18, 20059Great concept, both suspenseful and thought provoking. Characters need to be fleshed out and some gaps to be filled but hopefully the network will let this show grow. Critics missed another one but the fan base should grow and appreciate a good sci fi offering.
-
-
JaredProphetOct 21, 200510I Love this show. With Lost, Alias, Invasion, Threshold, Night Stalker, Medium, Commander in Cheif... TV IS BACK!!!!!
-
-
[Anonymous]Oct 6, 20059I enjoy this series
-
-
ReggieOct 11, 200610Great story, great plot, great characters...can't say anything wrong about this show.
-
-
ConnieSOct 11, 200610Boycott all NBC shows, until Surface comes back. I know I will. Was watching a couple of their new shows. No more NBC, they should have ordered more 1st season, so the story line could have been drawn out more, then to cancel it! Can you say S-T-U-P-I-D???
-
-
TanjaM.Nov 23, 200610It's a really great show. You never know what is going to happen next. All the smug critics cited above are just trying to outdo each other with their 'witty' comments.
-
-
SherriHOct 13, 20069Please bring Surface back - it was such a great show!!!!!
-
-
delmOct 30, 200610great show, good plot, good characters, suspenseful. I can't believe they didn't bring it back earlier.
-
-
KateDOct 9, 20069I'm a lit. teacher and I know this show was flawed, but it was flawed in all the right ways! Big, messy, exciting, compelling, and driven by a fantastic female character. I'm so disappointed it is cancelled.
-
-
JayF.Feb 19, 200610Finally a sci-fi show that is a great combination of the Speilberg films and the old monster movies we all grew up watching.
-
-
KatieBFeb 19, 200610I have been waiting and waiting to catch this show since I first saw the trailer for the beginning of it, but I didn't catch it until now! I've only seen on episode, well into the season and have no idea what's going on, but I am absolutely completely hooked! Brilliant show, and I love the creatures!
-
-
ChristophergFeb 6, 200610Great show, I too can't wait for new episodes. Sad to learn that NBC might can it.
-
-
AmandaFMar 16, 200610My family all love it . One of the best shows ever . Myles and Nim were truly the stars . Hope it comes back because I know we will be desperately waiting for another season.
-
-
fazuleyaMar 24, 200610just a one question from my side when will the second series start
-
-
VickySMar 31, 200610I find this sho is great, it have suspense and is very interesting. I think NBC should bring back the second season. I dont understand why people will spect a Scienc fiction, pay attention to the last word fiction would be believable.
-
-
garywfMar 5, 200610one of the best shows on tv to date. c'mon you can't leave us hanging!!
-

DarrenHApr 22, 200610i'm Brittish and love the show. The public's opinion is what matters the most, not that of critics. I have introduced my friends to the show and they are addicted ! It should stay.
-
-
ChrisDMay 6, 200610tis is a great show , a new version of spielbergs imagination, this show must continue
-

LanieCJun 20, 20069I saw one episode while I was babysitting and was HOOKED! I've showed a little to my mom, it was enough for her to buy our cable back!

30It's a bland Spielberg wannabe that doesn't succeed in evoking much creepiness or wonder
-
12The most confusing ensemble drama of the new season.
-
40Though relentlessly ominous, "Surface" is, so far, only good for surface scares.
