Nov 11, 20111this web site defaults all reviews to 10 so that the first time one submits a review one might be surprised to discover that their review that identifies a lousy show gets a rating of 10.... silly way to structure the functionality

Sep 12, 20119I loved this show it is fun for the whole family. I can't believe the critics were so harsh. It's was a lot of fun to watch. I watched all 15 episodes in a two day marathon with my girlfriend. Very sad there is no season II
-
Jul 16, 20119this show is super fun and campy... all of you who don't like it obviously are just full of hate it like syfy original movie but marginally better cg and acting
really solid "monster movie" score too just enjoy it fools! -
Oct 11, 20107Was never given a fair go. Greedy networks treating us fans with contempt. Just pull the plug with no closure. Again. Maybe it's just the shows I like.

ElizabethJJan 24, 20101Carter Jenkins' performance is one of the worst I've ever seen. He has one expression, mild surprise. Much like Daniel Radcliff as Harry Potter. God Awful.

JamesM.Jul 21, 200810I loved this show..and never missed a single episode at all...I wish that they would have kept this show on the air. I think its time for a network that will show nothing but canceled shows that audiences enjoy.

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

WalterDMar 24, 20078What happened with the show? It's over? Without disclosing the specimen origin's? It was a good show, with a very good argument, but it lost a lot when the scientist (i don't remember his name) was killed.

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!
-
-
MikeMFeb 15, 200710I'm not a big sci-fi fan but, Surface is the best No matter how busy I was I always made time to watch every episode. This is one show that needs to be brought 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.
-
-
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.

-
MaxEDec 24, 20064If you're looking for so-called 'sci-fi' miniseries,i prefer you to watch Stargate SG-1.And if you're looking for mysterious and thrill one,i bet you should see LOST or Prison Break .Everything about this show is quite predictable,no stunning scene,..with the pretty silly dialogue..and one more thing..please use high quality FXs..this is sci-fi,rite?

AlfredCDec 2, 20069Loved this show
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
ChrisLNov 12, 200610Loved the show..one that I would rush home to see. Am very bummed it is cancelled. All my kids would actually sit and watch quietly for the full hour. Please bring it back!
-
-
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 !!!!
-
-
delmOct 30, 200610great show, good plot, good characters, suspenseful. I can't believe they didn't bring it back earlier.

-
-
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???
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
ChristinaHSep 28, 200610This is one of the best shows I have watched. The suspense was awesome you knew somethings were going to happen but you didn't know if it would turn out like you thought and it didn't. I really hate when networks cut a show after only a few episodes or even a year you leave people haning.
-
-
SurfaceRulezSep 27, 200610Surface was about all that was worth watching last season...

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!
-
-
isvarpSep 16, 200610An imaginative and original show. BRING IT BACK!

PaulLSep 9, 200610NBC needs to fire those in charge of cancelling surface. Great show---bring it back please!
-
-
RobertTSep 4, 200610It's a great show and I have waited for the second season to start for some time now. Bring it back please!!!!
-

leighrSep 2, 200610please do a season 2
-
-
PeterLAug 31, 200610- Great show. Rather watch this show than ( Prison Break ). NBC should be proud to have a hit new series.
-
-
JeffSAug 31, 200610One of the best Sci-fi to hit TV in years
-
-
JulieEAug 30, 200610what a joke!!!!! surface and invasion cancelled. who decides this crap, obviously not the viewers. Fall tv will suck.
-
-
GregSAug 30, 200610Best Shoe on TV.
-
-
BilAAug 29, 200610AWSOME show. Hopefully NBC will pick it up.
-
-
SamanthaSAug 29, 200610I love this show. I was extremely upset to find out that the show had been cancelled. I watched every single episode of the first season. The characters were interesting and the graphics were very upscale for television.
-
-
StephanRAug 29, 200610It´s fantastic!!
-
-
MattUAug 28, 20068Pretty entertaining. A little heavy on the Spielberg cloning, and I'm not crazy about the "ET phone home" story with the kid and his alien pet that the evil government is after, but the overall plot is moderately engaging. The so-called "science" is laughable (e.g. calling an egg-laying amphibian a "mammal"), but hey, it's Hollywood, right?
-
-
RenaMAug 28, 200610Since the show apperently isn't comming back and som many people liked it so much they should come back w/ a move explaining what happened afterwards. It wouldn't be hard they left the story open enough to go back and explain a lot.
-
-
tombAug 27, 200610one of the better shows along with invasion. never should have been cancelled.
-
-
JennyAAug 25, 200610My husband and I really enjoyed the show and am currious as to what's next. Please don't leave us hanging without answers!
-
-
JasonZAug 25, 200610I loved surface and the season finale really left me wanting more. I hope they bring it back!
-
-
CathyGAug 25, 200610I thought this was one of the best shows that was on NBC. I think that the critics have no Imagination, this is suppose to be a what if show, it makes you think of all that could happen. Its just fun. I am hoping they will bring it back. I have watch the reruns and now I am buying the DVD...So please let us know what will happen next..Just like they show alot..
-
-
JessicaBAug 24, 200610Stumbled across this show by accident and VERY happy I did. The critics need an enema. Honestly all that gobbledy-gook they spew is asinine. Just shut up and enjoy a thoroughly entertaining show for a change! Loved it. Is it coming back?????
-
-
MandyMAug 22, 200610Please bring this show back! My husband and I will be extremely upset if not! We became addicted to the show the first time it aired.
-
-
BonnieAAug 21, 200610I'm not sure yet if this show is coming back, but I would be highly disappointed if it doesn't. The critics who watched this must not like a genuine sci-fi thriller. I watch a lot of shows and this one kept me interested.
-
-
CarolinOAug 21, 200610I rarely watch sci-fi shows. But this one I enjoyed and couldn't wait until the next one. I've been looking to see if it is this fall's lineup! Would very upset if it doesn't return. So......what ever happen to making the viewers happy?!
-
-
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.
-
-
MikeTAug 20, 200610This is one of the best TV shows ever! I love it!
-
-
DelilahHAug 20, 200610I like this show, its my favorite show. I think that there should be more about Miles though. I'd like the show to come back for a second season, if it doesn't I will be very, very bummed.
-
-
AmosLAug 17, 200610i can't beleive the critics what the hell show are they looing at this show was great

-
SigridMAug 15, 200610Great show
-
-
NancyWAug 15, 200610One of the best sci-fi programs I have ever seen! I could hardly wait for the next show. I really got attached to the story line and the people in the show. I can't believe they cut this show, every one of my friends are/were Surface junkies
-
-
KathrynBAug 14, 200610This was one of only two or three shows we watched regularly. We were looking forward to season two!
-
-
DonGAug 11, 200610I was looking to see when season 2 comes on again we loved it. if it was cancelled because of some moron critics that sucks!
-
-
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.
-
-
rebeccamJul 30, 200610Great family television. One of the few television shows this book reader would watch. I'm sure they will replace it with another cop or detective show. ugh!!
-
-
LeahKJul 28, 20069I liked it, the acting wasnt all that great but it was entertaining, and thats not that easy with all the crap thats on t.v. now-a-days. They should have at least kept it around one more season. Instead they let the stupid critics ruin it.
-
-
ChrisBJul 27, 200610NBC should be ashamed, This was the first show from NBC I actually watched and enjoyed tremendously. Please rethink your decision.
-
-
JennDJul 26, 200610My favorite show last season! It's a shame NBC shot themselves in the foot by not keeping it!!
-
-
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.
-
-
SykviaWJul 23, 20069I thought it to be very entertaining. Did not miss an episode. It was good scifi.
-
-
BrianLJul 17, 20068
-
-
PatrickSJul 17, 200610This Series was Awsome! It gave out alot of personal veiws about the whole point of the show! 2 thumbs WAY WAY up!
-
-
EdwinKJul 17, 20069I thought it was good TV entertainment.
-
-
TylerB.Jul 15, 200610the critics do take it to hard they probably dont even watch the show. It makes me mad because I wanted to know what happens in the 2nd season but the stupid critics ruined it.
-
-
DavidGJul 15, 200610What do the critics no about good old SciFi. Wake up NBC are you that stupid ? Give the people what they Like & not what the critics like. Surface season 2.
-
-
SamanthaJul 14, 200610The first two episodes were a little iffy, but it improved and ended up being my favorite show EVER.
-
-
lesliecJul 14, 200610kept the tension going throughout. humorous too.
-
-
PhyllisWJul 14, 200610Love the show. Very entertaining lets me escape from this life!
-
-
billlJul 13, 200610cutting edge graphic's intruiging one of the best sci fi show to date
-
-
mcolwellJul 12, 200610Great Show Sci-Fi should pick it up, NBC needs to wake up,taking shows like this off is why its always last in the ratings.
-
-
JeanSJul 11, 200610Has this show been cancelled? I hope not, its my favorite show.
-
-
JanetSJul 11, 200610This show had more surprises than "Lost," and is actually based on real science. This type of speculation about the impact of science and technology on nature is the best of the science fiction genre. Surface is a fast pace drama that offers food for thought.
-
-
PhillipSJul 11, 200610I think that the show is awesome. I hope that their will be another season.
-
-
RandyAJul 11, 200610I just viewed the SciFi channel's marathon of 7 episodes from season 1. I thought the show was outstanding and kept me on the edge of my seat. Maybe SciFi will pick it up and continue this intruiging story!
-
-
LisaMJul 11, 200610I think this show is awesome. I am not a big fan of scifi but the end of each episode found me wanting to see more. I have been looking forward to the 2nd season and just found out that is was cancelled. The critics can stuff it, Surface was the only show I have watched on NBC since Friends. Guess I'll stick to Fox
-
-
coreycJul 11, 200610i love surface, please bring it back for another season
-
-
BoGJul 11, 20069I loved this show.....figures they would cancel it. I thought it to be one of the best shows on TV. Well..it's not the first tike the jerks that run the networks canceled great shows.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
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.
