    Stumbled 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?????

    I 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..

    I 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.

    I'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!

    I 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.

    i think that SURFACE was the best show on tv when it was on. i really hope it ill be on for a second season, it would be terrible if it just stopped and we couldn't watch any more of the awesome tv show. SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN GET THIS TV SHOW UP FOR A SECOND SEASON

    Does anyone know if "Surface" is coming back for a second season?

    Surface was the only show that ws different from, doctors, investigators, lawyers & reality shows. Nimrod is endearing and watching his responses to being with Miles...the two love eachother. I and all my friends, including those on the internet love Nimrod and wnt him back.

    This is a GREAT show and I don't care what critics say. 1st of all they have been know to be wrong MANY TIMES and we're going to base decisions solely on 39 individuals. I think you should let the views decide, obviously you can clearly see that there is a loyal following and it's growing. Give it the time and respect any show deserves compared to all that reality garbage This is a GREAT show and I don't care what critics say. 1st of all they have been know to be wrong MANY TIMES and we're going to base decisions solely on 39 individuals.

    very real actors in an unreal situation...they make it believable and there's something that makes you want to be a part of their experience

    I agree with others - this is a breath of fresh air from the reality shows medical and lawyer shows. I love Lost and I put this up there with Lost because they are the only 2 shows that I look forward to watching. NBC PLEASE BRING BACK A 2nd SEASON!!!

    We watched as a family. My kids and I loved the show. We could not wait for the next week. I was interesting and different. Everything on the tv today is about murder, law, sex, and being gay. I am not against this totally. However, it was nice to actually have a plot that was new....I did not have to keep telling my kids to close their eyes...

    It's a bland Spielberg wannabe that doesn't succeed in evoking much creepiness or wonder

    Though relentlessly ominous, "Surface" is, so far, only good for surface scares.
