NBC should have used the SciFi channel for Surface and Threshold. Maybe they would have stood a chance of at least finishing their stories if not continuing on like the StarGate franchises.

It's so weird that you wrote about this! My daughter and I were just talking to my husband about this show! There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth over it's premature demise in my house, I can tell you. And how completely cruel to just leave the main characters stuck in the church with no closure in sight. Totally sucked. I now refuse to watch any show on NBC or Fox until it has been on for at least a year. I'll gladly buy the dvd sets to catch up, but no way am I going to get invested in a show just to have those donkeys at the networks yank it before it's time.

Surface was really good, particularly because of it's high production values, but that = high costs, unfortunately there is no way a network will renew an expensive show if it isn't top rated...

Joe, I agree with you on Journeyman & Travler. I didn't watch Surface, but I did start watching Invasion & Threshold, both of which got cancelled too. That's why I, and any other people I'm sure, will not start watching new network shows any longer. It's not fun to start liking something & then it gets pulled. I'll spend my time on Usa & FX's shows, at least they don't usually cancel them before they even get a chance to tell the story. The networks can rot for all I care. The only risky show they've given a chance lately is Lost & that's because it started out huge in the ratings. Had it not, it'd be gone too.

I think the main, if not only, reason they cast Lake Bell is because she looked good in a bikini, which she seemed to spend a good bit of time wearing. :o)

I agree, this show was good but not great.

My biggest problem was probably the casting of Lake Bell. She was just too wooden and unbelievable in the role she was given here.

I hate this it seems like every show I watch gets canned . I liked Surface I also enjoyed Invasion. Yet both are no more. I also liked Journey Man and Traveler. I hate this so much I really wish Network shows would just let shows last more then one season. Because next season there will be new shows people will start to like those shows too. Then they get canceled. So then it starts all over again.

So I just would like to see network shows let there shows come out for another season. Plus I would like to see the network also market there shows more and not ones people are already watching too.

Sad, sad, sad. Threshold never grabbed me, but Surface (aside from being filmed in Wilmington, just a couple hours from where I live) was at least able to generate a genuine sense of suspense every week, and make you care about the characters. Now those characters are forever frozen in time, unable to give us the closure we need.

The only thing sadder is the cancellation of Journeyman.

I'm STILL bummed about that show. Surface, Invasion and Threshold were my favorite shows that year, and every one is gone. Grrrrr. I need to know what happened! About all I can do is read fan fiction, or write my own story line. I look at the shows still on and shake my head.

There ought to be a law, "If you know a series is going to get canceled it cannot end in a cliff hanger."

I live in Puerto Rico, what has me worried it that since the giant flood occurred is my mountain home now beach front property? Do I have to worry the Nims and the Chupacabra? What if they form some type of alliance? ;)
