Does anyone watch the new series Surface? I finally caught an episode
tonight after hearing so much about it from friends and others. Just
an observation about the baby creature. When the boy was "petting"
it, it sounded like it purred. :)

I've been recording it, then watching the next day (hey it's opposite
Monday Night Football). I'm not sure I'm going to stay with it, though
it is kind of interesting.

Yeah, it's a burring/purring noise, kinda cute, but that part of the
show is what's bothering me about the series.

I'm pretty sure it's on our NBC affiliate, but (and it's a big but...
Just like MINE!) it can be seen on the SCI FI Network as well. They
usually show on Sunday there. So, two places to see it, if'n you wanna
;)

NBC/Universal also owns the SciFi channel plus several other cable
networks. They've started re-airing series that suit other netwoks they
own.

CBS, whichever channel that is where you live.

Correction: NBC (I know which channel it's on, I just get
the two networks confused - Sorry.)

I've never heard of this show, but might I ask why the purring noise is
'bothering' you? Just curious.

Azy!

"Unfortunately, I once roomed with a cocker spaniel, and she left a
terrible impression of dogs with whomever she met. Her breath was
terrible, she reeked of sebaceous oils, she chewed her haunches
fanatically, and she was a pathological liar. I learnt quite a few
lessons living with her. Firstly, never lay behind a dog who's just
dined heavily from the rubbish bin. Secondly, never leave kibble for
later if there's a dog about. And, most importantly, never, never trust
a cocker spaniel in a balaclava no matter what they tell you." ~~W.C.

Poorly worded there. I meant the part of the show in *that* area
(Southern California, young teen or pre-teen with all the ensuing
angst, "forced funny" scenes where the "thing" goes running through the
house, sister and mom from hell) that I didn't care for. They have
other characters that are more believable in situations I can "buy
into", just not this kid and his friend.

The little creature is the highlight actually.

I'm starting to think they designed this show with something to annoy
everyone. Those kids mother is absolutely unreal. Kids do $14,000 in
unexplained damage to the house. Then everyone sits down at the table for a
softly lit dinner at the dining room table. And the parents proceed to
leave the kids home alone for several days.

They have no clue anything strange or otherwise might be going on? Are the
parents aliens from outer space?

Unfortunately, they strike me as fairly typical Southern
California parents!

Last night was the first time I saw the show so I'm still figuring
out the characters. I noticed the sister is really icky, but not
unlike most teen girls toward her little brother. LOL

The student-mother-new waitress is likable, easy to feel bad for
her trying to convince people of what she saw/heard. I don't know
what led up to why everyone is ignoring her about it, so I have to
catch up on that part.

Seemed like an ok show if you like Sci Fi.

Why? So far the only "bad guys" seem to be the government
guys doing a cover-up. The "sea monster" really hasn't DONE
anything, yet - I'm not so sure the people who have
disappeared won't turn up again.

I caught part of one episode but it didn't hold my interest.

Not an SF fan? So far I like it - didn't expect to, but it
seems to be a lot more than just another "monsters threaten
mankind" sort of flic. (And I think the baby "sea monster"
ias adorable.)

I didn't notice that.

I'm confused between Surface, Invasion, and whatever the third one is.
Can't keep them all straight!

I hear ya! I only like a few shows, and LOST is one of them, 24 is
another. Surface sounded ok so had to figure out what the hub bub was
(at least among those I know who like it).

"Surface" has sea monsters (purportedly) - the others I've
not yet encountered - their trailers turned me off before I
even tried to watch them.

I thought so, too! I can't believe they're planning it as a
"monster movie" - the baby critter is too cute!
