Hello, Surface Dwellers:
I just 'discovered' the series a couple of months ago in the Netflix Watch Instantly library and am enjoying it a great deal. It seems like this community has evolved far beyond bemoaning the loss of such a great piece of entertainment, but I'm looking for consolation and camaraderie concerning the incredible unfairness of the show's demise.

I also find the Brothers Pate fascinating. (I haven't seen all their work, but G vs E is among my all-time favorites. Also suffering an untimely cancellation. Twice!) I'm having a hard time finding information about the Pates and Rockfish. Is this normal?

Allow me to be the first to officially welcome you to Save Surface.

Believe me, all the Surface fans here can understand perfectly how you feel about losing such a great show. We have all been through it.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it at this point, as it's up to the brothers Pate, and their mom told me in her last email that they have accepted it and moved on. Jonas no longer responds to my emails asking about the possibilities of doing something else with the show.

I suspect the whole thing is under NBC's control anyway and it should be clear to everyone by now, they have their heads up someplace dark. Hell, they don't even really how deep the crap is that their network is stuck in, based on what I've been reading.

There is precious little info on the Pates around, but I do know a couple of things. Their parents own an eatery in N.C. (I think it is) where they were raised. They got noticed when they put a billboard up next to a building owned by Dennis Hopper, asking for his help with their screenplays. He was impressed and gave them a shot.

They have done a few (relatively) successful things, but I have noticed (and what might have hurt them with NBC) is that they like doing expensive location shooting and costly digital effects in the pursuit of their visions.

Jonas also told me that there is a second season of Surface already written. Apparently it is left to sit there, collecting dust.

Sorry if that bums you out more. It sure does us. I wish he would have at least told US how it turns out. LOLOLOL

Please enjoy our site and the company of our little family, anyway.

Welcome aboard, Eagleuno. I joined well after the campaign to save Surface began so I can't relate well to the intense feelings for the show, but you'll probably find a lot of interesting topics around here, on various issues, as I did. Good hunting...

Welcome aboard to the surface chat. NBC sucks. All network TV basically sucks sow, unless you are into who wants to marry a millionaire or the biggest loser.

There is plenty to read here and we always love new posts. Esp about thing that we knew nothing about.

Welcome to the community eagleuno.

Wouldn't it be easier to get Nim to lick you?
I'm don't know how that changes someone into a fishperson, but it would speed up the process......
