Come up to the Surface

As I watched the news reports on Hurricane Rita it was announced that all shows would play out in their entirety and you should have seen my expression.
Smile from ear to ear with signs of relief and unbelievable joy and happiness.
So as the hour came about I realized that the chick from Boston Legal who got the boot is the lead in Surface.
Lake Bell is her name and it fits perfectly since this show is about strange creatures from the sea.
She plays a scientist exploring the ocean floor for clues of man's origins.
she sets off in a mini-sub visiting all form of creatures 5500 feet down.
When she gets to these mountain sized volcano looking structures she sees a strange light.
this is the part that seems a bit corny as her mini-sub gets tossed around and she freaks after seeing some form of new life.
Sea Monsters from the deep deep ocean floor, 8500 feet deep as it turns out.
The other characters are this guy from Louisiana's gulf coast which seems inappropriate right after Katrina and this kid from North Carolina.
The kid finds an egg from the creatures and brings it home.
Real smart move ... NOT!
Since the thing ate all his fish and then busted the fish tank and ran into his sister's bathroom.
All very amusing.
The fisherman from Louisiana isn't so lucky as his buddy gets caught on this whale sized on by accident (his harpoon goes off and he has it wrapped around his hand.)
Well the town is calling it a accidental drowning by our man knows better.
All along this scientist guy is trying to cover up the whole thing and even gives our girl the boot by shutting down her whole operation.
All in all Surface has a long way to go.
It's very cheesy and corn ball at times, and if they play it that way they might survive.
If they try to be too serious the are going to sink faster than mini-sub did with Lake on board.
So I'll keep watching to see what happens, but I fear I'll be the only one if they don't change soon.
Because to survive these days, you need some sort of gimmick.
And we already have enough serious "Aliens Invading" shows that it would be refreshing to see some light comic fare thrown in.
SO if the powers that be do happen to read this, please heed my words and bring us to the Surface with a light hearted laugh instead of a nose diving "duh"!
