Whatever happened to ???

MaxJoker · April 1st, 2009, 03:22 PM

This threads for asking those questions that are currently bothering you , ones that need to be asked because if you don`t get the answer you might have to do something serious to distract your nagging brain and itchy tongues tip , like some actual bloody WORK

Questions can be about almost anything (Forum rules permitting) from long forgotten child stars ,to how close would i be from Jupiter if i was on the moon ?. You can ask about that beloved chocolate bar which suddenly vanished from the shelves , or that favourite show you just remembered you liked and which never reappeared . See no matter how tedious it might seem to others if the answer to your question is bugging this be the place to ask for that calming answer , as in "HEY" this is "YOUR" piece of mind we`re talking about ok !.

Now for me (Well you expected as much right

) it`s concerning a Sci Fi show which was on a couple years back if memory serves , it was an American show about government created electrical discharging sea creatures which had escaped and were breeding . Doesn`t sound that dangerous i know but somehow that meant the earth was going to flood , in fact the last episode had this major flood which wrecked the town. Had a chunky guy who was trying to find his brother ?, some long haired hot female professor and a kid who had one of the creatures as a pet , only it had bit him and now he shorted out fuses or something.

Alright it might have been an odd series but i liked it and used to eat mighty meaty pizza and get drunk while watching , hmmm so maybe i have rose coloured specs on ?.

Either way i can`t remember the name of the show , or what happened to it

So any help along those lines would be greatly appreciated

Hi GS, I think it was called 'Surface' and it ended quit abruptly,
hope this helps

**DTravel** · April 1st, 2009, 05:46 PM

Surface was not renewed after its one season because it was crap. I know because I watched it. (Don't ask why, until I saw GreenSkull's post I had mercifully forgotten it.)

Next question: What ever happened to actress Heather Paige Kent?

**Wendigo** · April 1st, 2009, 07:12 PM

Hey I've got the Surface DVD box-set. I remember reading some of the publicity beforehand and was very excited as I have a great collection of sea-monster movies on DVD. It started off fine but was one of the greatest disappointments of the last few years as it deviated away from the main plot and threw so many curved balls and alternative plot-lines that it was hard to see where it was actually going. I guess that didn't help the show's survival.

Talking of TV science-fiction what about the Bermuda Triangle based show The Fantastic Journey with the late Roddy McDowell and the stunning Katie Saylor? I haven't seen any repeats of this for decades and Katie Saylor who was taken ill whilst they were filming has disappeared off the scene.

I used to get a British comic in the 60's and I cant remember the name, but one of the storys/characters was Billys Boots about a kid who was crap at Football untill he wore an old pair of Football boots that belonged to 'Dead shot Keane'

Can anyone remember this, if so what was the comic called?

Scorcher - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy's_Boots
I was more into World of Wonder, Whizzer & Chips and my American Marvel comics though - not forgetting Look-In.

Wendigo you star, that has been bugging me for ages, thank you

"Surface"

Many thanks for the titles name and all the extra info reiver58 , nice one

. Also a hearty cheers go to all the other contributors on this thread

.Especially DT for his well thought out opinion which has made me inclined to remember the show even more fondly than before

. Plus in answer to your question Heather Paige Kent disappeared because she took time off to have a couple of babies .Which was convenient really as she`d found herself at a bit of a loose end after her "That`s life" show was finally put out of everyones misery ,oh and casting agents no longer gave her those call backs

I wish they'd bring back spangles...
