The ABC TV show about what happens in the future apparently doesn’t have one. FlashForward has been cancelled after one season.
FlashForward begins as the world’s population blacks out for 137 seconds and they “flash forward” to see visions of their lives six months in the future. The series’ ensemble cast includes Joseph Fiennes, John Cho, Jack Davenport, Zachary Knighton, Peyton List, Dominic Monaghan, Brian F. O’Byrne, Courtney B. Vance, Sonya Walger, and Christine Woods.
The series debuted in September and attracted a 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 12.47 million viewers. With a lot of buzz, it seemed like ABC had a hit. For week two, the ratings dropped to a still very respectable 3.7 and 10.73 million.
But then viewership just kept falling, hitting a low of a 2.1 in the key demo and just 7.1 million viewers. Then, ABC pulled the series for three months. The spin was that they would relaunch FlashForward after the Olympics.
The network gave the return a significant amount of promotion but it didn’t help. FlashForward’s ratings were even worse and they just kept dropping. They’ve gotten so bad that The CW has been beating them in the demo.
To no surprise, ABC has cancelled FlashForward after one season of 20 episodes. The series finale will air in two weeks, on May 27th.
What do you think? Did FlashForward deserve a second season? Could ABC have saved it? If given the chance, how would you wrap it up?

ABC sucks! I’m from mexico and I wait each week to see the next chapther, I don’t know what think the people who take care of the desition, but Flash Forward could convert in one of the best series. Flash Forward needs more that tow season, they need to give us all the answers.
This really really sucks!!! I really liked this show it was very intriguing. I even set my DVR to record it every week so I wouldn’t miss an episode.
ABC BRING FLASHFORWARD BACK!!!!!
I cant believe Flashforward is not being saved. What do we have to do to get this show saved??????? I really think this show is worth saving. It was nominated for about seven awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many was V nominated for? I REALLY hope the people in charge take all the viewers opinions into consideration abd give the show a second chance. DID ANYONE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT FLASHFORWARD CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON AFTER BEING GONE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS PEOPLE RPOBABLY GOT UPSET AND STOPPED WATCHING ABC BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY CANCELED!!!! IT ALSO WENT… Read more »
The problem wasn’t that it wasn’t a good show, the problem was that you guys at abc put it against Survivor. No one will openly admit it but almost every one watches Survivor. That said, please renew Flash Forward ABC! It was a very underated show with a great plot, great actors and always kept me glued to the set and wanting to see more at the end of each episode. You guys could move it to Mondays cause there’s nothing on on that day. But take into consideration “Family Guy” It was cancelled and the network took a risk,… Read more »
Why am I not suprised? Another canceled show.. They could´ve put that in a flash forward of one of the lead characters! ABC fails!
of course it deserves a second chance….it s a great serie with a great story, and good teachings,,,,
i m from romania we don t even have it yet broadcasted on tv….so i ve watched all in few days on internet, cause it was so good, couldn t stop watching it
and i know about many of my friends around the world that did the same thing….
so come on….
I can’t believe they canceled Flash forward. But they kept on a crappy show like Lost. WTF
ff deserve a second chance!!!! from argentina!
I must live in a vacuum. Just found out that FF was canceled. Loved the show; loved the acting; loved the puzzle. ABC sucks. End of story.
I cant believe they have cancelled this show! I am from England and everyone over here just loves it. Please bring it back and give it a chance!
I am so sick of ABC cancelling shows that I start watching and liking. I am going to stop watching ABC because if I do and start watching another show they will just go and cancel it too probably. I think ABC should have give Flashforward another chance.
The show might have started out a little slow in the beginning but it was one of the best season finales I have ever seen!! I think they left plenty of room to start a second season and I think their needs to be one!!! Slow start but man did it ever finish strong!
LET IT RENEW!
I live in The Netherlands were it premieres in Juli, but i couldn’t wait and watched it on the internet (many did, thats why ratings are low, they watch it on the internet!, days after the airing i gues) but it is an awesome show and it doesn’t even get a ENDING!
Come On ABC give it another Chance! (it can become BIG!)

P.S if ABC is canceling it (another network can TAKEOVER this amazing SHOW!)
