Feel like saving FlashForward?

If you would like to save FlashForward or at least give it a try, head over to Save FlashForward Center, where you'll find everything you can do, if not to save the show, at least to make some noise so ABC gets to know that people did watch the show and did care about it.

Save FlashForward Center is not just about a petition online or a web campaign that doesn't do any effect on the real world; on the contrary, it's got everything pretty well laid out and constantly updated to let you know what to do starting by phone calls and letters and from there to well organized campaigns on Facebook and Twitter.

If you liked the show, you should check out that site. As I said above, even if the show doesn't come back, fans shouldn't let it go without making their voices heard.


Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with Save FlashForward Center, but I support their cause. Why? Read here my previous post on the subject.

Was Flash Forward one year too early for television?

Now that it's a fact that FlashForward has been cancelled, a question arises: was this show one year too early for television? What would have been its fate if it had started after Lost's end?

FlashForward was supposed to fill Lost's void after its departure. Even the network "sold" their production as "the new Lost". I guess ABC thought that starting one show during the other show's final season would make the transition easier, but it turned out completely wrong, killing the new one, which could have made it for at least a second season.

FlashForward wasn't bad at all. Yeah, it had ups and downs, took some time to finally get on its feet, but most shows go through that; even today's successful shows were pretty weak on their early days. But unfortunately, FlashForward didn't make it. A second season could have attracted a good portion of Lost's viewers, but ratings were so low that the show seemed a lost cause (no pun intended).

Definitely, FlashForward should have started one year later. Anyways, at least ABC supported the show until the end, while other networks would have cancelled the whole thing in the middle of the road throwing the remains to the dumpster.
