Why did they cancel it???????

Anyway, I as I said I loved it. It was a great series, it was food for the brain and the emotions -- like the reminders every now and then that all we every really have is this moment right now and we should make the most of all those present moments -- wish it have never left let alone leaving all too soon.


To point out to LCutie, you said you loved it, so I guess that does mean you thought it was good. lol

Just wanted to say though that I liked your interpretation of everything, and your concept of how people think and why they relate or not, to the show. I agree. I remember the show Awake, which lasted one very short season last year. It was an excellent show, but you had to think to follow it, and it seems the thinkers lost. Then there was also the show, His Own Worst Enemy (MOWE) with Christian Slater. That too you had to do a lot of thinking. I loved it; it was cancelled after about 6 or so episodes. They recently had Do No Harm which looked similar to MOWE, and they had cancelled it after 2 episodes, but now I'm seeing other eps turning up so I'm not sure if they decided to just burn off the other eps. Some ppl prefer shows where they don't have to figure things out. A sad thing when there are others who are the opposite. We should still get to see the shows we want too as well.


RIP Lee Thompson Young. Too young and gone too soon!

Actually in fringe they had where they sent someone's consciousness from the future to change the past. So the concept is not that new. It is part of the time travel genre and discussed since you can send particles through time and maybe that can include information even if we cant send matter through time. Or more like in time travel cars. I think you might like Fringe.

Did you think it was good? Lol



I laughed at your comment, but come on now, she did a good job of talking about the show and a great explanation of why some people possibly may not have liked it. But you did make me laugh. lol

It was definitely cancelled, which happened after the season 1 finale was shot. The season 1 finale was a cliffhanger of a second flashforward designed to lead into the next season (i.e., nothing like the ending of Dexter).

But typical of modern TV, they'd rather get rid of a show that made you think to follow it, and keep stupid "reality" that insults our intelligence.

Seriously, no

It was literally cancelled for lack of ratings

Really don't know where you got the fact that it just "ended"

The network axed cause it wasn't pulling in enough viewers

Shut down. Pulled the plug. Terminated

Get it?

It really wasn't a mini series--I watched it when it was on in prime time. It was billed as a regular network show and was heavily promoted when it began. There was no mention of a limited run. It seemed to be trying to capitalize on the popularity of Lost--there were several shows involving mysteries that started back then, aimed at intelligent people who can tolerate and even enjoy some ongoing ambiguity and not knowing all the answers. I thought Flashforward was one of better entries in this field and was very disappointed when it was cancelled. I can't believe that Fringe lasted several seasons--I watched the 1st couple of episodes and thought it was interesting and the characters were engaging. Then there was an episode involving a crazy professor who was supposed to be using equipment that affected people's brains--but it grossly violated known neuroscience and looked extremely cheesy (if you know anything about brains). Whoever wrote the show could have gotten a scientific consultant, but instead, they just made up stupid stuff. I couldn't watch it any more after that. This made me appreciate show that manage to present futuristic science in believable ways.

I have not seen this yet but the problems we have these days are due to

1.The internet, people have the freedom to watch what they want when they want. So instead of stations having the true ratings they only get the small amount that are actually watching it on TV or their catch up website (I believe that only 2 days count on catch up towards ratings) at the time it actually matters

2. Is the biggest issue! There are so many TV shows and only so many people ( many don't watch TV at these days due to the propaganda filled in it except the sheeple. Many people are waking up)
So if the show does not get the millions and millions in the first year they axe it instead of realising
That it can sometimes take time for a good thing to be built up, instead they expect instant hits. They need to learn to allow things to grow, too high expectations basically!

I am guilty of No.1, I *beep* hate adverts and 3. Which I will add here, we are as impatient as the TV stations are wanting instant ratings, while we are as impatient as wanting to see the next show so this ties in with No.1, we can watch an entire series on the net again screwing with the ratings.

4.America and the UK should find a way that the ratings from each country benefit each other. The problem here is advertising is their major income and why ratings count. During popular shows like breaking bad for example TV stations would have been paid through the roof for an advertising slot because they know they are getting their products shown to the most people during those slots, but why would an American or British advert benefit in other countries? They don't and its a damn good shame because sometimes there are shows here in the UK that have great ratings, I believe The Sarah Connor Chronicles is an example where I heard that it had poor ratings in the USA while here in the UK it was loved with good viewing numbers and that was on sky (our main sat TV system) so it would probably done even better if it was shown on terrestrial tv .

5. Far too many TV stations!!!! Here analogue is dead and we now only have digital terrestrial TV which alone has probably about 100 channels, then there is sky which I mentioned earlier and TiVo from virgin and more which has hundred's upon hundreds of channels, mostly full of repeats mind you but of good shows so people stick to the channels they know not giving the numerous (in most cases not needed) new channels a chance because they are using the same damn repeats but there are the few that actually have something new and could be good but is lost in the list of those numerous channels we skip by every day.

6. Some do get noticed with good marketing, they look great they get the chance to grow but sometimes they genuinely just are rubbish and they are canned.

7. The one that really fuxing annoys me and is another reason I use the net to watch only what I want...... REALITY fecking TV !!!!!! I'm sick of hearing about talentless morons filling our TV slots.
People go out and work hard and train to act while we get a bunch of god damn muppets that our moron filled nations are attracted to flies like $hite. Enough of this cheap crap, gone are the days of talent like John Cleese with Fawlty towers (American? Never seen this? Go now and I mean now and you will laugh so much you will fall off your seat)

8. Originality (Dead)

@ cmother1, In your opinion nothing more. The ratings etc.. prove you to be wrong. Also looking at the terrible feedback your reviews and threads get, you really are the last person anyone is gong to listen too.

I suggest you go back to writing reviews and thread nobody likes or agrees with:)

Networks dont realize this sort of attitude to cancel a show is why alot of people cant be bothered with some of these sci fi genre shows like resurrection walking dead etc They dont seem to go anywhere or are cancelled with no notice.
To not have a conclusion for FF just shows contempt for the viewer.
