There is so much left unsaid when season 1 ended. I just cannot beleive what im hearing that ABC wants to cancel this show! Its amazing! It really got people thinking about life and such. For me throught this whole season its been a puzzle, trying ot figure out what might happen next and from watching the first episode i was hooked. One thing that i think ABC just cant leave unsaid is when charlie was older and she was saying "they found him". Im thinking mark went missing during that bomb explosion and everyone thought he was dead but he really was not. I hope ABC signs on another few seasons for FF. If theres anything we can do as veiwers to make this happen we should! i dont know how but maybe some of you know? :)

If people want the show to continue, buy the DVD/Blu-ray. Lots of shows have been resurrected this way. The only way the studio will listen is if you beat them off with your wallet.

I recorded the entire series and watched it all in a couple of days.

If this show was on Fox then they might have still given it a chance, just like they did with "24", or maybe it'll resurrect itself on a specialty channel like Sci-Fi Channel. The salary of the cast must have been huge, given big names like Joseph Fiennes and John Cho ... the acting was incredible though. So if it did reappear on Sci-Fi, they'd have to change some of the actors.

Too bad really, this is one of the best series I have seen on TV in a long long time (other than BSG). Unfortunately, the types of shows that bring in the money nowadays are ones that show lots of "T's" and "A's", not ones that actually require thinking.

take my vote don't trust Networks any more they killed Heroes they killed Knight Rider and they killed Terminator wo why waste time beleiving these idiots when all they do is love what they doing is canceling. All they like to di is sit around there offices waiting for season or an episode to pass and then they say "Aww lets cancel it" back in the 80's we never had this problom i think it is better if us fans started a law sue and how there tricking us there is a cliff hanger like they did with Heroes and Terminator and FF i think it is time the law has to be let down and get them to stop with this "April fool" jokes becasue i am sick of these tricking seasons. Some one has to write to the Televion Indistries and tell them what is going on and our Networks are Cruppted like "Splinter Cell Convintion"

Incidently, I loved the new Knight Rider. Yeah, it was cheesy, but so was the original. That's what made it work. Although, The Hoff was cheesy, too...perfect cast for that role back in the 80s. I don't think people connected with the new cast all that well (although I would watch forever if all they did was show Zoe rollerskate for an hour each week). And as much as I loved the show, KITT was a little ridiculous with all his different morfs. All that was missing was KITT Space Shuttle.

FlashForward will return.

Cap I understand your view and now networks Are being corroupted and being abused

[–] justinmacri2032 14 years ago

All i am trying to say is in my view how Networks are treating our new shows and even if it has been on a season or a few months it is just not right and they cancel shows al the time....

in the uk they aired FF on a monday. since the finale my monday evenings feel rather empty & unexciting. i just feel cheated that it was stopped.

Back in the 80's we didn't have 100000000000000000 channels to choose from if we didn't like what our TV happened to be tuned into.

That's not to say the stuff shown in the 80's were "better", but just that it was a 1 in 5 (UK based here) chance that the crud that was on was better then what was on the other channels.

Having said that... why not kill Knightrider, I bet half the population didn't get past episode 1 when they realised The Hoff wasn't in it from then onwards, and it was hardly an original idea. In the 80's it was though! If you really want Knightrider back, lobby the studio to get Hoff back on board - it will gain viewing figures overnight!

"It really got people thinking about life and such."

Exactly, and therein lies the problem:
TV shows are made for the masses, and the masses don't like to think much: they are sheep.
They just want plain TV shows, about 4 women who only buy shoes and talk about dicks all the time, plastic surgeons who *beep* every woman who crosses paths with their scalpel, bored housewives who *beep* their pool boys and gardeners while their husbands work their asses off to pay for their wives' luxury lifestyle or fat gangsters who hang out with other fat gangsters and curse and swear every two words they say

So when there's this brilliant TV show that actually makes people think about life and such, it is being cancelled, because it doesn't have enough language and nudity, which seem to be the a neccessity these days to make a show "interesting"

I'm from Holland myself and every new US TV show aired here is being presented as "The #1 hit TV show in America!", while most of them are really crap

"Maybe a show like Flash Forward made YOU think because of your intellect is so low that something as simple-minded as that wowed you. But being a fan of sci fi shows and movies like Star Trek, the X Files, and The Matrix franchise I can tell you that there wasn't a damned thing "smart" or "intellectual" about the show."

LOL :)

Your typical fat-nerd-safely-ranting-from-behind-his-computer arrogance amuses me.
Guess what? Maybe you are not the only X-Files/Matrix or whatever sci-fi franchise fanboy (not Star Trek, because i do have sex on a regular basis) on this board, and i probably have been for many years longer than you

And i never said Lost was good

But i'm glad that your ranting makes you feel better than me, after a loooooong day of being picked on in real life by everyone else around you (including your goldfish).
Think back about this ONE "glorious" moment in your life when you are watching Star Trek next time on a friday night and jerk off to that green bitch while i'm using my high intellect to actually enjoy my life :D

Boy, do i love to make fanboys cry.
What's the problem with people who get mad and insulting because someone else says he likes a show? Get a life

I want another season so badly! How can people not like this? It is so good.

Your opinion has been noted; why do you hover over the board of a show you dislike, to bother the people that had the sense to chose this show over reality TV? I suppose for the same reason the school bully liked to torment smaller kids. A bit sick and sad really.

[–] obs-2 14 years ago

Enjoyable series, but like a lot of "serious" shows these days, there are too many little sub-storylines that do nothing but slow the pace. Mind you, it's not as slow as Caprica.

What happend to that show I lost touch after season 1 was it canceled?
