With production now stopped, there is no way I will take the time to watch the last three episodes I have on DVR.

Way to go ABC you single handedly destroyed scifi on network tv. All you have to do is cancel that crapfest remake of V and your done! Then again who still watches network tv?

hey syfy, buy the rights, this is a great show with lots of legs..

Crash and Burn?

Was this ever supposed to be more than a one-season show?

I'll be happy if they finish out this season, giving us the reason for the outage, and revealing the big bad ( I haven't read the book, yet).

I was never a fan of this show becasuse I never felt this show would do what lost did. I have never watched it and I know it just does not work anybody remeber the show called "the nine" well watch that and you will see that both shows have some of the same views. I think a sliders remake would be great and would do well ifthey stuck with the first season premise.

I'm surprised...I really like this show, and I think it's pretty darn good. I'll be bummed if this goes the way of Crusade, Jericho, TSCC, & Firefly among others.

Lots Of Legs? Are you kidding? What happens after the season finale? Oh no, here comes another blackout? Yawn.

If the people in charge would just realize that they need to STOP BORING US with 6 episodes of developmental SHXT before making something happen, then maybe theyd be able to create something that can hold our attention. Dont get me wrong, I like cerebral shows and i like this show (a lot) but it pisses me off when network heads KNOW how fickle the audience can be and still dont run their shows accordingly. STEP IT UP ABC

Gotta say if people jumped before 'Believe' they missed out on some good story. Better than the last two episodes for sure. It may only have one good season in the concept, but Most of the charecters are great. I do think - in this case - Dominic Monaghan's charecter dosen't seem to work tone-wise with the rest of the show. The card playing gimic, while well done, was a gimic, where I loved the remarkably thin connections concocted to lead to clues in the earlier episodes. CSI streched to the max. Part of the drop off may be a part of the reveal, while dramaticly well done, that the future may not be set. This has killed some of the edge of tension in the premise. If the future is changeable, it's no future at all. It kills all time-travel stories, somthing LOST has worked tooth-and-nail to keep dramaticly. But this show still has me with great charecters. Keep the pieces moving on the board, guys!

I'm at peace with whatever fate lies in store for this show at this point.

It's been really uneven up until now, with a good majority of it focusing to much on the mundane and boring subplots (lives) of it's rather mundane and boring characters. The acting has also been really uneven, with some performances being fine, while others are just laughable.

Comparing it to The Nine is pretty apt.

If it pulls an invasion and becomes truly interesting in the second half of the season I'll change my opinion and be sad to see it canned in May, but if it keeps going like it has so far, then I can't help but be glad to see it replaced with something new and hopefully more interesting, scifi or not.

It does say "a rep for the network said that the six-day hiatus had always been built into the show's schedule. " And this is a holiday week.

All signs point to this being a non-story.

Why does ABC keep investing in complex dramas? I know they are looking for the next LOST, but time after time the network has shown itself unwilling to give a show a chance to shine. Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, and now V and FlashForward. It's like ABC doesn't understand how to do scripted television any more.

DONT BE SHEEP THIS NETWORK HAS IT IN FOR ABC WAKE UP

Hope it gets cancelled. Survival of the fittest must be obeyed!

Stil, it so rarely is...

What an awfull headline!!! This site needs to change this lousy way of enhancing bad news even when it doesn't exist.

V is not a crapfest. Loving it.

Never watched Flashforward because I hate TV series that deal out tiny bits of the plot every week and then act like they've done something.

And just like Surface a few years ago, Flash Forward is in danger of being cancelled before anyone knows what's going on. And they had plenty of time to reveal. Surface made it through a whole season with a cliffhanger that didn't include any answers!! I bet if Flashforward was the same. I'm surfaced out.

I think their main mistake is in making the big story arc question be "why'd this flash-forward happen?" Particularly since that information is revealed VERY early on in the original novel; it just gives the facts, and then moves on with the story from there. (Hopefully the fact that there's more to it than why/how it happens doesn't constitute a spoiler?)

Then again, I get the feeling they've veered from the novel enough that I could be wrong... either way, I'll wait for the "Complete Series" DVD set next year.

This is a non-story as far as I'm concerned. ABC has done this before. They shut down production on V a while back. They even shut down production on Desperate Housewives (or maybe it was Grey's Anatomy) during its 1st season and you see how long it's have been on.

the show is just horrible. I gave up watching the episode before last. the story line is terrible. the acting is way over the top. And there is no logic to the story or characters. I'm surprised it ever mad it to the air

I really like this show (my favorite sf/f show of those currently playing, though I'm waiting for more Torchwood...), and I hope they can pull it out. I agree with @krud that it's really different from the novel in format, but I like the change.

Both are really about the affect this would have on people's lives.

I never liked it. We watched the first couple of episodes and I thought that they were paced badly, the dialog was trite and boring, and the characters unlikable. But, that can be said about a lot of TV. So what sealed the delete from my DVR menu? The editing. I HATE the editing. How many times can they expect us to watch the same red-tinged flash-forward over and over again? Seriously. We get it. Someone's going to break into the office.

I tire of reading supossed Sci-Fi fans bashing everything that comes out on the networks. The simple fact is that networks exist to make money and the way that is done is by selling commercials on show that get ratings. If those shows happen to be Who is Dancing with a Millinare Who Wnatns to be an American Star" than that is what the networks will shoe. Even SyFy (don't like the name change) has ECW Ghost Hunters Scrave Tactics Acadamy and other shuch shows that are cheap to produce versus the revuenue they bring in. If we want quality Sci-Fi shows we need o let the sponsors know, and watch the shows they sponsor. Granted, we can't by a Subaru a week for sponsoring Eureka,.. or we can't buy Degree deodoriant bucause we are alecrgic to he agreedents. We don't buy a Ford Taurus because they sponsor White Collar or a miriad of other products, but would it hurt to write the sponsor and thank them for sponsoring a show we enjoy and let them know we will consider theior product the next time we ar shopping for one of the items they reprent. Until the ONLY thing on TV is Sci Fi programming, we can at least support the sponsors and networks (cable or otherwise) that are willing to risk the millions of dollars it takes to bring them to us. Whnn all TV is Sci_Fi, then we can complain about the quality of programs and there value regarding where they are compentatively placed. How many Subway sandwichs were purchased to help bring back CHUCK to NBC. And how many were purchased to THANK a sponsor, with notes of thanks sent to the sponsor. Rather that complaining, SciFi viewers should be thankful of what we have. Ther are onnly 21 prime time hours of broadcasting during a week, and even SyFy doesn't show that many hours of original broadcasting. So DVR what you don't watch, thank the networks and the sponsors for their support. Buy their products if apporpriate and let the company;s know the reason and keep Science Fiction more than a dream of what could be, and change it into WHAT WILL BE.

If you can't say somrthing nice, DVR it and stop complaining all the time.

So Dollhouse got renewed and TSCC did not... what should disturb you is that Dancing with the Sars got renewed and SCC did not.

Let us get our priorities straight.
Science Fiction forever

Another great show bites the dust. Its a shame. The novel was pretty good (I've always wished it had been written by an A lister like Michael Crichton, but it was still a decent book). I hope they keep their word and let us see the end of the season without having to buy the DVD's.

ABC should just give up trying to develop regular shows, and focus on shows that only last a month or two.

Oh, wait...they've already done that. Never mind.

Hey, SyFy... in case you missed it above, here it is again.

"It does say "a rep for the network said that the six-day hiatus had always been built into the show's schedule. " And this is a holiday week.

All signs point to this being a non-story.
-- Scott"

Wording your headlines in such a way as to intentionally mislead the reader does nothing for your credibility.

Why are people acting like this show has been cancelled? It's a six day hiatus. It has the top dvr and online numbers gained of any freshman series. It's got problems (we've not even seen episodes without Guggenheim's involvement as of now) but I can't see ABC tossing it, yet. This is a non-story with a bloated title line.

FlashForward, the novel, is about CERN, and I wish the TV series version would get to the subject of CERN causing the event. In news this date, a CERN expert said that kind of timewarp event is possible, so this is where science fiction becomes real science. The series could get more viewers if they would make that connection to real events about CERN in the news today.

NOOOO!!!!!! why is it I get into shows like this and they fail! Defying Gravity, Kings,... Above and Beyond, Earth 2..... oh those are old... anyway... I think the internet has a lot to do with it, like Hulu. People watch these shows, just on their own time. Sorry but these studios are going to have to restructure their thinking because the realm of TV shows is changing and the companies need to think ahead and start adjusting now or they could be in big trouble. Just a thought

April 29 is my birthday!!! ZOMG! I must be the cause of the FlashForward when i wake up on my birthday and just don't give a F*ck anymore.

WTF ABC? Please cancel the lizard copycat series instead..leave FF alone.

I had to give up on TrashForward after the episode with the poker game. In fact, the bit where the two characters actually decided to play a game of poker to decide whether they tell the world what they did is the very moment I switched off. It's a total crapfest which will now hobble to reach the end of its first (and hopefully only) season. Braga....you've done it again, you TW^T!.

This is the frustration I have with watching and gaining interest with a new show. You start to watch it and it never concludes and gets cancelled. Given the new way people watch TV: DVR, Internet etc, is there a accurate way to indicate the popularity of a show

watching,

In case you haven't noticed, ABC doesn't have too many 'freshman' shows that make it past 5 episodes. It's sad a few years ago i cancelled my cable because ALL I watched was ABC.

Less and less people are watching their programs because they don't last very long. Take Cheers for example:

"Cheers, NBC's longest running comedy series, aired from 1982-1993, at 9:00 P.M. Thursdays. The show narrowly escaped cancellation during its first season and took several years to develop a strong following. By 1985, however, Cheers was one of television's most popular shows. It garnered top ten ratings for seven of its eleven seasons and often earned the number one ranking in the weekly Nielsens."

Get a f*&^@g clue ABC. You're pissing off you viewers and their going to CBS.

Oh, no! They shut down production for a week with a holiday in the middle of it? STOP THE PRESSES!

With so many methods of delayed viewing, the networks have got to come up with a new set of metrics. I'm too busy to be in one place when most shows come on. I work in a five person office and four of us watch this show. We are all at different stages. Three of us watch via Hulu. The other watches via her DVR. Most of the people that watch scifi shows are tech savvy and use alternative methods of watching shows other than having our behinds in seats whenever this show actually comes on. The network, broadcast and cable need to get a clue.

Oh no! Ratings dropped 8%! Only 8 million viewers!

Aren't networks only bringing in 20 million viewers for an entire night? 1/3 of 20 million is... less than 7 million. So... isn't FF doing its share?

Wasn't Dollhouse renewed with only 2 million viewers? (Okay, maybe not the best example...)

Point is, 8 million viewers may be fewer than it had, but it's hardly nothing. There are other shows that are in much more danger of being cancelled than FF.

Syfy is simply envious of any show that gets more than the 2 million viewers its best shows draw.

Let's not forget where we are and who's posting these so-called news items. Syfy loves to post this kind of garbage when it comes to ABC's shows. It's a holiday!...Chill out people! If you want the shows to stay on...don't believe everything you read and keep watching...

My biggest complaint with Flash Forward is that none of the characters seem bright enough to even bother testing whether or not the future they've seen can be changed, or if it's permanent. They all just run around confused and end up actually *causing* the future they saw to happen. Geez people. It's not that complicated. Step 1: Just destroy a unique, one-of-a-kind item that someone saw in their flash forward. Burn a building if you have to. Step 2: Publish the results to the giant web site and stop running around like scared idiots.

@ former ABC Loyalist

CBS is not without guilt. They cancelled Now and Again while it was in the top ten because its viewership wasn't young enough. That was one of the best sci-fi shows to its date.

"TrashForward" -- that's a really creative way to put a negative spin on the show's title because it rhymes!

No, wait, it doesn't.

I think we all know should know, by now, that the only positive news scifiwire spins is for it's own series.

That's no small feat for SGU!

ABC = Another Big Cockup!

Flash Forward beats all those sodden reality TV shows any day. For God's leave it alone ABC.

Trash doesn't rhyme with Flash, Angryjonny?

Why aren't people watching this series? It's brilliant!

This news makes me very sad.

I will add, however, that a week's hiatus is normal in many shows. It just gives everyone a break. (Sometimes, it means the show is in trouble, but not always)

A week's hiatus just before several weeks' worth of holidays & football bowl games, etc., is nothing new.

I like how someone put it earlier- 'it was a planned break and its a holiday week' - go figure.

I think Syfy is just picking on this show cause its a damn good show. I never see anything about V and it sucked from the very first episode. That's my two cents anyway.

I love FF please keep it alive ABC!

I tuned out at the exact moment Melora did in her post- the poker game. C'moooonnnn... I'm all for cerebral sci-fi, but ya still have to care for the characters. Viewing InchForward became a chore. Forget the main character, it drove ME to drink.

My whole family loves this show. We hope it continues. Most shows we like gets cancelled.

I have been a fan of the show. I have watched every single episode. My thing is like alot of shows I have yet to sit down when they are on and watch them right there. I DVR it and watch it at my convinence.
The show is good and like V it is something different to watch when you are not trying to skip past all of the CSI or reality shows.
ABC should keep it going.

I have all the flash forwards on my DVR. Haven't watched one yet. And if the show is cancelled then i'll just delete them all. Otherwise i'll watch them when I get a chance.

This show won't be canned before the first season airs all it's episodes. Contrary to what the chicken littles here at Syfy wire would have you believe, 8 million viewers on a Thursday night is not bad at all. It's the most competitive night of the week, and just like Fox keeping Fringe's lights on, ABC will keep Flash Foward's lights on. Everyone wants a piece of that movie trailer pie. Simply put, it's not doing bad enough on the most competitive night of the week to be canceled.

Now whether or not it'll live past the first season is a whole nother story.

Way to go, ABC. Why don't you just kill LOST at the same time? Go ahead, bite the hands that feed you. I dare you.

ONLY 8 million.. WTF? (that's a shit load) Network TV can kiss my ass anyway.. This IS a great show and needs to make it to the April 2010 date one way or another..

I agree with Flux. 8 million is a low? Syfy you're just jealous. Have you guys ever notice how SGU hasn't been mentioned lately, or how V seems to have low ratings but they never say how many like they do for FF?

Well in my opinion if 8 million is 'Seriously LOW' then all network shows are in trouble.

Sci-fi buy the rights? Are you kidding me? They've had plenty of opportunities, from Firefly to Journeyman, and just let them die. Sci-fi doesn't have the guts. Never will. Not when they can continue to make their low-budget weekend crapfest movies. Or show wrestling. (WTF? Wrestling?)

Who is the target audience, SciFi fans? In the words of Spock, it's not logical. after the FF travel would be shut down. And who is working on figuring this out the FBI? And nobody is worried that it will happen again? Unfortunately the concept and first episode was good but the story got lost on character building. It seemed that they couldn't figure out what type to show it was supposed to be. SciFi, Cop or Drama. There were many questions that they needed to address right off the bat that they didn't address so they lost people. Now what could Jump-the-shark? Get back to SciFi. In the words of Desi - "you've got some splaining to do"

WOW, are you all watching the same Flash Forward that I am??? I super enjoy wathcing and love the cast! The show should stay going and people will love it. I agree with an earlier comment about V being a bit on the sucky side! Flash Forward way surpasses the rest.

I love this show. Sure it's got its flaws, but so what, the premise is intriguing, and the execution is excellent: it has a rather choppy narrative which I think is appropriate. I like the red herrings, and the inconsistencies, which are sort of unavoidable, I mean it is about time travel, so it's bound to be inconsistent. I hope it either gets renewed, or they end it appropriately: April 2010 which should be the end of the series.
By the way, I watch it on the net, can't handle it being butchered by commercials.

I really like this show but off until March 2010!!! If ABC or any other network wonders why shows have bad ratings it's because they either have long hiatuses or they bounce them around so you don't even know they are still on. I hate that Grey's and Private Practice are gone for so long. Why is that? I get to the point that I forget about them an done day I'll refuse to watch at all.

FF is a great idea, with a great pilot, but the series has had lousy dialogue and overdramatization. I've stopped counting the number of times I've gagged on how forced and unnatural the story is. Yet, I keep watching, hoping it will eventually live up to its intriguing premise.

I like Flash Foward but now it is going to become another show that I get intrested in and all of a sudden it is cancelled on your network. I have been intrested in many shows that just disappear. ABC does not even give shows a chance. I am just going to go back to reading.

I'm still irritated at ABC over Invasion. I was happy to watch Lost and then Invasion. Then they had to kill Invasion because it "only" had about 10 million viewers. It was getting good and then they had to leave it in the middle of a major cliffhanger.

I'm so sick of of how tv/cable treat scifi shows. I still get angry thinking of Farscape's cancellation. ha! I haven't watch anything regularly on the channel since.

I really looked forward to viewing the show every week.... .It made you think outside the box of the what if's? (so to speak).
I will truly miss it, if it does not return.

The book Flash Forward that was written in the late 90s is very different than the TV program but for anyone who is curious. The Flash Forward was caused by a combination of the experiment the scientists were doing and energy from a supernova that hit the Earth at the same time.
