Another good show gone. The people in charge of programming at all the networks need to be kicked out and some new, better people put in their place. They cancel good shows and keep terrible ones or lousy fake reality shows. Flash Forward was a great and novel show with a very good cast and had many stories yet to unfold.

Are you freaking kidding??? Why did they wait for to do this just when it was getting interesting...I'll admit, firt half of the season was a bit on the dry side but I really started gaining interest lately. I thought the same thing when they cancelled 'The Unit', loved that show. 'V' has also become really interesting to me also. One show I would have loved to see gone (and, a long time ago) was 'Lost'. Wasted 4 years of my life watching...and waiting for answers. I know I'm in the minority on that one but I feel like I have nothing in common with the age group watching the shows that get their seasons renewed.

Well Shawn, at least V is coming back next season. For at least 13 episodes.

I don't know how many more episodes of Flash Forward they will show, I just know it won't be back in the Fall.

Yeah, but what happens when they pull the same stunt at the end of next season? I wish I could be an optimist.

I guess it was too expensive to jusitfy keeping since the ratings were as low as they were. But V was renewed for 13 episodes next season. You watched that show, didn't you?

It seems like networks are going back to the formulaic dramas again. I mean Lost is going, and Flashfoward has been canceled, as well as Fox's 24. Networks just don't want to go out on a limb anymore. But I'm glad V survived. It has a lot of actors I enjoy knowing they are getting work.

Yes I watch V and again I have to tape another show and stay up late to watch it. In fact V is on opposite two shows I like; fortunately the other one is repeated on the weekend most weeks and when it isn't I watch it on the web.

My whole family (except me) loves Flash Forward, and every time I tell them it's canceled I think they're going to stone me. Here's the deal... they're not going to get fired because they cancel shows based on viewers. If the show doesn't get enough viewers to fund it, then it's gone. Then don't stop because they want to annoy you, they stop because they don't have any money. Lousy reality shows are cheap, so they don't need nearly as many viewers to support them. Sad, but true. I don't really watch TV anymore. I find all my great stories from books now.

They don't get the viewers for some shows because of when they schedule them. To watch Flash Forward I have to tape another show and then stay up late to watch it. The reality show are as you say cheap and that is all that a lot of them are, cheap and not worth watching at all.

What I was saying was that another show I like was on at the same time as Flash Forward and I would have to tape it, all I have is a VCR, and watch it later after I had watched two other shows that I like. That is why I had to stay up late to watch the other show I had taped.

i agree that those in charge cancel good shows.so much so that i tend not to watch a show in its 1st season so as not to get into something that is canceled. That being said....you're the only person I've come across that doesn't think flashforward deserved to be canceled. it wouldn't be in my top 50 canceled before their time list anyway
