FlashForward officially cancelled, V renewed for 2nd season..

I don't know about any of you guys, but that greatly disappoints me. I loved the direction FlashForward has been going in, and since their return, the show has picked up immensely. It's sad, that a show as mediocre as V is actually coming back while FlashForward gets the axe. I knew the show was far from perfect and far from even a show to take Lost's mantel, but still. It was a great show in it's own right, and I'm peeved that I let myself get hooked into it now.... :(:x:cry:

what the HELL is going on!!!!! first heroes and now this!!!!:cry:

I'm not too suprised FlashForward got the axe. It was a really good idea for a show, but it didn't play out very well.

thank god. good first first episode and then it got so bad!!!!!

I agree it could've been improved, but I figured that was just something that would happen in the next season. It had an excellent concept for a show and the recent twists have kept me pretty hooked. Now I don't know what shows I'm going to be watching since 24, Lost, AND FlashForward are all going away.

Flashforward was actually a good show, though it could have been done better. I watched V for the first few episodes, then fell out of interest.

FlashForward was alright, but for plot reasons i couldn't see this show going past Season 1 anyway.

Good. It was obviously an attempt from the studio to fill in the gap once LOST leaves.sammyjenkis898

Very true. Unfortunately, I think the closest I'll come to filling that gap now is probably Fringe. That show is excellent and still has endless potential to have some incredible plots. As long as FF wraps up this storyline decently enough and gives it at least a good closure point, then I'll be okay with it. I understand the criticisms a lot of people had for it, but I still thought the concept was great, and the stories in the episodes were intriguing enough to keep me wanting to know more. For me the weakest point of the show were the characters and the piss poor character development. I guess Lost not only set the standard for trippy mystery storylines, but also for excellent characters and character development.

I was going to watch Flash Foward but decided not to, so I don't no what to say about that one. However I am excited that V is getting another season. The show has been getting better recently, so I am glad that ABC are giving it a chance.:)

I might go and give V another shot since it's actually going to be around another seasons.. I watched the first 5 episodes of that show and I just really could not get into it at all. Nothing was happening, the story was tedious, the acting was subpar, and there had been absolutely no twists or surprises. If it got better though, then I can suffer through a few more episodes to get to the good stuff.

I guess Lost not only set the standard for trippy mystery storylines, but also for excellent characters and character development.

Yeah, I strongly disagree on that. Besides the fact that LOST's characterization can be just a mess, it is not the first show to demonstrate excellent characters and character development on television.

I wasn't suggesting it was the only standard, but my favorite characters from any tv show (with the exception Jack Bauer who is my favorite tv show character of all time) are on that show. I love the transformations of characters I've seen on Lost though, and its the greatest and most important aspect to that show, even over the sci fi storyline.

Heroes went downhill fast after Season 2. Flash Forward hasnt been the best but its still kept my interest every week and its starting to get better, shame its getting cancelled but there's still great shows on. Fringe and House being my two favourites (since Supernatural S5 ended) and V is good.

I'm glad I stopped watching after the second episode before I could get into the series. Commander-Gree

Yeah you're lucky. The show had an excellent beginning, and even though the middle of the season was mediocre at best, the last 5 episodes have been great and the show's concepts had such great potential for a series. Just couldn't hold on to the ratings unfortunately. It was a far better show than V though, IMO.

I like V and I saw most of the episodes. FlashForward I was going to watch it I saw the first episode made up my mind instantly that I didn't like it and never watched it again.
