‘Flash Forward’ On 3 Months Hiatus, Episode 11 To Air In March 2010
According to an Entertainment Weekly interview with David S. Goyer, Flash Forward isn’t coming back until March 2010! Previously it was reported that the show will come back in January with remaining 13 episodes for the season, but now it’s postponed until March. Previous, 10th Episode, called ‘A561984′ has aired on December 3, 2009.
The overnight ratings for the show have steadily declined since the premiere. FlashForward has dropped from a little over 12 million viewers to a little over 7 million viewers over the course of 10 episodes. However, according to David S. Goyer, creator of Flash Forward, this is not the main reason of pushing the date.
Quoting his answer to EW:
We originally planned to come back in January, but about three weeks ago we sat down with ABC scheduling and looked at what our programming schedule would be like. And I think on serialized show like 24, Lost, and Prison Break the most important thing is to air consecutive episodes without repeats or preemptions. To be brutally honest, our programming schedule in January was going to be awful. We were going to be off for four or five weeks [through December and into January], then back on for two weeks, then off for two weeks because of the Olympics, then back on four weeks, off for two weeks again, back on three, off for two again… Our first 10 episodes had one preemption; our last 13-episode arc was going to have four. I just think when we saw that, the studio and the network and all the producers looked at each other and said, “This is crazy.” We’d rather bite the bullet, come back in March, and air all 13 episodes consecutively without preemptions.

Another lame network decision. I may not continue watching it in March. Really? MARCH!?
December 7th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
One of the best series I have watched for a long time.
A very big mistake to take such a long break, maybe somebody should have realized the disruption of the festive season and the Olympics and not started the airing until it could be given an uninterrupted run.
December 7th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
What The Hell? I was enjoying this show! March! I will have so many GCSE’s to do, even if i do record them, i can’t catch up
December 7th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I can’t believe we have to wait til March to see the rest. I’m sure I will have forgotten the first 10 episodes by then and forget what has happened and then completely lose interest. I was really into it before. Such a shame. I’m put off watching any series like this on Five in the future now.
December 7th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
What a crock of shite! Ruined my night! Was all set for an hour on the sofa and it’s not on – Boo!
December 7th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
MARCH!!!!!! are you being serious????? and you wonder why your ratings go down, you can expect ppl to wait until MARCH…… we will forget whats happened and may not even be interested in it anymore…… this sucks!!!!
December 8th, 2009 at 6:15 am
that is just ridiculous! most people would forget what happened by the time they start again in march! i mean if they are going to do a recap anyway, they are just telling the viewers that they should not have bothered watchin the 1st half!
December 8th, 2009 at 9:01 am
WOW what a pile that is, clearly they don’t want to compete with 24, Lost and prison break.
Show some balls and put back to where it should be.
Will still watch it but hell that is long time to break even for the US networks.
December 8th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
No wonder five has such crap ratings if they don’t plan ahead like this – I understand not airing it until later due to interruptions from the Olympics, but SERIOUSLY – forward planning people?! Why didn’t they wait until they could air it without interruptions – the Olympics was something they MUST have known would clash with the scheduled run.
I’ll have completely forgotten what happened by then, and I doubt very much I’m going to bother picking it up again in March. (I mean MARCH??! seriously??!) I only realised they’d stopped for a 3 month hiatus when it didn’t air yesterday – not even a warning online (as a student I don’t have a TV).
Well done schedulers for killing the show.
December 8th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
This stinks.Love the series.Why wait till March?
December 8th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
WHAT A PILE OF CRAP,,,,, I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING WATCHING THIS LAST 10 EPISODES AND HAD NOT A CLUE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE STOPPED HALFWAY THROUGH WITH THE INTENTION OF CONTINUING IN THE NEW YEAR,,,, I HAD NOT HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH ON THE NIGHTS IT WAS AIRED ON TV AND WAS GLAD OF BEING ABLE TO CATCH UP AND VIEW ONLINE WHENEVER I GOT THE CHANCE,,,, NOW I FIND THAT IT MAY NOT EVEN RETURN UNTIL MARCH,,, WHAT KIND OF MICKEY MOUSE DUMBO’S ARE RUNNING THE ABC NETWORK,,,, I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG WHEN I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS WEEKS EPISODE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING OF EPISODE 11…
THE NETWORKS SHOULD JUST HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THESE EXCUSES THEY COME UP WITH ABOUT BEING ON AND OFF AND ON AND OFF BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO START SHOWING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE,,, OR WHAT WAS IT ,,, DID THEY NOT KNOW THAT LIFE GOES ON IN THE YEAR 2010 JUST AS IT HAS BEEN FOR LONGER THAN I CARE TO REMEMBER…. AFTER ALL,, IF THEY WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH BEING ON AND OFF AND ON AND OFF THEN THE BEST THING FOR ANYBODY THAT ACTUALLY LIKE THE SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN TO AIR THE SHOW TWICE SOME WEEKS SO THAT IT KEEPS THE EVER DWINDLING AUDIENCE INTERESTED ENOUGH TO LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING… EXCUSES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH WHEN IT COMES TO US HAVING TO BUY TV LICENCES AND DO NOT BECAUSE THERE IS MOSTLY ONLY CRAP ON THE TV,,, SO IF THE PRODUCERS AND BIG-WIGS THAT PLAN THE SCHEDULES AND LISTINGS CANNOT SEE MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS AHEAD THEN PERHAPS THEY WOULD BE BETTER OFF REPLACED WITH SOMEONE WITH A CRYSTAL BALL TO PREDICT WHEN IS THE MOST SUITABLE TIME TO AIR THE SHOWS….
December 9th, 2009 at 7:02 am
I think this is pretty disgusting – there is zero indication on the Demand Five website that there is no more shows until march or whatever.
This is the only show I watch on ‘Five’ – this reeks of a cover-up – its a money based decision – maybe to allow another network to buy the rights and not have the story spoiled by an earlier showing on Five.
I’m not buying the ‘planned hiatus’ story either – these guys know how damaging missing a week or two can be to getting people to watch an episode every week.
Clowns.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
WHAT A CROK OF SHITE! WAS WELL ENJOYIN THIS PROGRAMME!!!! CHANNEL FIVE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES
December 9th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
This is not cool. Bring it back bring it back
December 9th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
I thought the whole idea of this show was that with each week that passes in the real world, that the show does too. For example the show begins October 6th, the day of the black out (Although aired September 24 in US), and leads up to beginning of December in episode 10. If there is going to be such a long gap the the whole sinc of the show will be out!! Have the producers thought of that?!?!? Guess not!
Quick question, who is even interested in the Olympics any way? Sure know I’m not! Priorities lie with Flash Forward!!
December 11th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
WTF? Really? So no one had this crap figured out before scheduling a new series? Wow. That is a fabulous way to lose a good chunk of the interest and buzz you spent all that time and money creating…
December 11th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
It’s ridiculas that five gave no indication that there was going to be such a massive break. This isn’t the first time they’ve done it either. They still state on their website that they are going to show greys anatomy but don’t say when, living tv are 2 seasons ahead now.
December 11th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
This blows. This is seriously 1 of 2 shows I watch on tv. And now the scumbags at ABC want to ruin it because of “scheduling conflicts”. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. Love the show but I agree with the others that it will be hard to pick back up with such a long break. Just release the season on DVD so the true fans of the show don’t get screwed. Hopefully when the show comes back ABC will advertise it better than they did now with it being postponed. No warning whatsoever.
And James you’re right, who does watch the Olympics. They are so boring. I’d rather watch water evaporate.
December 12th, 2009 at 9:00 am
I fully agree, what a load of bollocks. This is one of the best shows to be brought over from the U.S. Why do we accept this shit. Channel 4 pissed about with The Soprano’s by screening it at midnight?. DOILEMS. Never mind, there is always wall to wall soaps to fall back on!!!!!!…
December 12th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Ugh! I love flahforward! Why do they have to stop at all? Now everyones is going to forget what happened before and not care anymore! stupid.
December 14th, 2009 at 7:12 am
Are people here serious?? Shows like this quite often will always have a mid-season hiatus for a short period of time. In fact, most shows will do it for around six months. Sure, seeing it in January would be great, but waiting a further two months is hardly a problem.
Besides, with the extra time that its off-air C5 and all other networks that’s airing it will have the chance to run several re-runs which will work towards increasing its fanbase. This in-turn increases the chance of a second season.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
This is my only show that I watch!!! It is awesome… I think this stinks…. You get something that is good and then stop it…stinks….Bring it back now!!!! I can’t wait to see the next episode. Are you all on a black out?
December 14th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!! all u ppl need to chill out! its only an extra 2 months, BIG DEAL! who cares u can always rewatch them on abc.com if u 4get.
i agree with dino the only sane person on here.
U don’t need to freak out they have their reasons and its not a bad idea. do u rly wanna watch an episode have to wait 2 weeks watch 2 more wait a few more weeks and so on? its better to have to wait 2 months bring it back and keep it going with out any breaks.
Besides other shows will be on that u r waiting 4. And if ur a huge Lost fan ur going to be so focused on that u prob wont notice when flash foward comes back on anyway.
So shut ur mouths and stop complaining! Get over it!
December 15th, 2009 at 8:02 am
i agree with Melissa. stop stressing out everyone! but i was also disappointed to find out that i couldnt watch a new one today.
ah well, more time for christmas movies. whats your favourite?
December 15th, 2009 at 9:03 am
Marketing decission.. To buy their dvd`s
December 15th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I’m not going to watch t.v. until Flash Forward comes back on. This is the only show I watch; I am in tears. I don’t know what to do anymore. I wish I could flash forward to March. Lost is a lost cause; I want Flash Forward!
December 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Why don’t they put it on for a different day and swap with one of the many rubbish crap they have on????
December 15th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
NUTS!
December 15th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Hey Melissa,
I wasn’t totally sure of your point was valid – then I realised you included approximately 7 billion o’s in your ‘wow’!
Now i’m definitely convinced.
So let me get you straight:
You find the thought of waiting 2 weeks between episodes unworkable, yet you think a 3 month hiatus right in the middle of the show is preferable?
I couldn’t care less about ‘Lost’.
Maybe you should be the one keeping her mouth shut?
You just finished making yourself look like a fool.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:08 am
This is some BS!!! I loved this show! How do they expect people to keep watching months later??? Everyone pretty much already said what I was going to say. People will forget what the show is about and not be interested anymore. STUPID STUPID STUPIDest thing they could have done!
December 16th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
A büdös kurva istenit, hogy baszódjon meg aki ezt kitalálta! AKAROM NÉZNI EZT A KIBASZOTT SOROZATOT ERRE SZEVASZ! Chh
December 21st, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I’m so frustrated that Flash Forward wont be coming back until March. This show grabbed my attention from the very first pre-view, before the show even started. Ever since, I can’t get enough of it. It’s become my favorite show!
I watch it on Hulu.com since because of my work schedule, I’m unable to watch it when it airs on TV. If you’re not counting how many people watch Flash Forward on Hulu then you may be missing a few million viewers that you think you don’t have!
If I have to wait till March then so be it, I will wait till March but this better end up being a full season and there better be more seasons to come!
December 22nd, 2009 at 1:58 am
Seriously MARCH!!! I mean who will remember what happened in the first 10 episodes!!! So disappointing!!!! But will be on the look out for the 11th episode!
December 22nd, 2009 at 2:19 am
typical americans if you ask me, havent got a clue. i can’t beleive it. i really can’t. gutted im speachless
December 23rd, 2009 at 2:46 pm
They are always doing this…..I was excited about this series-could hardly wait for the next episode to be shown but waiting for march is too much!!! whenever this kind of delay happens in a tv series, I loose interest and most of the time did not continue watching since my curiosity was all gone by then!!! It is like a book you start reading and can’t get enough of it but you somehow could’nt continue reading for a long time and when you return you don’t want to continue since you forgotten the first parts and definitely do not want to start over again to refresh your memo………..sucks sooo bad
December 24th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Pissed off, naturally. It was already a little hard to keep up with it because each episode required one to have seen the pilot and then to remember what happened. Not complaining though cos it is a very good show. Gutted though. March 2010?? F*ck that.
To all those blaming Five… it isn’t their fault. I think they have some kind of a contract of something with ABC. We seem to have been airing FF eps a couple of days after the North Americans (I can’t remember how many days were in between the American airings and the Brit ones… & not I’m getting confused with Sanctuary). Anywho, I doubt that Five can pull a ‘Sky One’, if you will, and buy exclusive rights to keep airing the show (cf. Sky One paying £20M for a world exclusive of the second half of season 10 of SG-1). It boils down to money, really, and tbh, I think FF’s still a bit cult-y here so they probably don’t think it’s worth the investment even if they do have the cash.
If you’re watching, Five… it’s worth it! You’re not going to show the Winter Games, so you might as well kick some ass and redeem yourself as the unwanted child/black sheep of the terrestrial channels. Come on, get some balls!
As for ABC, poo-ey.
Just because FF isn’t as well-known as your other shows. It smacks of snobbery.
: )
January 1st, 2010 at 7:33 am
oh my God….!!!!!!
march is too late…
January 3rd, 2010 at 3:47 am
I must admit, I am gutted! March is a pretty long time, but once it comes back on I am sure I’ll remember what happens and it’ll be worth it!
January 4th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Most people BUY the dvd box set after watching a series to watch inbetween series to slow waiting pains, stop moaning about having to wait 3 months !!!
January 4th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
People are blaming channel 5? I’m quite sure that it’s not their fault as they are only showing it for Britain, it actually comes from U.S abc. I agree with the person who said about the dates and how they linked up and now it is as out of sinc as Lost’s time shifts. March isn’t bad, there is the final season of Lost to watch which is far more important. If you’re that bothered read the flashforward book to pass the time and to get a heads up on what will happen!
January 4th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!! BUT IT’S AN AMERICAN SHOW,AND WE SHOULD JUST COME TO ACCEPT IT NOW.IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN XMAS BREAK,THERE’S STILL NOTHING ON XMAS OR NOT.THEY’VE DONE THE SAME WITH FRINGE ON SKY 1,GOD KNOWS WHEN THAT’S BACK.WHY SHOULD A SHOW ALREADY BEING AIRED BE FORCED TO TAKE A BREAK FOR ANOTHER SHOW,IT STINKS.WHY CAN’T IT BE FITTED IN ON A DIFFERENT DAY OR TIME?LETS HOPE IT’S NOT DROPPED ALTOGETHER LIKE ‘SMITH’ WAS,THAT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 6 EPISODES.EVEN THOUGH A FULL SERIES WAS FILMED IT WAS DROPPED DUE TO FALLING RATINGS,WITH NO WARNING IT JUST STOPPED.I’D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THE TV PRODUCERS MINDS,AND HOW THEY COME UP WITH SUCH SHOCKINGLY CRAP DECISIONS.
January 4th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
So glad I know it’s march I’ve been like a women possesed looking on sky planner lol now I can chill and wait for march and look forward to the rest of flash forward in march !!!
January 4th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
What is up with ABC and being a crappy network? Whenever there’s an interesting show like Lost or Flash Forward, it seems like they always have long hiatuses and lengthy breaks between seasons. Someone get those writers over to a better organized network!
January 6th, 2010 at 7:45 am
Here is a flash-forward from me! I see by March the DVD set of 10 episodes released and the show being shown in European channels and on sky starting in January. European channels have a different concept of airing TV shows. With one episode per week for 10 weeks will leave the seamless run that European viewers expect from TV seasons. Lost, heroes, 24 and the other top TV show’s in Europe all run in complete packages. Is it just a coincidence? I don’t think so!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:39 am
When it comes back in march, the first few episodes will be a reminder of whats already gone on.. You just wait and see !!
January 7th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
After months of watching Flash forward and really getting into it, At times if missing a episode having to find it on the internet to get my fix.
Then at Christmas it was cancelled to to be shown in January to fall in line with the yanks viewing figures in America we all have to wait for the next episode,
Now we hear that ABC in the States don’t want to broadcast till March 2010 because it suits their viewing figures well stuff them.
I hope C5 learn a lesson and don’t go near anything ABC offer in the future as this is not about what the UK audiences wants.
Again it all about Americas needs well stuff them i wont be watching C5 American made Crap any more Give me the Beeb every time at least we know when its on and when it will end!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 7:09 am
with such a long break it’s probably gonna start off big again, like the way the first episode started. might be something to look forward to.
anyways the same thing kind of happened during the writer’s strike, so i guess this is not so much to get worked up about since there are still other shows to watch.
January 11th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
I’m really disappointed. What will bother me the most is that time and dates will no longer line up now. Demetri was supposedly going to be murdered March 15, now those episodes of him trying to evade his death will air when? May? They were so particular on dates and times, this will ruin the show completely. Although I’m still curious as to what will happen, my life gets extremely hectic in March thru summer, so I’ll probably totally forget about it. Here I thought they were just taking an extended holiday break, and realized it wasn’t airing this Thursday again! So sad, was a genius idea for a TV show, very interesting.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Not impressed at all, when it went off air in the UK we were told it would be back in January and I have been waiting eagerly to now find out it won’t be back to March , well i am really hacked off – i will have probably forgotten everything that happened by that point – besides – you need sth like this for those winter nights in ! agh ! SHOCKING AND ULTIMATELY WRONG DECISION!
January 16th, 2010 at 10:51 am
My goodness. There are some seriously obssessed fans out there. I was worried that the show might have been cancelled, because I was really enjoying watching it — especially downloading it and watching it without commercials. However, my life is not going to come to a screeching halt if it doesn’t air again for a few months, nor will I stop watching it. Like one of the other fans, I’m relieved to know that it’s just in hiatus and will be back, with 13 un-interrupted episodes to finish out the first season.
It’s a very cool show, such a head-trippy premise. I enjoy pondering, “are they creating their future because of their flash forwards… or are their flash forwards coming true…?” And it cracks me up that “Harold” is one of the main characters.
Relax everyone. The show will be back, and in the meantime, get on with your lives: go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie… or stay safely ensconced in your basement cocoons staring at computer blogs and — as some have said — chill out until March.
January 19th, 2010 at 11:53 am
Really enjoyed this programme not knowing it was going to take a break – very disappointed. It puts you off watching any American series as they don’t usually finish airing the whole programme. The last one i watched was Invasion. Again, it was supposed to come back with a second series but numbers declined and they didn’t show it. very poor.
January 19th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
i think that this is so stupid i have been looking forward to watching this since the mid season finaly and i have jus found out that it may not be showing again till march and it has really upset me. Flashforward is one of the best programmes going atm and i cant wait to see what happens. i thought that is was going to be so that the last episode is on, on the 29 april :@…
January 21st, 2010 at 11:23 am
OMG what a bunch of bloody moaners, if the network had put it on in jan for 2 weeks then took it ff then back on again, all the wingers out there would still moan. MY GOD just be thankful they are bringing it back. If you dont want to watch it, then dont but stop moaning about it.P ersonally i think it was a wise decision by the network well done cant wait for march xx
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:11 am
THIS is what make u people angry?!?
I really enjoyed Flash Forward and yeah the long break is annoying. But really, people… Is this matter really so important… Really negative words have been written here (”stupid, shocking, dissapointing, load of crap… etc.)
I can´t believe all this negativity for such small thing as a tv show.
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:17 am
Very frustrated by this too. Very unfortunate — one option is to only buy the series when it’s done — no risk then, except that everyone wants to see series soon after it’s on in US.
Then we get stung with this. And it’s not just flashforward, it’s dollhouse, defying gravity & other series too. (on other uk channels)
What are the US up to? Are they really trying to destroy their TV export market. This really puts me off even bothering with any US offerings if they don’t have the conviction to follow through.
And they wonder why TV audience’s are declining — well just look at yourselves!
January 25th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Well I really enjoyed Flash Forward and although i am a little disappointed the series wont be continueing soon, I think it is worth waiting until March to see it again. Epecially if we will be able to see an episode every week until it is finished, as 4 breaks in between would be more annoying that having to wait until March.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Well some of the comments are slightly over reactive here.
I must admit i wasn’t expecting there to be a break half way through the series!! But hey do you really think all of our comments and complaints are going to make any difference to the “Big Wigs” decision to delay the next episodes, they won’t change their minds. Lets all just chill out and look forward to the next Episodes.
We can all then pass our comments when it comes back on TV and say how it was well worth the 3 month wait it was.
I’m being patient and really looking forward to it. Can’t wait to see what happens next!!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
This is total BS.. You cant start a series and then have a three month break .. this is disgraceful and so typical of channel five! Why didnt they just wait and then put the whole thing on when they could rather than this bollocks!
January 27th, 2010 at 9:44 am
bunch of geeks!!!
January 27th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
what the hell and what olympics
January 29th, 2010 at 9:48 am
I have seen the future and its bleak. Roll on March. I have recorded all previous 10 episodes and will sit and watch them all in the 2 weeks leading up to the 11th episode. Hoorah to recorders. Cheers to the future. Alan out.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:37 am
this was a great programme and i looked forward to it every monday. i cant believe its not coming back til march. ive been checking most days so i dont miss it, but by march i may have forgotten it and lost interest very dissapointed as its been brill.
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:58 am
I wished they would just get rid of the people who makes these changes . To put people through this and make them wait is just wrong. Think I,ll just wait till the DVD comes out and then watch it all at one time. ABC can stick it where the sun don,t shine!
February 2nd, 2010 at 11:53 am
March, what the fuck? I’m already forgetting whats happened. Im only disappointed because its such a good show.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:21 pm
I love this show! Best thing to watch on t.v. in a long time. Wish it could start sooner, but I will be watching in March. Can’t wait.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:48 am
I love flashforward and van’t wait for it to come back in March. Joseph Fiennes is brilliant.
February 4th, 2010 at 7:23 am
WHAT ! MARCH ! REALLY ?
i cant wait for wathcing the next episodes and they’re telling us to wait untiil march they should give all the preemptions to them.
cant wait
February 5th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Its such a shame we have to wait until March and an even bigger shame that they are only putting one episode on per week! Maybe this is why the ratings dropped??? Its such an excellent show that people need to see it maybe 2 or 3 times a week to stay interested. Something for them to think about nearer March I guess! I hope they do a recap of the previous 10 episodes becuase I’ve forgotten where we left off before Xmas!
February 6th, 2010 at 6:49 am
idiots at ABC strike again.
working towards april finale that we will now see in June, will have lost its real time appeal unless they do 2 episodes a week?
February 6th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I love this show & am really looking forward to seeing it again in march, I remember what happened and all the anticipation will be worth the wait
February 8th, 2010 at 3:54 am
I stumbled across this thread whilst searching for information on the five shows I wish to watch when they return to our screens, Flash Forward being one of them.
I agree that it would have been good if Five had stuck to their original schedule and shown the remaining episodes starting in January; I think the annoyance is not so much that we have to wait until March, but that we were promised the show back in January, and they have reneged on that promise.
But I have to say, do people really rely that much on TV? Yes, there are shows I like to see, but I can always find something else interesting to occupy my time. To read some of the comments, anyone would think people were going to suffer major deprivation if the show isn’t on. Come on, people, get a life!
February 8th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Come on! You can’t be serious. This is not cool!!!!
February 11th, 2010 at 12:03 am
OH AND LAMEWOLF YOUR ON HERE LOOKING FOR 4 SHOWS IM LOOKING FOR 1 AND IM PRETTY SURE YOU NAME DESCRIBES YOU WELL!!!! FAGGOT!!!
February 11th, 2010 at 7:34 am
i miss my dog more then that tv show stan was the best dog 2009 rip boy
February 12th, 2010 at 6:23 am
!! Big Mistake !!
Ridiculous decision.
:-/
February 13th, 2010 at 12:05 am
read the note above. it makes perfect sense. I would rather the show go on hiatus, so it can come back on with new shows every week, than be pre-empted or show reruns.
February 13th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Hoping you come back in March. Willing to wait a few months, but will shoot wife and kids if you don’t… Hey, no pressure…
February 16th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Ha ha, was wondering what had happened, someone deleted the last episode (with series link) from my sky box thought I was gonna miss rest of the series; can’t watch at the time usually cos of my shift patterns.
Don’t think it will take too long to get back into, hope not anyway cos for my money it’s still one of the best things on telly.
February 17th, 2010 at 8:47 pm

February 18th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Gutted!!! Well hopefully it’ll be worth the wait!

Why dont you have a flash forward (catch up) week showing all ten episodes over 5 nights, show 2 episodes every night then go straight into episode 11.Positive feedback,its then giving the veiwers choice if they want to catch up,instead of moanin about it.Its a great chance to redeem your selves.Go for it guy’s!!!

There are bigger things in life to get frustrated over! Go be frustrated over things that matter…like the injustices in our country that is full of SPOILED people who could spend their time doing things for others.
Come on people, I was looking forward to it and as interested as anyone, but let’s be logical…it WILL be okay.
And it’ll be back! All is well with the world…well not really, but your show will be back so I guess that is all that matters…sadly.
February 23rd, 2010 at 4:18 am
Hmm, will the final episode be on April 29th then?
February 23rd, 2010 at 4:53 am
Can’t believe there’s so many of you upset about a television programme not airing till March. No wonder the country is in the state it’s in if this what you get angry about.
Get a life.
February 23rd, 2010 at 8:25 am
I must admit I wasnt expecting such a long break, but I dont really care. This is such a fantastic show and I cant wait for it to come back on again!!!!!

With all the doom and gloom soap’s we have to put up with (gave up watching years ago) I was pleased to see something new on our screens which was connected to the sci fi fantasy section. Story line worthy, Actors known, I decided to follow until it just stopped showing, No comment after ep 10 that they would continue in the new year, just left us waiting, wondering when the next episode was going to show. Once again I felt someone had pulled the plug on another drama I’d enjoyed, Defying gravity..Axed. Eastwick..Axed, Please don’t axe this one!!
February 26th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
haaahaa, i cant wait till marchh, aslong as its back on ti doesn’t bother me xD

February 26th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
I think they made the right choice by not airing until march. I wouldn’t want it to be chopped up and scattered out over that long of a period of time
Flash Forward will be back soon.. And it’s going to kick ass..
This show has more potential and has more production value than any other show i’ve seen on any network other than HBO or SHOWTIME

I just read the book last week. I took me two days. I thought is was one of the best original ideas and compelling books I have read in a couple of years. I typed it in to Wikipedia to learn more about the author and other books that I might enjoy and I stumbled across this show. Such a great show. I watched all ten episodes in two days. I am addicted to this premise. I can’t wait til it comes back on the air.
I also can’t believe how many people complained on here. I guess that’s what people do on the internet these days. And to think that it was invented for people to take their frustration out on porn not attacking a show that they all seem to like. Lol.
If anyone is actually reading this post that works on the show, then I say kudos to you. Excellent show. Keep up the good work.
February 27th, 2010 at 9:07 am
It’s been obvious from the begining that the programme wouldn’t re-start ’til Marc ‘10.
It was in MY Flash Forward
February 28th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
ooooh well.. i just starting wondering when f.f. was going to be on,and have stumbled across this site…March u say?? hmm march tomorrow,thats me a happy bunny! hehe not to long to wait now then!!
February 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I always thought final episode would be on April 29th….but looks like that will be missed if it doesn’t start soon…..unless they start showing a few a week in the run up to 29/4
February 28th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
PLEASE BTELL ME WHEN IN MARCH AM TRYING TO SERIES LINK IT, GOING ON HOLIDAY IN 2 DAYS AND I JUST KNOW I WILL MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 1st, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Can’t wait for the show to start again. When is March does it start? Am googling away here but can’t seem to find the answer?
March 2nd, 2010 at 2:12 am
this is great; it builds the tension up nicely… and i can remember everything too, how could you forget ? Even more people will watch it now.
March 2nd, 2010 at 12:55 pm
i loved flash foward …but then it stopped

March 3rd, 2010 at 1:38 am
It’s March. But still no information about 11? Any idea?
March 3rd, 2010 at 6:51 am
in ur face vinny jones
March 3rd, 2010 at 3:05 pm
It’s March, I’m in the UK. When back????
March 4th, 2010 at 9:09 am
March??! If they postpone it any longer we would have forgotten what was going on in the episodes before and not get it. We may as well watch it all again!
March 5th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
omg its like all you ppl have to do is sit around and watch tv and when a show has some diff. you freak out like it will never come on again. just be freakin happy its coming back at all it is a awesome show and i personally would watch the new episode if it didnt show for another 6 months the real question ppl should be askin is what day in march. remmeber its good to practice patience youll prolly live longer.
March 5th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
oh yeah and you ppl act like they wont recap previous shows duhhh take a chill pill yall
March 5th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Thursday March 18! Don’t forget!
More info in official website http://abc.go.com/shows/flash-forward
March 6th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
I’m excited that FlashFoward will be returning soon. Better a three month hiatus than a cancellation. I’ve been rewatching the first 10 episodes so I’ll be ready. One question though, Agent Noh’s death was predicted for March 15, 2010, so when the show resumes on March 18th will it really be March? Or an earlier date? Does anyone know?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:56 am
I cannot believe the comments. If you have more than the attention span of a fruit fly you will not forget a series you enjoy. Flash Forward is worth waiting for. Surely some of you have read a book before and waited a very long time for the sequel to come out?
If some of you have problems remembering I suggest you try and exercise your minds. Memory is there to help you not to say you have non!
March 8th, 2010 at 3:22 am
“WHAT A CROK OF SHITE! WAS WELL ENJOYIN THIS PROGRAMME!!!! CHANNEL FIVE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES”
you do realise Chan5 do not make the actual show!?
it airs at similar schedule to the US, like 24 and a number of other US shows. (I really doubt ABC would allow the UK to air the show before the US).
March 9th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
guys wtf are you saying I loved watching it my mondays were all planed out and then it stopped,
Yes i was upset but at the end of the day i would prefer to watch it without any breaks so i am happy to wait and so should you be
If people want to know what happened us the internet i have watched the very first show online so why can’t you
March 11th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Exactly flashfan,
This is nothing to do with Channel 5 at all. Its a US TV network thing, they do it with all US shows…
I have been watching Stargate Universe since its UK tv debut, and as with Flashforward, it has taken a ‘mid season break’ and will not return on our screens until it returns in the US… in April!!
When Flashforward returns in the US, it will return to Channel 5 as they can only air the show once it has gone out over there.
Relax people… and blame the US networks

March 13th, 2010 at 10:50 am
I thought Flashforward was great till i heard there was going to be a second and third season, it should end after the date of the flashforward. I am not watching them drag it out for possibly years. I would rather watch paint dry.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Wow – I stumbled upon this highly amusing thread while looking for the start date of the second half of Flash Forward.
Seriously guys – this is a made up tv programme, are you really going to let yourself get so het up over something fictional and insignificant.
You are acting like a bunch of spoilt baboons – Be grateful that it IS coming back and chill the hell out until the people that run the show decide when they want to air it again!!
I think they made the right choice!!
Peace out fools – im off to chill out and enjoy the anitcipation!!
March 15th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Has…… anyone of you…… thought about going outside? x
March 16th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
WOOHOO..can’t wait for Thursday night!
March 17th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
this sucks balls! my sky + is not telling me anything about when it starts again and if i have to wait much longer, i think i will top myself. Also, it’s easy for all you balloon heads to say get a life, why are you moaning that it’s not back on till march blah, blah, blah, when you posted your comments in fucking february. truth is, they make you wait, then don’t advertise its return properly and u end up missing the first episode. that’s what happened with prison break anyway and i am pissed off. what a load of turd. does anybody know when it really starts again?
March 18th, 2010 at 3:12 am
Regarding Flashforward’s return. I have checked the TV guide, and it is back on Monday 22nd March 2010. It is a double episode starting at 9pm on channel 5. Personally, I can’t wait, it has been a long, long time.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:34 am
It returns on Channel 5 on Monday 22nd of March at 9pm.
Looking forward to it’s return.

In the final episode all is not as it seems. Olivia has not left Mark for Lloyd Simcoe. Mark is drinking in his flash forward because he IS forced to kill his partner, but he has not spit up with his wife. Instead, the reason Lloyd is in his house is because Mark, who is still running a renegade operation has to work together with Lloyd, who he hates. For that reason, on April 29th at about 9pm he has to go out urgently as he remembers something crucial he needs to follow up on in the office. He doesn’t know Olivia is in, he thinks she is at work, but actually she ran in and got in the shower. Mark calls Lloyd to come over and babysit the kids, both Mark’s little girl and Lloyd’s little boy, Dylan, as they look after him and he lives with them since Lloyd cannot look after him given his current circumstances. So, Mark calls Lloyd, Lloyd comes over, Mark goes out, Lloyd spills something on his top and has to take it off, sits in front of the TV, Olivia comes out of the shower and gets ready, and goes to call Mark to bed at the time we see in the flash forward. She calls from the upstairs bannister “hey honey”, Lloyd Simcoe turns around and Olivia is taken aback: “oh, what are you doing here? where’s mark?” she exclaims. And that’s a little snapshot of the crucial final episode which will air in April 2010.
April 1st, 2010 at 8:30 pm
I started watching this show from the first episode. Today is April 1, 2010…. OMG this show become HORRIBLE!!!!! They have added in so much stuff that the first season didn’t have. I find myself watching these new episodes, saying “HuH?” I should have expected this comming from writers trying to make a new “Lost”. This show is Garbage!
April 12th, 2010 at 11:03 am
I’m welsh[ not English } and we 2 had to put up with a long break in showings – now it has started back it has to cope with competition from other series that started before the return and lots of the people who enjoyed the first episodes now are saying f*** it and not bothering to catch the second part.
April 14th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I was so angry to read the pitiful messages from people who were not happy with the 3 month break of Flash Forward. The anger in your comments is frankly lacking in world experience. Is this TV show your world? – it sounds like it.
If you forget the plot after 3 months – your brain cell needs a recharge or you could catch up on channel 5 “ catch up”.
Stop bloody whingjng . there are many many people in this world who will never be able to enjoy one minute of Flash Forward because they are blind deaf or are brain damaged,
including my 14 year old daughter
FLASH FOREWARD IS A GREAT SHOW – LET’S ENJOY IT
PERHAPS YOU GUYS SHOULD GET A LIFE
BRIAN
April 16th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I LOVE THE SHOW… I am a fan from Central America and I hope the keep the show on air!!!
April 19th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
We loved the first half, but the long break really ruined it for me. I don’t have the energy to rekindle my interest in the second half. Given the ratings, I think others agree with me. Sorry FF. No time for me? No time for you.
May 14th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
which ever network, all these series going away.. you don’t feel like a bunch of thieves? what about moving the show “flash forward” to a different time slot..
the crap jokers on show sg1 hung around for awhile, jeez how did they do it? oh yea, the different time slot thing.
abc.. bunch of bravo-alpha-sierra-tango-alpha-romeo-delta-sierra’s
just move the dam show to saturday noon’s you idiot’s
May 27th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I love flashforward..its and awesome show really..when will the season 3 start up i cant find it anywhere on the internet
September 25th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
When does it come back on? Its already September.
September 28th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Dam! This is gay! I really liked this show and i will be gone at basic training for the army when it starts back up! This blows!
October 29th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
I wouldn’t imagine I have ever noticed the blog site with this particular lots of remarks about it!
November 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 am
It seems to me that it is becoming a trend, East Wick, defying Gravity, Flash forward, and the latest programme, The EVENT, They all seem to have you hooked for the first show, then Some twit decides to pull the plug. Open your eyes ABC, Look at all the repeats you put on our screens, WHY??? when we have worthy new series people want. Just bring them all back, if your not a sci-fi- fan, don’t watch them,Give us the right to watch these new series instead of those brain dead soaps that make you wont to disconnect your TV..
