FlashForward  ‘Buddha in Ruins’ 1×11

(Resumes March 18, 2010)

Does anyone know what is _really_ going on with FlashForward? It’s now getting a third showrunner as that the first two have now bailed (see below). First it was the stoppage of production due to they said, not wanting to compete with the Olympics. OK. I get that. But the hiatus has been huge, especially for a show in it’s first season with only 10 eppys under it’s belt. I cannot imagine why ABC would want to kill it though I realize that the pressure is on now that LOST has started the beginning of it’s end and the network needs a show in the same vein more or less, to hold onto viewers like me (and probably you, too).

I think FlashForward has shown real promise and I’m looking forward to it resuming and hopefully picking back up the viewers that by March will have completely forgotten about it and a few more on top of that. We should be able to tell if the network is truly behind the show by the advertising mini campaign that will have to be in place. It deserves a strong and hopefully early push. If it does not get that the writing, sadly, is pretty much on the wall.

(February 5)

FlashForward” is getting another new showrunner.

Co-creator David Goyer is stepping down from his role running the series, sources confirmed.

The “Dark Knight” scribe will still be “involved” with the show, but will focus on feature films and directing.

Goyer had limited hands-on TV series experience, so “Eli Stone” co-creator Mark Guggenheim was brought on as showrunner after his “FlashForward” pilot received a pickup to help with the launch of the mystery drama based on Robert Sawyer’s novel.

After the show creative struggled out of the gate, Guggenheim stepped down as showrunner in October and was replaced by Goyer.

Who will serve as the new showrunner for “FlashForward” is not yet clear, yet the position is becoming a bit like drumming for Spinal Tap.

“FlashForward” is set to return March 18.
