It was a bit surprising to see Flash Forward on ABC end their season and in the fashion they did. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, Flash Forward did not come on last Thursday. After taking a week off, they did come back with a new episode. Now most episodes of Flash Forward go off with the audience wanting more. This is a typical pattern for one of the hottest new shows in the Fall line up this season. Their last show on December 3rd was good as usual, but left us with the usual cliff hangers. There was nothing special about Flash Forward when it went off Thursday night. The only shocker was that the show was ending for the season and will be back in March of 2010 with brand new episodes. This caught me off guard and I wasn’t expecting this.

I like Flash Forward and I have watched every show to this point in the series. It is lacking in substance and they give out very little information each week; while only bringing up new questions about what caused the black out. Everyone that watches FlashForward wants to know what caused the black out and this show is taking the long way home. I’m not sure my interest level will be that high; when March comes around in 2010. That is a long ways away and I think Flash Forward is making a huge mistake. They need to keep the show new each week; since they’re leaving so many mysteries on the table and answer very few of them each week. As a devoted fan of the show, I just don’t think I will watch reruns of this great new show that is on ABC. Since I won’t be tuning in for the repeats, I will forget about Flash Forward and I may have a new thing to watch on Thursday nights; when March of 2010 gets here. I could understand if they need a break or more time to create new episodes, but making us wait 3+ months for this is just asking too much (in my opinion).

Have you been keeping up with the Flash Forward series on ABC? Are you curious to see what causes the black outs to occur? Did it shock you to see that the show had ended for the 2009 season and won’t be back until March? If they knew the show on December 3rd was going to be the last one, they should have made more of an effort to leave us on the edge of our chairs. I think we got the usual cliff hanger ending and there wasn’t anything more special about this one; than the previous endings Flash Forward creators decided to use. I’m very disappointed and I’m not likely to tune in next March to see how this show explains the world wide blackout.
