ABC's FlashForward Dying In The Ratings
If your a fan of the ABC's show FlashForward you better past the word onto your friends and ask them to start watching the show. Cause if the rating's don't turn around soon we may not be getting a second season of the show. Thursday's two-hour return of ABC's sci-fi drama FlashForward had the show's lowest ratings yet, partly because of competition from basketball playoffs on CBS.
The two-hour "FlashForward" (6.6 million viewers, 1.9 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) was down 10% from its last original episode back in December. If the show continues to perform at this level, the ABC drama's next blackout might be the show winking off the air.
With the rating this low there is little hope that the show will be returning for a second season. Canadian SF writer Robert J. Sawyer—on whose book the show is based—remains sanguine. In a post on his Facebook page, the author wrote:
On the other hand, my Hollywood agent, who is much more savvy about these things than I am, just emailed to say he thinks FLASHFORWARD still has a good shot at a second season, despite last night's ratings—and it's certainly true that a lot of very-high-level conversations have been going on at ABC lately on that topic. Fingers crossed!
FlashFoward airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
