Can’t wait for this show, its a good replacement for Lost really which has dragged on too long. Should do well, all of Seven’s well promoted serials have premiered with close to or exceeding 2 million viewers i.e Lost, Prisonbreak, Heroes, Bionic Woman (1.5 mil) so this looks pretty much set to be a hit, for how long is another story.

i’m exited for this show purely because it is on 7, i was looking forward to some others but that wen’t out the window when 9 got hold of them. 7 is already promoting the hell out of it which is a great indicator that they will treat it well.

I’m so excited about this show, I hope it lives up to it’s trailer. If it does, then I won’t be as sad to see Lost go next year as it kind of seems like a replacement.

Oh good, I was wondering what that was. I was getting confused if they were trying to sell something or get me to log on to the Ch7 site.

Ch9 also fast tracks Entertainment Tonight.

Flash Forward is based on a Robert J Sawyer book of the same name. The Flash in question happens with the Large Hadron Collider is switched on for the first time. I knew they were filming it, and have always hoped it would screen to coincide with the LHC power-up. Maybe it will. That will make for a ‘War of the Worlds’ type broadcast and mass hysteria!

I will definitely be checking out this show when it airs. However given that 7 lost my trust a long time ago, and they can never tell the time properly, i refuse to watch it with them.

ETA Flashforward has it premier Sept 24 in the US, same night as Grey’s Anatomy.

This looks like an awesome show and good on 7 for giving it early promotion its builds up the buzz, no one knows if this will a a success here or in the states but why shouldn’t 7 take a chance I know the ABC in the states bgean promos before it was even offically picked up.

Flash Forward sounds interesting but I hope it’s not over hyped and ends in a flop, shuffled back to late night.

And yes what happened to “Fast Tracked” A number of shows air just weeks after the US but the average viewer would not know.

Then again you have promos for shows like Survivors (from the UK) which aired over 6 months ago in late 2008. At least that is only a short series of 6 eps and Nine should air them without moving it to late night, if they air them. We all remember the countless promos for Primeval last year which never made it to our screens.
