Are you talking about this one, Mark? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Forward No, it just seems a lot of shows these days have a brilliant premise that gets it greenlit, but little substance to back it up...

ABC always had their eye on a show to replace Lost and Flash Forward was no doubt pitched as that show. I'm 99% sure that's why it was greenlit. Fortunately, I've spared myself the post-hiatus eps, so lost touch with it enough to not miss it. However, I have heard it improved a great deal after I stopped watching.
As for Heroes, nobody should be surprised by that. It's numbers were awful and it's generally been pretty bad since season 2. Season 1 is still some of the best television ever made, but they never got there again. Shame, it was a nice premise.

I gave up on Heroes after a couple of episodes on season two. The first season was entertaining.

I think it's prob a bit too far into the story to join at the moment and have a clue about what's going on. It's a good show though. You should watch season 1!

If you've watched them all and haven't enjoyed them - give up. You're clearly not getting it. Myleene Klass in a bikini on a poster on the wall of your local M&S - that's watchable. Television should be more.

5 Lessons TV Should Learn After Losing Heroeshttp://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/05/ ... =Google+UKWhile I agree with the rest of the article, I can't agree with using a multiverse - there's no quicker way to kill a comic book story, and the likes of even Grant Morrison's attempts have been poorly received (and with bloody good reason)...

Well a whole new set of shows which may or may not make it here to torrent.

A US TV show really has to grab me these days, more often than not I'd sooner watch a film...
