Showrunner David Goyer Leaves 'FlashForward'
Since this past fall, have we heard any good news about 'FlashForward?'First, the show shut down production for a week to work out some creative issues (that's code for ABC execs not liking where the story was going). Then the drama's initial showrunner, Mark Guggenheim, got outta Dodge. And then, ABC announced an early DVD release for the first half of the season before it resumes its 23-episode freshman run in March. But wait -- there's more! Don't forget that ABC cut the episode order too. The first season was supposed to be 25 installments long.
Well, the bad news keeps on coming as Variety is reporting that Guggenheim's replacement, David Goyer, is also stepping aside.
A third showrunner (in one season?!) has yet to be named. Goyer plans to focus on his film career but will still stay on as an executive producer for 'FlashForward.'
While the show started off strong back in September, since then it's been plagued with poor critical reception and ratings that have dropped off severely. Now with this news, coupled with all the other bad press previously mentioned, it's looking more and more like if 'FlashForward' had its own blackout, it wouldn't see much of a future for itself.
