FlashForward Gets Picked Up

The ABC drama FlashForward has received a back nine pickup, which is great news. The order has been extended from 22 to 25 episodes.

Move is not unexpected as drama from ABC Studios has been a solid ratings earner at 8 p.m. Thursday, challenging CBS reality stalwart "Survivor" in the timeslot. "FlashForward" is one of the top new dramas of the season in adults 18-34.

Over the show's three weeks' live plus same-day average, skein is drawing 10.7 million viewers, with a 3.6 rating/11 share in the 18-49 demo. New DVR numbers reveal the Joseph Fiennes starrer picked up 2 million viewers for a total of 14.5 million in its Sept. 24 premiere. Rating increased from a 4.1 to 4.9. Numbers have settled down since the launch, but that is to be expected in a serialized show such as "FlashForward."

Joseph Fiennes and John Cho are both doing fabulous jobs with their characters on the show, and we can't wait until Dominic Monaghan (Charlie from Lost) joins the cast.
