Flash Forward

Watching "Flash Forward" reminded me of the good things about my middle school and high school days, and made me laugh at some of the bad ones. I admired the sensibility of the actors, especially Jewel Staite, whose monologues were always delivered with the honest emotions of a teenager. I was pleasantly surprised to see her in the sci-fi film "Serenity," and for a while I could not remember where I had seen that face and that funny little voice. Then it came to me. It's nice to see that she's done great things after the success of "Flash Forward."

By the way, it's too bad that the show was canceled when it was. While many might bemoan that we missed out on seeing our beloved characters grow, I feel bittersweet about the cancellation of the show, personally. After all, people grow and change. However, we will always remember our good friends from "Flash Forward" as youthful and full of that inquisitive spirit that brings a smile to our face when we remember them.

Yep. I was flipping through the channels when I caught a sight of Flash Forward. I watched it for a couple of seconds and bam! I was hooked. I started to watch it everyday and it turned out to be a really cool show. It was funny and entertaining, and I was disappointed to see it canceled. Oh well, some of the actors are really making names for themselves now...

Flash Forward was,for me,one of the best written and performed teen shows ever.Now I am 39,and did not come across the show till 1998 and by that time it was long out of production.I can only recall one or two episodes that were just ok but otherwise this was fantastic!Jewel,Ben, Asia and Theo were so great and played the roles like you know people like them.The supporting cast was just as great,there are so many to name,but they were wonderful. The guest part Caterina Scrosone had as "Darby" was,in a word,perfect.Why it was just one episode,we will never know.She was the perfect sidekick for Tucker.Disney has tried many shows since then,but had they kept this fine show in production,we could have had Flash Foward the movie rather than Lizzie McGuire.

When I was about the same age as the characters in the show, I watched "Flash Forward"... and loved it. It was real. The characters really feel like people at your own school, people you might be friends with. Or at least people you'd like to be friends with.

Even though it was in general a lot lighter and frothier than actual middle school, there was enough realism to make it convincing. Jewel Staite is absolutely incredible and continues to fascinate and amaze with her talent.

The stories were fun, and some of the dialogue was really incredible, particularly for what is considered a 'youth' show. I hope someday there are more young shows of this caliber.

Now if I can just get this on DVD!

This was my favorite show when I was in seventh and eighth grade. The characters were so well played and the stories were adorable. The finale was the best episode ever!I wish they had kept the series going. I would have loved to have seen Tucker, Becca. Miles, and Christine grow up. It's great. Watch if you ever get the chance.
