ABC has ordered 12 more episodes for their rookie series FlashForward. Variety reports the science-fiction suspense series will now be a full season.

ABC has given a back-nine episode pickup to “FlashForward.”

Drama from ABC Studios has been a solid ratings earner at 8 p.m. Thursday, edging CBS’ reality stalwart “Survivor” in the timeslot and is the top 18-34 new drama of the season.

New DVR numbers show the Joseph Fiennes starrer has picked up 2 million viewers including later playback. Sept. 24 premiere jumped to 14.5 million viewers and from 4.1 to 4.9 rating in 18-49 demo.

Numbers have settled down since the launch but that is to be expected in a show as serialized as “FlashForward.”

The show, produced by ABC Studios, is about a global blackout that hits mankind, giving people a glimpse into their future.

First two episodes were good, the last one not so much. Hopefully that is just an aberration and isn't a sign of things to come.

Yeah, I'm starting to get bored and I'm really tired of them going back to the wife's affair.

The rest of it has been fairly interesting.

BTW…does anybody else think the lead guy is the worst actor on the show?

Nobody is that intense, all the time! LOL

Joseph Fiennes? Great actor but maybe out of his element in this type of role. I think he's been alright but the dialogue he's been given at times hasn't been.

I love this show… I think that when you build suspense for an ENTIRE season like this, the reason for the Flash Forwards just CAN'T live up to expectations… But I haven't been this excited for a new show since Nip/Tuck started, which by the way STARTS TOMORROW NIGHT!

What a bonehead that guy is. I like the show, but he totally ruins it for me. I'm convinced that he is the bastard child of William Shatner and Jim Carey.
