I remember watching the FlashForward pilot last summer and I was really psyched by the show back then. Somewhere along the way I guess people starting getting less excited, and the show that was sort of meant to take up Lost's crown was unfortunately canceled. I'm kind of sad about that, because I think the premise of the show had a lot of promise. The entire series was released on DVD today (August 31) and if you're a fan of the show, you should definitely check it out. We have videos below containing some of the bonus features from the DVD set, including some bloopers, some mini documentaries and a few deleted scenes.
BURBANK, CA, July 2010 – Walt Disney Home Entertainment invites audiences to relive every suspenseful moment of the thrilling, action-packed drama FlashForward, with ABC’s FlashForward: The Complete Series, available on DVD August 31, 2010. Allowing fans to rediscover the mystery behind the global blackout, this exciting release features five discs, including all 22 episodes of the series, plus over 60 minutes of immersive bonus material, including bloopers, deleted scenes and much more.
Chaos reigns in Los Angeles after a mysterious event causes everyone in the world to lose consciousness at exactly the same moment. Was it an act of nature? Something man-made gone wrong, or something even more sinister? Whatever it was, every person on Earth blacks out for two minutes and seventeen seconds and sees a series of events from their own future, taking place on April 29, 2010 at 10:00 p.m. For some the future will be joyous and hopeful; for others, shockingly unexpected; and for a few, it simply doesn’t seem to exist. Knowing their fate will alter each person’s life in one way or another and poses the questions: Can destiny be changed? And by changing just one destiny, what effect would that have on those of others?
