TV Review: FlashForward, Five, 28/09 FlashForward is Channel 5's hot new US TV show that literally some people are talking about. The writers of FlashForward came up with the idea while cleaning their kitchen surfaces and thought to themselves, "Goodness! I wish I could fast-forward this arduous task!" A two minute pause followed. "Hold on...Flash kitchen cleaner, Fast-Forward.....FlashForward!" Handily, that’s also the premise of this new Lost-esque sort of sci-fi, but definitely action/drama, genre series.

Family Guy’s Cleveland Gets Own Show

When Joanie loved Chachi it lasted exactly 17 episodes. When Frasier loved Niles it lasted even longer-ish.

When Skeletor remembered he had a mentor that had long ago been locked on another planet with He-Man's sister, it was like a steel-toed boot to the nethers. But that's just the risk of a spin off, now isn't it? You think you've got a great product, but then Hordak shows up and kicks you in the jellies.

Unless the spin-off of which you speak belongs to Cleveland Brown of Family Guy fame. He, apparently, is on the threshold of carrying his own show.
