On October 21, 2009, it was announced that executive producer Marc Guggenheim would leave ABC's FlashForward. Co-creator and executive producer David S. Goyer stepped in to replace him as show runner. On February 5, 2010, Goyer announced he would be stepping down as show runner to focus on feature films and directing. He will still be involved with the show, however. Replacing Goyer will be his wife, Jessika, along with Lisa Zwerling and Tim Lea.
Recent reports suggest FlashForward may not survive to a second season, with Zachary Knighton, Ryan Wynott and Christine Woods having signed onto new projects, in the wake of falling ratings.
The SAFE shows that premiered this fall include The Cleveland Show, Community, Cougar Town, FlashForward, Glee, The Good Wife, Mercy, The Middle, Modern Family, NCIS: Los Angeles, V and Vampire Diaries.
One show, The Beautiful Life, is completely DEAD & BURIED. (It's been yanked from the air, production has shut down, etc.)
