A fictional global blackout changed many people's fates on FlashForward (Television Shows), and now fans of the ABC drama are hoping a series of blackouts will help change the canceled show's fate as well.

Weeks after ABC failed to renew the ratings-challenged freshman drama, fans are organizing massive staged blackouts to take place in front of ABC offices in Los Angeles,(CSI:) New York, Chicago, and several other major cities on June 10.

"On October 6, 2009, the whole world blacked out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, at the start of what promised to be ABC's new hit show, FlashForward (Television Shows)," the "Save FlashForward (Television Shows)" website says. "On June 10th, there will be another blackout, this time to change fate."

The staged blackouts and mailings mirror previous fan efforts to save cult series. In 2008, Jericho fans sent peanuts CBS executives, persuading them to give the show a short second season. Last year, Chuck viewers locked in a Season 3 renewal by flocking to series advertiser Subway as part of the "Finale and a Footlong" campaign.

FlashForward (Television Shows)'s May 27th season finale in www.dvdpaypal.com  ended with a number of cliff-hangers, putting the future of main characters Benford and FBI agent Janis Hawk (Christine Woods) into question and showing FlashForward (Television Shows)of 2011 and 2015. The episode attracted 4.95 million viewers.

Regardless of fans' best efforts, it's unlikely that the show has a real shot at a second season. Three of the Drama (from www.dvdpaypal.com)'s main cast members, including Fiennes, Woods and Zachary Knighton, have already committed to other TV projects.
