John Cho as FBI agent Demetri Noh in FlashForward.

ABC has canceled [1] FlashForward, the sci-fi show [2] that starred John Cho in one of the most visible televison roles for an Asian American actor in recent years.

Cho played FBI agent Demetri Noh, who was part of a team that was investigating why everyone on the planet blacked out and saw visions of the future.

The high-concept show started with a bang and seemed to have promise. After a few bad episodes, I thought the show was starting to pick up. But it never caught on with many viewers, and a three-month hiatus [3] didn't help, so ABC canceled it.

The show was also notable for having Noh in an Asian-black interracial relationship [4] with a character portrayed by Gabrielle Union.

At least we'll see Cho [5] in sequels to Harold and Kumar and Star Trek [6], but I'm disappointed ABC didn't give FlashForward a chance. Anybody else wish it was renewed?
