About the Author: Robert Cota

By now I'm sure you're all wondering, "Who is this guy with this obsessive-compulsive personality that is writing about a TV show that is no longer in production?" Well, let me tell you. First you'll get a Disney Channel Quick-Bio format thing, and then learn about the name of the site and why I picked Flash Forward, and finally, get to know me a little bit more about me.

Ok everyone...finally a new picture...I think it shows me in my element fairly well. An obnoxious rambling in one hand, my They Might Be Giants hat, my favorite T-shirt (and if you can't read it all, it does say "I had sex with President Clinton, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"). Hope you like Here it is.

What's With the Title
I'm calling this place "Memoirs of A Show" because of the way Flash Forward was cancelled. From what I've heard in interviews from Jewel and from talking to Don Dickinson, they did the 26 episodes and then Disney was like OK, that's it. I feel that Flash really has no way, other than syndicated reruns maybe, to tell it's story, but in telling it's story however, it needs to be interpeted since it cannot speak on it's behalf, and the viewer may no be able to fully comprehend the characters and situations presented to him/her. I am using this site as my interpetation to the world of what I thought Flash Forward was in the hope that you, the visitor, can fully appreciate how great of a show it was, and how much of a mistake it was to cancel it. I doubt we can bring it back, but at least it can live on in memory.
