It looks like the 2009-10 season is going to be the year of the changing showrunner.

"FlashForward," which had already switched showrunners from Marc Guggenheim to David Goyer last October, is changing again. This time with Goyer -- known for his work in the revived Batman movie franchise -- stepping down, and no replacement yet announced.

Goyer said he wants to focus more on movies, and the daily grind of running a show has been interfering with it. But "FlashForward" has run into a number of problems since its launch on ABC last fall, including ratings that fell from a 7.7 rating/13 share in the overnights from its premiere Sept. 24, to a 4.6/7 for its most recent episode Dec. 3.

ABC said Guggenheim, the co-creator of Eli Stone, had always been meant to be a temporary showrunner, someone experienced in the television medium that could show Goyer -- who has focused mostly on movies in the past -- the ropes to doing the job. The switchover was made in October, but sources tell Airlock Alpha some at ABC have not been happy with the results.
