The Tuesdays at 10pm timeslot has been a big ratings problem for ABC for quite awhile. Show after show has been cancelled. Will their new Forever series change that trend? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner is Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd). He can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out how or why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Hasn’t failed yet. I get involved with a show that causes someone to use critical thinking skills – and poof – gets cancelled.
together, the actors and the writing make for a show that allows viewers to think along with
the plot love these people and hope to see many more episodes. The show beats all
inane comedies.
Great show! This show has excellent cast, chemistry, and story lines. Look for a better time slot before giving up on the show.
This is a good show. I hope the network will keep it going for at least another two or three years.
Love the show – why isn’t it on DVD yet?
I live this show. I look forward to watching. Better than all the reality junk.
Love this show. Seems to be very slim pickings for new T.V shows, but this one is great! Always anxious to see the next one!
I love this show. And I know more people that would like it as well. However, I’m afraid to get them to watch it with all of the talk of possible cancelation. If the network would give it a true shot and renew it early, I’m sure more people would latch on to this gem. Who wants to start watching a show that people are saying will get canceled.
I too enjoy the show. Please keep it on the air.
Love this series, great concept. Cant wait to see each episode.
Hoping that this series will continue.
Getting sick and tired of all the good shows being axed and the crap shows stay on.
Finally, a twist on immortality that does not involve mindless carnivorous zombies! Kudos to ABC for taking a risk on such a mix of genres and the nearly supernatural. The cast is superb and have melded immediately, especially that of Henry and his son Abe. Delightful chemistry! Very believable. Please keep this excellent show on! It deserves a second season!
I really enjoy this show. Entertaining with some deeper insight. I am tired of the old premises on television and this provides a new outlook. Please renew this program.
Forever is an outstanding show. I enjoy watching it and if I accidentally miss an episode I make sure to find it on the “on demand” channel. My daughter, Morgan, watches it with me and loves hearing Dr. Morgan’s explanations. I certainly hope this show continues. I agree with a previous comment the chemistry between the actors is great and it is a quality show.
Forever is one of the best shows I have seen in quite awhile. I record ever show & save them after watching them. Why do I record them? I hate commercials & never watch them if possible. Thank You Dr. Henry Morgan!!! Your Awesome.
This is one of the best network TV series in the last 15 years. The cast had excellent chemistry and the writing is superb. If it was on cable it would received multiple Golden Globe Nominations. This is must see TV and cannot be cancelled.
