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.
5/8 update: ABC has cancelled Forever after one season. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million total viewers.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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?
I loved this show! I don’t understand why shows like this one are cancelled. Yet some of the trashy stuff gets renewed.
Is ABC crazy cancelling FOREVER – one of the better shows on the network??. Another stupid, trashy reality show coming on???? Watched this show every week – enjoyed it so much. I may discontinue watching ABC all together. What other surprises do they have in store for us????? ABC shows are off my list to watch……..
It’s sad to see what is going on in the world,WHY I ask, can’t you give us a wonderful show and give all the Loyal Fans of FOREVER something to watch and enjoy,and give our minds at least an hour to not think of all the wrong that’s going on in the world???? You can’t even do that? I love the show FOREVER,BRING IT BACK and Give it another season or two,put it in a DECENT TIME SLOT,and start ADVERTISING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so wrong to think it won’t work,All these posts should tell you something,GIVE IT ANOTHER SEASON OR… Read more »
i think the base of story is pretty amazing and certanly it has to continue…
please continue it . at least give it a good end
Are the people making programming crazy !!! Forever is by far one of the best shows on this or any other network. To not give it a chance to build a following would be stupid. Some of the best shows ever took a season or two to grow. Everyone I know loves the show and I for one will not watch your network any longer if you remove it !!! By the way, networks are all wrong on demographics. Young people do not watch television any more .They go out partying and do not watch anything but sports and stupid… Read more »
CALL NETFLIX 866-579-7172 TELL THEM TO LOOK INTO GETTING THIS SHOW.
Forever would have had great ratings if it were played at a decent time. Canceling is NOT the answer. Forever is Awesome. I watched every show. Now if you want your ratings to go up maybe you should play it smart and play it at a reasonable time that fits most people. 10 pm slot was setting this awesome show up for failure.
I am so sick of all the reality shows,robot shows,diasour shows and sex show!!!! I’t rediculous!!!!!!Why can’t you put back a good family show,like FOREVER!!!!????? But then again apparently you really don’t give a damn about what I think,or any of the FOREVER FANS THINK,Do YOU??? BRING BACK FOREVER IT’s really worth you while. Can’t you see that this is really important to us all??
A good show I watch it every week so does my sister.we do not want it cancelled it is a real different show that is what makes it so good to watch.you should give it another chance. You know we need shows besides all the reality. shows that are taking over. Zour tv.tired of them a,few ok but not needed we live our lives we already know what it about contended to see it I, front of our eyes every night on tv.
I cannot believe that after only one season that a great show has been cancelled! Please bring it back and give it a fair shot 1 season doesn’t proclaim how good a show is. I was looking to this fall when season 2 of Forever would come back on the air only to now be disappointed to hear it has been cancelled! I hope that perhaps another network will pick up this wonderful show that has everything in it drama, suspense, humor and a great cast with wonderful chemistry.
I also hope another network picks up this show. It was never properly advertised or hyped. I came upon the first show by accident. My whole family loves it!
I personally get tired of watching a really good show like Forever,No Ordinary Family, The New V,etc.,etc., only to have it cancelled on us after only 1 season. Give the shows a chance. Please bring Forever back, this show had it all, humor, drama, suspense, and mystery. I can’t speak for other people,,but I’m to the point, whenever I see an advertisement or a commercial for a new show,,,,I don’t want to even look at it because I’m afraid to watch it and get hooked on it , only to turn around to see it be cancelled, I’m sure I’m… Read more »
I’m sure like a lot of other people, we get tried of watching a really good show like Forever only to have it cancelled on us after only 1 season. Give the shows a chance. Please bring Forever back, this show had it all, humor, drama, suspense, and mystery.
Bring back forever I look forward to watch it every week. Every time a good show comes on the end up canceling it.
Poor decision to cancel: Forever kept both myself & spouse coming back each week to watch in anticpation of what may happen next….a great story line & acting.
Renew
So besides venting our frustration about the networks stupidity, is there actually someone who can change the present outcome? Is there an address we can connect to a person to speak to?
People have been suggesting we contact Netflix who have expressed an interest in having the series. Netflix # Netfix number: 1-866-579-7172

Yes, please call Netflix @ 866-579-7172.
What?!!! I didn’t even learn Forever was canceled till last night!!!! I was fully expecting it to come back on! I was SOOOO excited to see what happens next! I LOVE THIS SHOW!! What is wrong with these people?!! I’m almost as angry as when Dracula was canceled (but 2 total different kind of shows) I HATE when they cancel a show after just 1 season. They don’t even give it a real chance! This was such an amazing show! So interesting and creative, and the actors played such great characters! I’m NOT happy about this…BRING IT BACK! PLEASE!!!
I know I am late with my comment but I think I am still in denial that this TV series has been cancelled. I was totally addicted and could not wait for each episode! It has the right amount of everything which is why it worked. What a mistake to cancel it when there are so many other rubbish shows still on air. Please bring it back!
The things I love about Forever are that it is different than anything out there. The characters are all well rounded with far more depth than most television shows. The story itself is very unusual and allows for growth in many different directions. This show is far more interesting than your usual mystery/ detective show. This is one of the few television shows I ever really watched all of the time.
Patricia my advice is to call Netflix 866-579-7172. I did he was very nice. Told me
to tell everyone to call. Hope this helps.
Aye, call Netflix. He told me the more people call the more Netflix would be interested. Thank you for taking interest in this wonderful show!
