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.

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?
We just watched the season finale last night, and my husband says, the didn’t cancel this show did they? I replied, they probably did because we like it so much! What is wrong with you people? You do know people over 50 are now your target audience and you are blowing it?!? I am sick of all these young shows – give us back our classic televison actors, e.g., Judd Hirsch!
what if Hulu or netflix picks up season 2 on Ferever that will Be Cool and I would like to catch up with forever and Forever is awesome and I would Like To See forever have a christmas special that would be cool.
With Forever, ABC had hope to regain their momentum as a force in intelligent shows. By cancelling it, ABC has joined the sludge at the bottom of the entertainment pool.
We can all thank the drones of folk out there who only want brainless laughs and ‘reality’ tv featuring people behaving, and dressing, badly in a manner we’d never want to see our own family members behaving.
Back to Netflix.
I looked forward “Forever” every week. I liked the story plot, it is different than so many shows & I liked the actors. I think it is a mistake to cancel this program!!!
why did u take forever off I really liked this show and waiting to see what happens net.
I LOVED THIS SHOW. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS THAT I RECORD.
JUST BECAUSE IT WAS EXCITING AND ENTERTAINING AND NOT A REALITY SHOW IS WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE CANCELED
ALL THE ACTORS ARE EXCELLENT
Forever was my favorite new show in 2014-2015. It was one of the few show I liked on ABC. I guess it back to NBc
Forever Will Not be Seen This Fall So Instead We MAy Bring You The Muppets and Pretty LAdies In thier Swimuits and Bikinis and float trips and More Nudity and Pornagraphy On Televison and Beer Drinking and Jello Shots.
Replacing Forever with The Muppets? You have GOT to be kidding me!
Not really the Muppets(They will be on at 8:00p.m.). No, ABC originally was going to replace Forever with something called Quantico. That show seems to have created enough excitement that it has already been demoted to Sundays at 10:00. The current schedule calls for another reality show, After the Tank. I don’t watch Shark Tank to begin with, so I have no inclination to watch this at all.
Aaaahhh! Well, nevertheless, I’m with you. I don’t watch any reality shows so I’m certainly not going to watch ‘After the Tank’. In fact, there’s nothing on ABC now that I intend to watch.
This is the best show on television! Just because it doesn’t have sex sex sex and smart ass men and women doing things either stupid or dangerous, doesn’t mean it’s right. We need shows like Forever. It’s smart fun and not offensive!!!! Love this show and all of the actors in it. BRING it BACK!!!
Absolutely the best Show I have seen in Years. Our entire family enjoy them–PLS PLS DO CONTINUE THE SHOWS
Idiots how did you ever get your job, if you don’t give it a chance you’ll never get a true following if you don’t at least change the time slot or try some other things you’ll never know how good the show really is, smart, different and especially not the same song and dance routine. Get it together brainiacks, it’s not the first time you have done this.
Don’t cancel Forever! The plot and the characters are so interesting that I have been waiting to find out what happens next!! I’m really disappointed.
ABC will probably be replaced with ” Miss Piggy and Kermitt ” They must think we are all NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABC will be Forever having bad ratings, they never keep a show long enough to build a following. Forever only had 5 million US viewers, but they cancelled before even showing in other markets, big mistake. It’s the top show in spain Wednesday night’s and had six million French viewers, nearly breaking top five for French viewers. Over and over again has won awards of being the most missed show this year.
