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?
Ok I have commented many times and will continue to do so until I see forever back on the air it is a great show that deserves to be put back on I have quit watching network TV because I belive so strongly that forever should be put back on the air I have been through many TV shows over the years only to have them cancelled then the network will put some crap on in its place only to cancel it within the first two weeks so to the networks I say don’t be stupid put forever back on… Read more »
I love the show.
Bring back Forever and give it a proper ending.
Give the fans closure.
We continue to press for Forever because shows do come back after several months. Most recently, Ripper Street on BBC and Longmire, now on Netflix. As long as there is interest from us, there’s a chance.
So one of the cast has moved on so what is there a rule that says they can’t do double duty if yet want I think not put it back on I love this show it should never been canceled in the first place it is way to good a show to be canceled I will never give up until it’s back on I’ll keep writing to put it back on
RIGHT ON, WE NEED IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this show as well but why bother any longer to push this? Alana de la GarzaIn that co-starred as police detective Jo Martinez on Forever now has a recurring role as the new head of Homeland Security on he weekly show Scorpion. They have moved on-
Totally disgusted with decision to cancel show , never even gave it a chance. I’m sure they will find some reality series that doesn’t come close to the historical references, witty humor and intelligence that Henry had. His character had it all and it’s a shame ABC didn’t have the insight to see it
You are so right, ABC truly lost one that no one else had anything like it.
I too am disgusted.

Hard to believe you cancel a great show….lo
Bring it back!!!! This is such a great and loved show. Bring it BACK!!!
I think this is the best show in years.. Keep it going..
4.9 million people watching a show isn’t enough to keep it on? Are you for real?
I will be viewing other media, I am sick of the way these companies do not cafe!
Ok I guess the network is unable to see that at least five million peopeople including myself want forever put back on the air so I’m sure the will put some kind of trash on o instead of forever and it will get canceled within the first two weeks if it were me I would put forever back on just to shut us up but I will call net FLIX and bug them to pick it up and as far as the network goes I have had it I’m tired of getting into a show only to have it cancelled… Read more »
Here is the number to Netflix. Call them I’ve been calling often and they will put it into their feedback. Who knows what will happen. ( 1-888-638-3549 ) I’ve emailed NBC and everyone I could think of.
I guess 5 million doesn’t count. CALL NETFliX 888-579-7172 Request they pick it up.
As I have said many times bring back forever so many network shows SUCK and you and your infinite wisdom choose to take one of the best shows on television off the ai and leave the crappie shows on thus in my opinion and others have the same opinion that it was entirely b stupid to cancel FOREVER BRING IT BACK
This is was a great show with a lot of information. I am sad to see it go. I wish whoever made the decision of not showing this show realizes that a show doesn’t have to be about sex or violent to be popular. You are seating on a decision making seat, you can teach people what is good for them by keeping good shows on the air. Instead of following what people want all the time. 5mil viewers don’t count?
