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?
To the network I say please listen to over five milo on people and put forever back on the air it was,a huge mistake to cancel it there is so much trash on TV yet you cancel one of the best show on TV it makes no sense whatsoever lease put forever back on in a good time slot
Forever is the best….why is it networks will back stupid childish reality shows. Yet a great show like Forever is gone?
Bring it back!!!!!
I’m back again people to let everyone know I have quit watching network TV until they put forever back on the air and out it in a different time slot and give it a chance better than Five million people are asking the network or net FLIX or someone to put it back on o know the network does not care about what we think nut I’m hoping they will listen to us and put it back pm right noe
I am with you, give “Forever” the chance it deserves!
I do agree as well. I also say that the Nielsen ratings are totally unfair because the don’t count anyone over the age of 49. I would say if they did then Forever would have been the number 1 new show of the season for ABC.
I have quit watching network TV until they ey put forever back on the air it baffled me why the network would cancel such a great show I just don’t understand please put it back on the air right now
Please keep Forever on the air……I am upset enough that Battle Creek was cancelled…so whenI I go scrolling for shows, guess what is on? Love Boat, Bewitched, etc…..who makes these stupid blunders? Oh, the guys who make big bucks……sheesh.
I’m back again people to say they should never ever ever have cancelled a great show like forever the story lines were excellent. the cast was one of the best on TV if not the bedt in one short season. this show captivated me it truly was one of the best on TV and cancelled it because of ratings come on it was in a bad time slot so gain I say I have quit watching network TV altogether because they cancel great shows like forever and replace them with silly trash that should not be on TV so please… Read more »
DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW !!! I find this show to be very entertaining and very well done. I love the story- how it goes back in the past & brought back to present. I love all the characters & how well they work together. I can’t wait to watch the next show. It makes me sad how intelligent shows like this disappear while STUPID sitcom shows like Two Broke Girls continue to stay on the air.
They don’t care.
We are trying to show them that over five million people care and want thus show back on the air please join us
It’s me again I’m writing as much as I can to get forever out back on the air it really needs to be in production right now if not sooner there is so much TRASH on TV that gets cancelled after a couple weeks it makes no sense to cancel a quality show like forever I have stopped watching network TV until they put forever back on and I’ll keep writing on this site until they do so many people want this show back on why does the network not see that
October 10, 2015, I just found out today that the best drama show on the air has been canceled after just one season!!! There is so much GARBAGE on television!!! Why cancel a show that after just one season in my mind is destined to become a classic!!! I have been watching shows of this category ( science fiction, immortality, since watching the Immortal, with Christoper George, Forever Knight, Highlander trilogy, and the whole series with Adrian Paul, the list goes on and on!!! Forever, is one of the only show with SUBSTANCE; the acting is superb, Henry is every… Read more »
I support every single thing you said! Finally, ABC manages to come up with a family friendly, quality show, stupidly stick it in a bad time slot & then declare it a failure – poof, it’s gone! Unbelievable! And that scene you mentioned between Lucas and Henry – I went to YouTube just to watch it over & over… it was so moving (and yes, it brought womanly tears here, in my opinion… very indicative of what this show still has to offer.
It’s me again folks please please please out forever back on the air immediately if not sooner I can’t believe you would cancel a great show like this only to put on some crap that will be canceled in the first two weeks so I wonder why the network does stupid things like this TV has come a long way and ratings testing needs to be changed you at the network will pull shows off people like and put crap on I’ll never understand please put forever back on immediately
I am very disappointed in the cancellation of Forever. The acting was excellent and it had a variety of interest levels in the plots. There are some of us that enjoy a complex theme that isn’t centered on some form of sexual affair or other and the intrigue that surrounds it. There are plenty of those to go around! Forever is the type of show that is unique and interesting and will be soooo missed if you don’t bring it back. Please think of people not just numbers!!!
Oh and one more thing put forever back on for two or three years then when it is its time to go give us closure do not I repeat do not leave us hanging if the networks were smart and wanted to make people happy then they would put this show back in production immediately if not sooner I could give a crap less about the Nielson ratings that is an old system that needs to be reworked over five million people are telling the network to put forever back on hiw can they ignore us I don’t understand I… Read more »
