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?
For once I would love to see a network give us a chance. this is a great show and it seems to me that the networks nowadays spend all the money to free to show and cancel it do not give people a chance to actually get used to show like they used to
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Please, please please, don’t cancel it. It has everything. Murder, mystery, anxiety if he will ever confide his secret with anyone. A hot cop, a British intellect!! What more do you people want!?!? This is a home run and I will be very disappointed if it becomes cancelled. I don’t know why the 10 pm spot on Tuesday is failing but it’s not because this show is bad. At least give it two or 3 more seasons
My wife and I like the show. Do not cancel. TIA
This is one of my favorites. I hope that people taping on DVR is counted in the ratings. It’s unique and the storyline around his stalker is getting more intriguing by the minute. The characters all have a likeability, one that they seem to have known each other for a long time. Please don’t consider cancelling.
This show is smart and fresh. Maybe its the time slot. I really hope it is not cancelled!
Forever is terrific. Must see viewing for me. The cast is superlative! Ioan Gruffudd may have the trickiest name in show biz–but he is among the best actors on television today. The flashbacks are innovative with characters you care about. Please don’t cancel this show!
I LOVE Forever. LOST, Game of Thrones, and Forever are shows I’ve never missed. I can’t say that about any other series. Dr. Morgan is great, and Ioan Gruffudd is perfect. The history of the character as it relates to each case is fascinating. It’s reminiscent of the Highlander TV series, with a Sherlock Holmes-ian twist. They also don’t kill him off every week, as I was afraid they would. That would have gotten old quickly, and they did well to avoid overuse. His relationship with his son is also very cool. I would miss it tremendously.
Cancellation of Pushing Daisies was another huge ABC mistake – more the fault of viewers, I guess. If it’s not a crime procedural or lowbrow humor, it doesn’t stand a chance. Sad but true.
Speaking of which, can anyone produce a lowbrow crime procedural comedy script I’ve been writing? The first half of the show features Peter Sellers as a bumbling forensics expert, while the second half of the show takes place in a night court with Harry Anderson presiding.
love the show would hate to see it cancelled. Watch every week to see what happens and relive a little history along with a great story. Do Not Cancel Forever
great show why cancel something that makes your mind work & enjoyable quality show
I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL FOREVER! It is a great show and doesn’t get all confusing or boring or anything! It’s one of my favorite shows on right now.

I still say this is one of the best shows I have seen since Breaking Bad. Jeez- Please don’t cancel and thanks for ordering 9 more episodes!
