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?
I think this show has an amazing script, well acted, and definitely brings some warmth and emotion to the characters. Its got a great recipe and I believe this show will do well. My only concerns are the ratings, ratings are a terrible judge of a shows character especially in the first season. I’ve known many shows that have dismal ratings to start but people usually don’t pick up tv shows until they are in their second or third season. Probably due to the fact that people think “Something good must be going on with the show to last that… Read more »
Do Not Cancel Forever. It is possibly the best show out there today. It has the best plot and amazing cast. This show has done an amazing job at getting my attention and keeping it week after week. Please do not remove it from the lineup.
Totally agree!
Do not cancel! Fantastic show. It’s my favorite!
Please, please do not cancel Forever. It is a wonderful show that makes you feel good after watching it – and you can watch it with the whole family! Please don’t cancel!!!!!!!
I love this show. It’s unique and that hard to find on TV these days. I hope CBS will give it a fair shot and renew it for season 2. I’m sick of reality shows and adult cartoons like The Simpsons.
This is the first prime time show I have watched religiously in over 10 years. I truly hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I also was hooked from the first episode. I love the characters! They can be serious when it’s called for and also have a fun sense of humor. I hope TV execs realize what a great show they have and renew for a second season.
I love this show and hope it is renewed at a better time slot. It is my favorite show. I DVR it and hope this does not influence ratings as many people dvr late night shows. Every season my favorites are cancelled. Its been getting very frustrating.
I love this show, it is different, it is not another cookie cutter CSI or NCIS, gory police show.{and I like those shows} The charactors could really keep growing, and the story too!
How do networks score the viewing of their shows nowadays, given that it is very common to record shows to be viewed later as well as other venues to binge-watch to catch up on the multitude of shows available? The honchos at networks are so quick to cancel because of questionable ratings (which HAVE to be flawed with all the off-schedule access that viewers use), and I worry that *Forever* will be dropped while schlock is renewed. This is a show worth getting into; the characters have more dimension than some stuff that keeps getting put on the air. I… Read more »
This is my favorite show!!! It has to be renewed indefinitely.
Great show!
Forever is my favorite show!! I knew I would love it after seeing the previews before season 1 started!! There couldn’t be a more perfect cast playing the characters in this show. The only thing I’m not happy with regarding Forever is that it’s only a 1-hour show each week. The Tuesday night Forever hour is the fastest hour of the entire week.
Please renew Forever for… forever!!
I was hooked after the first episode. I really hope Forever gets a second season.
This show must be renewed. i started seeing with some friends,the first episode just hooks anyone and it gets better as the show goes on. ive seen a lot of tv series and this is one of the best
Forever is my favorite TV show! I’ve had few favorites over the years and Forever surpassed Big Bang Theory since Forever’s first episode. I not only find his clever deductions interesting, but I also enjoy Henry Morgan’s occupation (ME) and what he considers an affliction, coming back to life. If I tire of anything it will be of Adam. I could easily see writers who are stumped for material constantly returning to this other forever man. I quit watching the Mentalist simply because of Red John and I would be compelled to stop watching Forever if Adam becomes an ongoing… Read more »
