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?
Let the show go on FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!
I love this show! If there is anything that can be done to save it, PLEASE do it!!! I love Dr. Henry Morgan. The show is well written and it is definitely different from the other shows on this season. I would love to see the show continue.
I love this show also. It’s different and enticing. All of the characters are strong, especially Dr Morgan. Please don’t cancel. The stations put the best shows on at the same time and it’s not fair to show’s ratings.?Give it another chance. It’s great!
There is one small hope. it’s seems the only reason Forever got a full season order is that ABC took into account online viewing figures and sales so maybe if those are high enough it will stay on the air. It’s a long shot but a situation just like this kept Fringe on the air for five years. That is why despite the fact that I have no highspeed and can’t use the files I have been buying each weeks episode on Amazon Video to support this show. The writers are people I am a big fan of since their… Read more »
I really wish this show wasn’t about to be canceled or it would be moved to CW or a cable Network where it’s ratings would be better. I am a big fan of the lead actor and I think the series is good. The writing team is one of my favorites working on Tv today but they seem to have trouble get more then four million viewers or so for any show they are working on. I really wish their stuff would move to cable or amazon or netflix where the four million viewers would be enough to keep it… Read more »
I really hope they don’t cancel this show. It’s unique, got a really good premise, the story writing is fantastic and you have the best of everything in one show – cop, medical examiner and supernatural. I wonder what the stats would look like for downloading, VoD and recording would be?! Shame they don’t look at those stats more closely.
I love this show!! I’ve watched since the beginning–never miss an episode!
Like it a lot. Keep it on please.
I love this show. If I didn’t have kids, I would be in front of the TV when it airs but as it is, I have to wait and watch the recording. It has such a good story and a unique way of telling things. I love all the twists of Henry’s experiences. I really hope they don’t cancel it. 🙁
Love the show, do not cancel it! Best show to watch on t.v.!
I love Forever……please don’t cancel!!!!!
Such a thoughtful genius show. Would hate to see it go.
I also enjoy the show a lot. I would be very sad to see it cancelled after only one season. I really hope the show is renewed for a full second season.
It’ s great show! Really! Do not cancel it!
I love the show and the way it is written. I almost always watch it on demand later in the week since I’m putting children to bed when it is played. I have introduced the show to my 19, 13 and 11 year old boys, who also all love it and join me in watching it every time I pop in on off the TW Demand channel. I know i t has low ratings, but when I discussed the low ratings with my 19 yr. old son, he stated that he watches it through a computer software program that many… Read more »
I agree, many people who are aware of the series but dont have access to them, watch it online or download the episodes
I love the connection between Abe and Henry. It’s intriguing to watch the father-son relationship with the age flip. This is the only show I look forward to. It is so interesting to see modern life through the context of Henry’s history.
My husband and I agree this is our favorite new tv show. It’s got good writing, good acting, and is a lot of fun. We hope it will be around for a long time.
