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?
This is a wonderful show! My mom and I watch it every week. There is such garbage on TV these days and this show has something special. I knew the BIG BANG Theory was a hit from the day I watched it and I know this show is too…Sometimes it takes time to catch on but make no mistake about it, this is a keeper! If you ever want to compete with a show like BBT you better keep shows like this on!
I will stop waching ABC craps if they do cancel this……why they start something without finishing
This is one show in the last few years that I really like. Every character seems to add something to the story that I like or find interesting. Even the bad guy. Unfortunately the I only watch it “On Demand” since I am usually in bed by 10PM. I hope ABC or some other network gives it a another season to catch on with more viewers
Unlike most TV shows now days, Forever actually teaches people beautiful life lessons that we don’t always get or we forget in our busy lives. I think Forever should go on as long as possible, and just maybe everyone might learn something.
I love this show and wish it to be renewed for many more years to come. I remember the old methods in medicine and find it refreshing to have my memory jogged when the past events are compared with present. I just love all the caracters and how they relate to each other past and present. I also love trying to solve the crimes and all the mysteries involved.
l hope you don’t cancel this show.l am sick of watching series and getting involved to find they are left in the air for people to guess what happens
Love this show ALOT..!!! I dont have cable but I watch It on hulu and online because hulu skips episodes for some reason..please please renew for a second season. This is one of my faves!!!!!
I have found that shows like “Forever” as well as a show like “Awake” seem to get cancelled. Both types of shows require the watcher to be cerebral and to “Keep up” with a storyline. This is something that apparently within the networks demographics, cannot be done. And because of this, these wonderful shows will never last (Awake was cancelled after one season), unfortunately. This is truly a wonderful show that combines a background of historic proportion while combining it with a “Quincy-esque” spirit. As a retired NYPD police officer I find the entertainment just that, entertaining. Around 100 years… Read more »
I have yet to find a show in my 26 years I enjoy more than Forever. It is a show that is both intrigung and compelling at the same time in every episode that I have seen. The morals, ethics, relationships, principles, friendships, history and heart warming moments are truly exceptional and such a rarity in TV shows today. My mother and I look forward to every episode that comes out and are riveted every time-which is truly something for 15 episodes. It would be such a shame if the show wasnt renewed for a full second season, compared to… Read more »
I sincerely hope this series is renewed for another season. In all my years (currently 26) I have yet to find a series I enjoy more than Forever….the storyline, the relationships morals, ethics, learning history, all culminate together to form an intriguing and riveting show. It has now become a favourite show of my mother’s as well and we both always look forward to the next episode as each episode is gripping in its own way. It would be a shame to lose a series like this in comparisan to other shows that are continuously renewed and nowhere near as… Read more »
My mom and I have watched every episode but are really frustrated by the nonconsistent times. We would love to watch it every week or at least 3 weeks at a time instead of LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND HAVING TO BE DISSAPOINTED AND CONFUSED ABOUT WHEN THE NEXT EPISODE IS ON. GET YOUR SCHELDULE TOGETHER AND THEY WOULDN’T HAVE LOST VIEWERS. Love this show. xD
Yeah that is the thing ABC wonders why it’s rating for everything that isn’t Dancing with the Stars, the Bachlor, or Modern Family are in the toilet it’s because shows are not given a chance to find viewers before for they go to breaks of a month or more. if you are only going to air three or four episodes in a row before going to break then you need to do what the BBC does and promote those episodes like crazy and treat their airings like a major event that can’t be missed. I am a huge fan of… Read more »

I love forever Please don’t cancel it.
