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.

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?
we absolutely love this show please do not cancel it.
love it . Don’t cancel
Excellent show. It may be the time slot causing some people to back away- it ending at 11 is just too late for many people
This is the best new show on TV this fall. I really hope that it is not cancelled. I am emotionally invested already. The show has depth, an unique concept and superb acting on the part of Ioan Gruffudd. His character is right up there with the iconic “House MD”.
Forever is on par with the incredible romance of Outlander. I like Ioan Gruffudd very much and was intrigued by the “sci fi” premise. What I didn’t expect was a show of pay cable (and FX) quality. The pilot was not exceptional, but the first episode showed a depth and wonder I don’t expect from the networks. The third show, with flashbacks to his wife and the old woman as a young woman was one of the best of the networks. I love romance. But I am a fussy romantic. I want to see true love and an unbreakable connection… Read more »
I couldn’t agree more, It’s really filled a niche in the “CSI” mass productions. I love this show as the characters are developing great depth. I’m also impressed that they don’t have the doc die every week, that would get old quickly. Besides, it will make it a little of a surprise when he does get killed and return as the plot requires. I have great hope and expectations for this program and it’s outstanding cast.
I find it interesting that you didn’t post my critical review. Then this web site is bogus. It’s worthless and not reliable. What good is it if you don’t post respectable posts that aren’t necessarily good and don’t use fowl language. Worthless!

Show is quite mediocre. Not much of a storyline on any of the shows so far. Very “plain Jane.” Scripts are quite subpar. This show may not have any staying power. It lacks intrigue.
Wow, you are so off base about this show, Richard Lacy. It is NOT mediocre at all, and the story line is great. This show has great intrigue and should be renewed.
I have to agree with Lin this is a great show with intriguing characterizations. I really hope they give it some time to prove itself.
My husband and I love this show. Hopefully more people will watch. Would hate for it to get cancelled.
This is a great show and I am really enjoying it. Hopefully it will not be cancelled. This show is a keeper. Give it a chance.
We really enjoy this show. It is charming and original.
I love this show! It’s got a very interesting plot, and I really hope it doesn’t get canceled!
A nose dive from a 1.8 to 1.3 and a loss of 20% of the total audience in one week is not a good omen. If the show doesn’t stabilize, this show won’t be on very long.
Forever is a terrific show!
I love this show. I also live the main character. He was also great in Ringer.
Forver is Great – CLEVER concept, fine acting, great scripts so far
Great show and a super cast!!!!! A KEEPER!
