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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 show is SO amazing!!! It is the best American detective show produced in the last two decades. Do NOT cancel it, please! 🙂

Best show on TV!!!
This show is awesome!! you all should really keep it!
Please keep this show, it’s the best show out there!!!
This is such a classy show. The acting is excellent–the characters completely likable. The scenes from the past as they relate to the present are so interesting. Love Judd Hirsch’s character and interaction with Henry. This is a completely satisfying show that honors good character and integrity. If the current time slot has been bad for other shows, give this show another chance in a better time slot. Shows like this used to do very well–they can again if given a chance.
I really hope they keep this show, it is fun and quirky. I enjoy the cast interaction and the writing is well done. Do all shows on TV have to be about Shock and Awe? Please keep this one.
Such a great show!!! I catch it on demand, PLEASE keep it on!!!!!
Please keep Forever running. Great cast of characters with so many more story lines to complete and extend. Easily my favourite new drama series on T.V. They deserve a second season.

Save this amazing show! Please go to abc.com click contact us and send them a message about how great this show is. It needs another year and a better time slot. I enjoy finally a great tv show without showing sec and violence as a means to sell the show.
We LOVE forever and sincerely hope it is renewed.
Perhaps the best show on TV this year. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode thus far. It is a show that combines the present with the past so enjoyably, please renew.
Crossing my fingers that ABC hangs in there with “Forever.” This is such a good show…One of the few on network TV that is worth watching. It is well written, well cast, and very entertaining. Ioan Gruffudd is really wonderful and the supporting cast is great as well, especially Judd Hirsch. “Forever” deserves a second season…I really hope it gets it.
Please renew this! I absolutely love this show and I’m not one for TV! I actually give it my full attention and can’t get enough of the characters! I’m so sick of mind-numbing material being thrown on repeat. If vampire crap can be around for 7 seasons why not something that keeps you on the edge of your seat and dying for answers? If there’s any hope for TV please let this be in the 2015-16 season!
ABC…NOW HEAR THIS ! In case you’ve missed our zillion emails and snail mails and petition signatures and Tweets and F/B entries and blogs, (gasping for air), PLEASE start paying attention to them! Your “FOREVER” series creator, Matt Miller, and all of your wonderful actors and crew, deserve your attention and respect for the spectacular episodes they are creating, week after week. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND REWARD THEIR FABULOUS TALENTS BY RENEWING THE “FOREVER” SERIES FOR A SECOND SEASON AND BEYOND !
Thank you for listening.
This show is amazing I love the plot to it. I also love it when he dies and always comes back to life naked and in the water. Imagine explaining that to an officer ” officer there is perfectly logical explanation I wanted to go for a midnight swim”. But anyway this show is #1 in my book next to CSI I absolutely love it and I can’t get enough. PLEASE RENEW!!!!!!!
PLEASE keep FOREVER on television for SEASON 2 and beyond!!! This is our new FAVORITE Show. If you take it off the air we might just die!!!!! We need FOREVER to say on the air. We love Henry, Abe, Jo, Hanson, and the entire cast! They are the best cast in YEARS and have the most intriguing story lines. It is intelligently written with humor, love, compelling stories and sub stories and we love Ioan Gruffudd. He is ENDEARING PERFECTION as Henry Morgan and Judd Hirsch is inspiring and lovable as Abe! Please keep this show on the air or… Read more »
Well, HenryMorganSmiles, you’ve got ME smiling this morning after reading your wonderful message. I heartily agree with everything you said. Have you sent this to ABC ? You should write it out and send by snail mail to the studio. I’m told they pay more attention to ‘real’ mail than to our emails. Are you a member of ‘Forever (ABC) fan page’ on F/B ? If not, you are most welcome to join us. There’s also the ‘Official Ioan Gruffudd Group’. We fans are all very active on both of these groups in our efforts to support the “FOREVER” series… Read more »
