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?
please. renewed the show….. i love this show……
Renew.
It is a good solid thesis for a show. Some shows never slow the pace for character development…This is development plus. I don’t always watch the live broadcasts, but love to let them pile up and watch one after another…
Please renew! Love it!!! The topic, the relationships, the mystery of his existence, and so much more!
i love the good doctor,s accent, the New York scene and the history. Who plays Abigail? So many interesting history twist. Please, please do not cancel Forever, it really gets me thinking.
Mackenzie Mauzy plays Abigail, the show is very interesting and enjoy it too. Definitely renew this program!
Really enjoy the show and hope it gets renewed. However, have the main character be a bit less dramatic, his acting in this role is too soap opera esk. I know he can be a great actor, but things need to be taken down a notch with his role. Other than that, love the show and hope it can continue!!!!
Renew! I love this show! Charming, not too gruesome, good actors, it’s something different
Give Forever a second season to develope. Too often interesting formulas get canceled just to be replaced by another series that suffers the same fate. This quirky show is a favorite in our house.
I’ll be honest. I loved the show when it first started. The idea behind the show was great, their selection of cast members couldn’t be better. But, I have to admit… the show is getting stale, really fast. Every week the rut grows deeper and deeper – there’s a murder, Doctor Knows-It-Because-He-Experienced-It helps the police solve the mystery, leaving everybody amazed at his vast knowledge of all things… and we are absolutely no closer to finding out anything more to the more important, over arching plot line. Specifically, the origin of his immortal coil, so to speak. Every week, we… Read more »
Renew please!
I’d missed a few episodes. Worked late, too tired to stay up to watch. I’d forgotten how charming the show is.
They’ve shown us his stalker; they’ve introduced a possible way for Henry to die via the pistol. They have a love interest for his partner (and CG Jr. has matured well). His character has relieved Henry’s guilt.
Seems like a tying up of loose ends. Hate to say it. Except I sense Henry will see his wife again.
Renew. The acting is great. Love the story line. Love the different relationships and interaction of the characters.
PLEASE RENEW!!!!!
Please Renew!
Renew Forever, great show, different and interesting premise, great cast. Well done!
Forever is a fantastic program. Good place behind agents of shield. The acting is superb, the storyline is fantastic and the The program should be renewed.
The network is doing what networks do best — keeping quiet. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a network “level” with the viewers about the cancellation (or potential cancellation) of a show. They leave it to the websites that predict the various programs’ chances for renewal … so, with just those predictions and the inevitable pleas from invested fans to “please don’t cancel this show,” we wind up knowing nothing, until the program simply stops being shown. One factor that is making this case even more confusing is the upcoming appearance of Cuba Gooding, Jr. Why would he be… Read more »
