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?
This show is great. Great acting and writers. Don’t cancel this show!!!
My Husband n I really enjoy Forever. I will be so very disappointed if it doesn’t continue on for a second season. Please keep it going!!!
Has anybody involved in renewing this series bothered to notice that the score at IMDb happens to be 83/100? This is a good series, well written, well casted, and minus the schlock that is rampant on network series. If scheduling powers that be might look at other sources than what they’re claiming to be so pitiful, perhaps they’d realize that they actually DO have a winner here and get the second season under way!
we really enjoy Forever. The characters are complex and storyline is always intriguing. Judd Hirsch is wonderful as a “younger” son!
I absolutely love this show so much. I don’t normaly stay up to 11:00 pm for any show but I do just for forever.
Forever is they type of intelligent and high quality show that is missing from the majority of television content. It is well conceived, well written and has excellent production values. Bottom line, my family and I truly enjoy the show and hope that it will be renewed.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for Forever to be renewed but if not, I hope they end the series by answering lots of questions and Henry telling Jo before they go… 🙂
Alana de la Garza is so hot I would walk on glass to see her smile. Therefore Forever must stay in the air.
I love this show and the originality of it. I get so sick of shows that get cancelled before they have a chance to develop.
Definitely keep Forever! One of the best shows on the network. Also keep Agent Carter.
RIGHT?! Two of the best shows i’ve come across in a while, and both are in danger of cancellation… How ridiculous is this?
I really LOVE FOREVER and look forward to it all week. I don’t watch much TV on regular channels but I always watch FOREVER as does my husband. We are not in your 18- ? demographic but I bet we have a much higher income. My husband is PhD. and I have a degree as well and we really appreciate the more original stories and the combination of Ioan and Judd works and their interaction is fun and they are interesting to watch. I personally like the backstories for both characters. I think the fact that the series is shot… Read more »
It is a well written, intelligent show. It really keeps me interested. I hope it gets renewed!
We love Forever! The story lines are incredible and the acting is so realistic. I especially love how the secondary characters (Lucas, Abe, and Hanson) are developing. And why is it always the 18-49 demographic that determines what stays or goes? Mostly they watch junk! KEEP FOREVER!!! There are so few good shows left to watch….
I am smack-dab in the middle of the 18-49 age bracket (a very large bracket if you ask me), and I love this show. I do not watch junk, and my husband does not watch junk. I like shows that has intellect and some depth to it. You will not find me watching shows like Once Upon a Time or your typical detective show (how many times can they make a show about CSI?
We love this show. Really need to keep it.
Tv is changing. Cable channels are drawing more viewers away but the networks are not adjusting their projections. Forever was not going to keep 8 mil viewers but 4 mil is a great number for a 6 year series. Forever has the potential to really be a steady story line with original scenarios. I doubt these tv execs have any idea what they’re doing. It is all a crap shoot with them. I hope they have a little more patience on good shows that will outlast the one year wonders that draw 9 mil and drop off the charts after… Read more »
