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?
I want to like this show as I like the actors Alana de la Garza since Law & Order, Judd Hirsch in just about everything, Joel David Moore in Bones, etc. I want programming based on high quality scripts and not zombies, vampires, comic book characters, over the top violence, sex and special effects. However, the writing for this show is a major let down. The plot lines are so predictable. There is no originality in the scripts at all. Other than the premise of the main character living forever this is a pretty run of mill police procedural. They… Read more »
The scripts are NOT predictable, especially the last episode. It was a complete surprise that the dad was the murderer, and Henry appearing in the water is not getting old. It is part of what makes the show as good as it is. The last episode with the Black Dahlia and Ripper plot was very very good. If ABC takes this show off, it will be a major mistake.
Best new show!!!

I love Forever. Interesting characters and storylines. I’ll be very disappointed if it’s canceled.
Of all the new shows added to my DVR this season. This is my favorite show. I haven’t watched the other network shows so I don’t have a stake in them. As Jo pointed out the male lead is a good actor, nice looking as well as his female supporting who make a great team. It’s good to see Judd Hirsch back on television. As a supporting actor he’s excellent in any role he pursues. I hope they keep Forever, if on another night, I really think it would be a fan favorite. It’s light, characters are likeable and just… Read more »
It is the best new show of the year. The ratings are disappointing, especially since they seem to not be holding an audience. Looks like another of my favorites that will die an early death and probably on a cliff hanger.
If ABC constantly has problems with the Tuesday 10pm time slot, WHY would they put a new series in that spot? Do they WANT it to fail before it can build a following?
I totally agree! Set to fail before giving it an honest chance. There are few actors that are as elegant and refined as Ioan Gruffudd. Never mind that he is a terrific actor and impossibly handsome! Give it a second season and CHANGE the time.
I love this show. Good acting..a handsome, intelligent and appealing male lead, and an intriguing premise. I hope ABC decides to give this show the chance it deserves.
Awesome show
