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 love this show. It is one of my favorites!! Please don’t cancel this!
Forever is one of those rare delights. A show with a great cast, a wonderful story, Ioan Gruffudd, and something we need more of on prime time television. Solid stories that entertain without preaching. Sort of like NCIS, but fresher. My plea is simple. Keep Forever for at least another season, perhaps at another time when it isn’t battling the CBS blockbuster shows. I think with more advertising, putting Season One on HULU and Netflix, more people will find it and get as attached as many of us are. Those of us in the audience are getting fatigued at finding… Read more »
I love this show and hope it makes it for another season! This is full of so much potential and the actors are well casted. Please do not cancel this show. If anything change the time slot.
I absolutely love this show. I am a die hard POI fan but I still choose this show to watch and DVR POI. POI is tough competition tho, and Forever shouldn’t be ditched because POI is a hot show with a loyal fan base. I watch Chicsgo Fire also and it is not even close to as good as Forever. I DVR that too. But there aren’t any other firefighter shows on and it is a soap opera, so people get hooked. Change the time slot and keep Forever on the air!
I love this show, and recently the episodes have become much better. I’m glad the silly premise about Henry getting killed again,and again and coming back naked each time, has virtually disappeared. The acting is excellent, and the plots with all the twists are so spellbinding.I particularly enjoy the relationship between Henry and Abe, and how Henry’s
creepy,stalker turned out to have compassion .I really hope this show is renewed. I rarely watch TV, but this is my favorite show.
This is such an intelligent show. Please give it a better timeslot, and let it have a chance to build an audience and really shine.
We love this show! The actors, the detailed sets ( love Abe’s antique shop), the plots and a dear little piece of life philosophy at the end of each show. Please renew Forever.
Love this show! Please don’t cancel it.
I love this show please move on with the next season excellent writers great actors.
1 love this show I believe if it’s ran for a second season that it would get more veiwers..I didn’t watch American idol the first season …I love that it’s well written ..and the actors are great..I watch it every week on my dvr with my brother he comes to my house just to watch it every week ..please renew it…
I love this show. Very original. A great mix of drama and comedy. Fantastic chemistry between the actors. I would hate to see the show axed because the big muckety mucks at the network are so far removed from the people who like to actually watch something other than a reality show or most of the other trash that is aired on ABC, CBS & NBC. Most of the good shows are on the WB, FOX, FX and other cable channels. Maybe ABC, CBS & NBC should just give up the ghost and just dish up reality TV, and the… Read more »
Love, Love, Love Forever! I would say it is my favorite television show. I really hope they keep it on. I can’t wait for Tuesday to come around again so I can see Henry in action he is an extremely smart and good looking gentleman. There aren’t many shows with characters like this. It’s nice to have something good on tv other than the usual sitcom crap. Please keep it on. Thank you
I absolutely love this show. It’s a riveting crime show. The actors are fabulous and the characters are believable. I like to think that a man could live for two centuries and bring his knowledge to help in current time. Please, please, keep this program. I don’t know what I shall watch without Forever.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. IT SHOULD BE RENEWED.
We really enjoy this show! Don’t cancel. So nice to see something different.
