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?
Forever is a great show with great characters and zippy dialogue. DON”T CANCEL.
I marathon watched the episodes of “Forever” recently and loved it. I am so disappointed to think that they are even considering canceling this show when there are so many, many others being a sure thing for the next season that aren’t worthy of the airtime. At a time when it is truly difficult to find something worthy of watching on the many, many channels available to think they would cancel a show that is intelligent, well-written and has a great cast (Lucas could be toned down) is unthinkable. Come on ABC … give the group outside the 18-49 age… Read more »
Please renew Forever …..I love that show and watch every week.
Forever is by far one of the best shows that ABC has aired in quite some time. I never miss the show, and I hope it will be renewed for Season 2. The cast is awesome and the story line is brilliant.
please renew the show! It is entertaining and interesting it doesn’t get dark and bloody. I truly enjoy this show!
A brilliant show!
Very original, thought provoking and utterly charming. It has a great cast of very accomplished actors, and the story lines are riveting.
Ioan Gruffudd is brilliant and hot, hot, hot!
I sincerely hope the show is renewed, and I trust ABC will movie it to a better day/time slot.
I am so tired of seeing reality TV with people acting, lets be blunt–stupid. There is enough of those types of shows to last a lifetime!!! It is refreshing to bring in a series that has some interesting story lines that incorporate the past and present with a handsome British actor who has good taste and manners. Please keep FOREVER on the air. I am also a PERSON OF INTEREST fan and because they share the same time slot , I DVR both shows. Don’t forget there are other fans that will do the same thing so that they are… Read more »
Please renew this show! I love it! It is one of the few shows I look forward to each week!
Stories and characters are great!
Why the ages 18-49 demo? I believe more people watch TV that are over the age of 49! And we are most likely to be purchasing the products advertised.
I think it’s time ABC change their rating criteria and get real stats.
PLEASE KEEP “FOREVER”. It’s intelligent TV that both my husband and I can watch together!
Love this show. Now my husband tells me they are thinking of cancelling it. It is one of the very few shows I like that he will actually watch with me. Why is it any show that requires half a brain to watch gets canceled but shows like Dancing with the Stars or The Bachelor are still on the air? We quit watching new shows years ago when Journeyman was canceled. We have added two; Grimm and Forever. I certainly hope this show stays. Who knows it could be the next big ratings surprise once people catch on.
Love this show, It’s different, the storyline is worth watching every week! I love the past, present, the possibilities are endless with this story!! keep this going for more seasons!
My husband and I watch a few shows faithfully each week but Forever is by far our favorite. We absolutely LOVE it! Well thought of and followed through stories with each character. Good job directors!! Please keep this show on next season!
Renew pizza!!!
I wish I had discovered this series upon its inception, but due to ABC’s seemingly forever now long tradition of crap entertainment around and during this time slot I’d stopped bothering to even check and see what they had on. I recently discovered this show only four days ago, and I am currently at episode 11 through alternative viewing options. I will however catch up this week and religiously tune in weekly for the current episodes. PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW FOR MORE SEASONS, its a brilliant collage of past/present/supernatural/crime/art/ etc etc and the list goes on.
Brilliant show, brilliant actors, please renew ‘Forever’
