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?
Love , Love, Love, this show. Sure hope it renews for next year.
Forever is our favorite show, and we look forward to it. Henry Morgan is a wonderful character, and the whole cast fits well together. There are endless opportunities for stories that bring in Henry’s past. Please renew this wonderful show!!
This is a really great show with interesting stories and terrific casts.
Please renew it for a second season.
I really like this breezy, light-weight show. I like the lack of conflict among the main cast of characters. This is an uncomplicated fantasy world and so much fun to watch.
I too, like Forever. In Canada it is on Mondays before Castle, so I agree ABC should find a different time slot. It is unique and Henry does not have to die all the time. The historical parts of Henry’s lives give the cases a bit of originality and I enjoy the philosophy in the show. Also love having Judd Hirsch back on a regular basis, Not every show is for the 18 to 49 crowd. Boomers still rule !
I love this show but I think that the rating problem was the there was Sons of Anarchy on Tuesdays at 10pm. Now that that series has ended the ratings will go up. I personally didn’t watch Forever when it was being aired but I always caught up. Now that Sons is done I will for sure be watching it when it’s being aired. Can’t wait!!
Please please don’t cancel this show it is a really well thought out and a great part of television. There is a rich plot with great characters with amazing depth to them. I may not be able to watch it as soon as it comes out but i watch it whenever i can online on ABC. This is a well loved show that will have a great fan base as it grows. Please keep it going you can change the times or the day as long as its still on!
This is a great show that we have watched since the beginning. Please don’t cancel it, just try another day or time.
Please do not cancel this terrific show. It is one of the few shows I look forward to every week. It is well written, well played and just plain fascinating.
Forever is a great series, a ******* child of Amsterdam and Elementary. I hope it gets renewed for season 2 – and for those of you agitating for more deaths, that’s actually not well thought out – see, as it is now, it’s not the staple of the show, it’s a detective show with a long-lived character who occasionally dies and comes back to life. If they had Henry dying every episode, or even every other episode, then ultimately, the show becomes about that, meaning it will no longer be about the cases (as well as the overarching story arc,… Read more »
This is such an interesting program. Please renew it and give it a better time slot.
“Forever” is absolutely fantastic! The acting and actors are amazing. Please renew this show.
Tell the writers to tell the director if he doesn’t start dying and coming back to life more often you are going to lose an audience also tell the star that if he doesn’t die and resurrect more his time is numbered. People watch to see his death and resurrection not only his detective skills and drama. Remember, this isn;t a detective story it is a “highlander story?”
I loved the premise of this show, but was disappointed to find out it was yet another crime solving show. Seriously so many of these now. . .
I disagree. I do not think he should be killed all the time, that would be ridiculous. The show is great just the way it is. I love it.
I totally agree. I love this program because it is already different enough with it’s history and crime scene introspection. I don’t want a program about ridiculous excuses for dying each week and showing up naked in the river (already seen it and it doesn’t need to take place every week). Dying probably doesn’t need to take place more than a couple of times each season. I love Adam showing up and adding to the story plus the intrigue of when or if to tell Jo…………………………….. There’s a reason IMDB gives this 8.3 stars!!!
Please keep Forever for a 2nd season. One of the best shows on TV.
Yes! Please keep it running.
Forever has the worst time slot, the worst night and is up against 2 established programs and yet continues to get faithful viewership and great reviews. If it were given a better shot by ABC and more promotions it would definitely take off. There is a large fan base all over the world. Listen to the fans ABC and renew Forever. Put it before Castle and you will not be sorry you brought it back!
Agreed
Bring it back
