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. Don’t cancel!!!!
Very good show, would be a shame to lose it so quickly while other shows are allowed to continue.
I love “Forever”. The writing is good, the actors are believable and I enjoy watching it. Please don’t cancel!!!!
DON’T YOU DARE CANCEL MY FAVORITE SHOW “FOREVER”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!
I look forward to watching Forever every week. It should be renewed it for a 2nd season. The show’s plot is like a good book that you just can’t put down and the actors are great!
Forever is by far my favorite show! I can’t wait to see it each week. Every good show gets canceled!
“Forever” is one of the few shows my husband and I look forward to each week. It is clever, funny, poignant, and somehow believable! Not only that, but even though some of the stories have scenes of violence in them, I do not consider this a violent show (a real treat these days). The acting is good (and where else can I see Judd Hirsh–my favorite character from “Taxi”)? The relationship between Abe and Henry is quite touching, not to mention Ioan Gruffudd is not at all hard on the eyes! All in all, it’s nice to find a show… Read more »
… And Forever has more viewers than Agents of SHIELD! Not that I want AoS to be cancelled…

This is a great show! I love crime shows but this has an interesting twist making it different from others. Why don’t they try moving it to a different time / day? How does it get rated? Is there somewhere we can go to vote to keep it on?
Do not cancel!!!! Best show ever on TV!!! I absolutely love the premise of Dr. Henry Morgan being 200 years old & living through different historical periods & events & trying to cope with 21st C. Manhattan.
I really REALLY like this show. I’m unable to watch it during it’s regularly scheduled time but catch it later On Demand. The writing is excellent, the acting is great. Please don’t cancel it. I’ve recommended it to friends with young children – it’s that good.
I really really like this show. I can’t watch it during it’s regularly scheduled time, but catch it On Demand later. Please PLEASE don’t cancel it. The writing is great, the acting supurb.
Hope to see more seasons. Do not like having to look for the show! Stop pre-empting it and maybe the ratings will rise!
Please give Forever a chance! My husband and I really enjoy this show and don’t want to see it end prematurely. The immortality concept, the historical looks back into Henry’s life (often tied to cases), his relationship with Abe, and our hope for a budding relationship with Jo have us very interested in this show. Give it a chance!
My husband and I both LOVE this how!! PLEASE don’t cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
