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?
Please please get renewed. Totally love this show and that’s from someone who hates procedural type shows. The main issue i see with this show is the damn network, it has treated Forever terribly. Just take a look at the schedule, it has taken break after break, its probably the worst i have ever seen, i think since November it has hardly ran two episodes in a row and i believe for some that would make it hard or them to get attached. Also i don’t think they explore Henry’s condition nearly enough, i cant even remember the last time… Read more »
My husband & I both llike the show. It has taken some time to develop the characters, and now that Henry’s secret is about to be revealed, I think it’s exciting.
Good cast, good ensemble.
Love the show!
Forever, great writing, great casting, pure quality entertainment. The only program I watch on commercial TV. Please continue it.
I know what you mean, Dave. There are so few shows that have such appealing actors and interesting plots. There were a few weak stories early on but now there is so much to each episode. The only other procedurals I’ve liked recently are the continuing “Bones” and Canada’s “Artful Detective” — intelligent, charming shows for intelligent, charming viewers. Enough with the “singing” and “dancing” junk directed at teenage minds and the unfunny “family” sitcoms.
Do not cancel this show! It has become our favorite.
omg people get a clue!…..please dont cancel this show…..i love this show….. i wait all week to see it
“Best Show Ever!”
Pleas renew!
love the show. please renew. Haven’t missed an episode. great cast and fabulous stories.
Love Love Love this show. Ioan Gruffudd is the best. Remember him from Horatio Hornblower and knew he would go far in his field. My husband and I never miss an episode. Also love the interaction between Ioan and Judd Hirsch. Please give this another season to develope.
Don’t ever do this, but I am now. I feel this is one of the best series ABC has come out with in its genre. Great writing, great actors and gripping storylines. Please renew, using the same rationale used for Castle, it’s too good to let go! Thanks.
This is a “sleeper show” that became a “don’t miss a week”. It started with a lot of information that needed to be learned quickly and it made me unsure about liking it until after the 2nd show. Then the hook was set. Please keep this show coming!
Please don’t let forever die! Give it a better time slot so people can really enjoy it. It’s a great drama with incredible actors. So well done! My favorite show right now. Check out the “young” seniors and know that we very much enjoy a program of this quality!
Please Please keep it. I love love love it. So do all of my family. We are in Texas and we love it. The others are in South Carolina and they love it. We have a great time discussing it!! Please KEEP IT
Must be renewed. Enjoyable, superbly written and acted. All cast members and especially Judd Hirsch are wholesome and riveting roles. Please renew.
This show leaves you wanting more. It is the best writing I ever Saw. Just change the time slot. There are really some bad shows on that the writers dont have a clue, Please get rid of these shows. Give FOREVER another season. Theres really not many good TV shows to watch. If You take them all away. I might just give up on TV.
my husband and I love this show! Great story lines and acting!! With all the garbage on tv it would be ashame if it was cancelled!!!
