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?
yes this show should be renewed ,character development is coming along and another season will fillit out. then the fun begins. kind of the way Castle turned out. I still like that show.
Please renew Forever – it is Must See TV for me and a growing audience. It has excellent cast, intriguing story lines and a promising future if given the chance for a second season.
Please renew best show out there.
Please renew one of our favorite shows, Forever!
Look there is a movie out right now with the same story line and they are calling it a classic. Come on people! Forever was on first! Just change the time slot and give it a chance. I’m tired of the good stuff getting axed while all the garbage gets to stay on. I would haven believed that in my life time the level of garbage on tv would be where it is today. There is never anything on Saturday night. Never! There are only a handful of shows on for adults as it is. ZOMBIES! Give me a break!… Read more »
Exactly! I agree. I’m sorry but Grey’s is getting dry on content. There is the odd episode that is good. But I’ve stopped watching it because I’m tired of the constant doctor whining. Scandal is sooo over the top. And Vampires and witches and werewolves can survive and every other thing on GRIMM FOR THREE seasons. Why not Forever? Why not a masterpiece? Don’t get it.
For whatever it’s worth, please renew Forever! It’s good storytelling, even if sometimes overacted. Judd Hirsh and Joel David Moore are amazing. I started watching it because I read Pete Hamill’s 2003 novel “Forever” which is similar, but I like the show better than the book (no offense to Mr. Hamill).
One of our favorite shows ever!! PLEASE renew. It stylish, intelligent and seductive. Looking forward to season 2!
Yes, please renew this show. It is interesting and intelligent. Actors are great and much is gained from the stories. I also record it so I guess my vote doesn’t count on the ratings. Am tired of reality junk shows and never watch them. Please renew Forever.
My husband and I love this show! Well written, great actors! Look forward to this show every week! Best show of this year!
OMG I love this show! I look forward to it every week. I know or at least I heard that ratings do not include people who are TIVOing it. I have to work in the morning but I TIVO it every week and look forward to it when I get home on Wednesday evening!
It´s the best show of the year. Well, I´m a freaky and I confess that -living in a priest residence- is the only show I watch. Mentalist had to finish last year (I didn´t watch any chapter this season) and Big Bang Theory and Modern Family is the same every years. Arrow was interesting but… well… I was so boring…
FOREVER is an intelligent, well-written, and well-casted show that should be given the chance to regain its audience. It is sad that such things a TWO AND ONE-HALLF MEN and COUGARTOWN and their ilk should prevail over entertaining and thought-provoking shows such as FOREVER.
Very good movie, we liked this films and wait for the second season.
This is “THE BEST” show on TV, period. It is well written, holds your interest, uses artful historical links and always has interesting twists in the plot. FOREVER is my wife’s favorite show, too. This should be a hit year after year! KEEP IT IN THE LINE-UP.
Please renew this show. I love watching it. I look forward to watching it every week. It’s great how history is added to each case. I tend to record it due to the fact that I’m a mother of two who is exhausted in the evening. Would love to see it again next season.
