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?
With all the trash on tv, why in the world would this show get cancelled? This is a thought-provoking and pretty intelligent show that is entertaining! If the ratings aren’t good it’s because of the time slot its in. Switch to another time slot and keep this show on. I dvr the show so I can fast-forward through commercials, which I’m sure many others do as well.
I have two must-watch shows every week. Forever is one of them. Ioan Gruffudd is beguiling, the rest of cast great; the relationships charming; the art direction, costumes in flashbacks, writing, all stellar. I have a feeling that one character who’s appeared in flashbacks may reappear.
This is my second favorite show next to Castle. I really enjoy the main character and his immortal tag. Please do not cancel this show. I only watch regular TV on Monday and Tuesday. This show and Castle.
this is a great show – please please don’t cancel it – there is no gratuitous sex and nothing offensive. Great to watch with anyone and always a terrific show.
When I heard the synopsis of a man who couldn’t die and now helped the police, I thought “hear we go again”. But I have enjoyed Ioan Gruffudd’s performances in the Horatio Hornblower movies and The Fantastic Four so I thought I would at least check it out. I am so glad I did! Yes, it does have a trite plot but, so far, the writing and the acting have been able to rise above that. I really hope that ABC gives this series a chance to find its niche audience. It is a series that isn’t dumbing things down… Read more »
