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?
IN A SEA OF INANE SITCOMS AND GAME SHOWS THAT NEED TO BE ON DAYTIME…THIS EXCELLENT DRAMA BOASTS ALL THE THINGS A VIEWER WANTS…INTELLIGENT SCRIPTS…GOLD STANDARD ACTORS…AND SO MUCH ROOM TO GROW….ABC INSULTS THE VIEWER BY EVEN CONTEMPLATING THE CANCELLATION OF SUCH A CLASS ACT OF A SERIES…NO THREATS TO ABC ABOUT NOT WATCHING THEM ANYMORE OR BUYING ANY OF THIER SPONSERS…JUST BE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO YOUR VIEWERS AND KEEP INTELLIGENCE ALIVE BY KEEPING THIS SERIES…..

Loving this show, hope that it is picked up. I really like the writing and the characters ~!
please don’t cancel it – the may 5th episode leaves you wanting to find out what happens with Jo and Henry
Please renew Forever for season 2. One of the best shows on TV!
Please! Renew this show for as many seasons as possible. I love how its a murder mystery show, that isn’t too provocative or have foul language. I want to see what becomes of Henry and Jo, if Henry encounters any other immortals, what about Adam, lying paralyzed in the hospital. What will become of him? What if he dies again, or what if he doesn’t a lies unaging in the hospital?
Please do not cancell after just one year. Ratings go back an forth but give it a chance to settle in. Doing better than a lot of shows. Don’t be so quick.
