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.

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?
Forever is definitely worth renewing. Watched through multiple shows of all times – lately everything fresh was a trash. Except for this one. Strong concept, consistent characters, vivid story – it keeps the viewer being truly concerned “what’s next?”. This has to live it though to prove it’s maturity. Being not only entertaining, it goes to the core of human valiues and concepts that have been bothering hundreds of genious minds. It has to live.
Please please please RENEW Forever! Even my three teenage sons love this show!!
Please, please, please RENEW this show. Seriously. It’s my favorite show!
This show is intelligently written and a pure pleasure to watch. The cast is fantastic. Please renew it for another season.
Do not cancel Forever, it is a great show. After watching “Agents of Shield” with my kids, I turn to watch “Forever” every Tuesday. I haven’t seeing such a great TV show in ages.
I love this show. I look forward to it every week and think it is one of the best new shows this year!! YOU CANT CANCEL THIS SHOW!! It’s witty, smart, sexy and suspenseful.
I absolutely love the show Forever. I never miss an Episode. The Actors are great and compliment one another. I hope you do not take it off the air. Hope it will return next season. It is my favorite show along with Downton Abby.
My husband and I enjoy watching Forever each week. The story line and acting are very good and should be back next year.
Please renew this show. My daughter and I love to watch it together but really wish it was on earlier.
Forever, Castle, and Grimm are the only shows I drop everything to watch. Being 70 dropping everything isn’t that hard but finding a well written, well acted and with an interesting story line is difficult.
Please keep it up and running. Castle also.
My favorite TV series this past season! Outstanding premise and ensemble cast! Plus, lead character is very easy on the eyes, in addition to being a terrific actor! Please renew!
I totally agree! Forever and Castle are my top two favorites. Please renew for more seasons!
Renew it. It’s good.
Love the show-PLEASE renew it. I’s so good.
Please renew!! I look forward to it every week absolutely love the concept and the cast
Forever is an interesting show with good acting. It’s a keeper!
RENEW FOREVER!!!! Give this show the same attention that you give to the stupid “reality” shows and the numbers will come up! You gave it a terrible time slot and how many weeks did you not even have a show and most people still came back…that should tell you something!
