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.

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?
I Love this show!!!. Please!!! Don’t cancel it.
this show FOREVER !!!!!! Is such. GOOD show just because it doesn’t have sex in it doesn’t mean it’s not a good show please don’t cancel LOVE IT SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!
I love the show!! Dont cancel it I would love to see a second season give it a chance.just like the show almost human was canceled after the first season 🙁 I never forgave you guys for THAT!
I love the show Forever! It is tiring to find the same shows with different titles with the same plots, plot twists, & love interests as every other show out there. It is rare to find a show that shows the slow realistic build of friendships and love that last longer than a one night stand. It is impressive to see a show that you can’t predict because you have seen it before under another title. It is interesting to see a good man with a baffling condition deal in the best way he can, working as an M.E. as… Read more »
Please don’t cancel Forever. Too many stupid comedies, reality shows. This is a terrific show. Consider all the folks that DVR’d this show!
Television has too few shows that appeal to a better-read, better-traveled demographic. Forever is a show that melds the present with the past in an engaging way. Certainly the network could air another C.S.I. clone, with yet another predictable series of plots. The show Forever is not a mere echo of the success of others. When television reaches its apex, it approaches theater, challenging the audience to see moral complexity, to grasp ironies of life, to find a kinship with characters, and to work at understanding the scriptwriter’s purpose(s). Forever is a show along those lines, one that deserves another… Read more »
I absolutely love Forever, it is different in it’s smart intelligent funny way.give it another season please. My husband and I were hooked.I can’t believe crap like these not really celebrity dancing shows stays on or any other reality garbage but you want to take off a great show like Forever.
I’m so upset that forever is ended I sure hope someone else can pick it up.. my son and I watch this and love it…. soupsetloveourforever….
well i guess if it doesn’t have a vampire or zombie in it. Nobody will even give a chance. please dont take this show off, at least do one more season.Please…
I live in Sydney, Australia. This has been the first TV show in years my wife wanted to watch every week. Thank You ABC for taking that off her. 🙁 I too looked forward to watching it with her. How can you cancel something as entertaining as this that gets both partners in a family wanting to watch it every week. We have a TV personality here that has a standard comment that suits what you have done by cancelling the series. “Shame, Shame, Shame” ABC.
Please vote. Call Netflex and another Networks to please pick it up. We need to keep posting daily. Let the network know we want Forever back on!!! Thank you for continue posting.
i am upset that this show was cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows. I agree with Kathleen. Please reconsider.
Come ABC, don’t cancel the only show I love! This show filled ur missing slot and it’s GREAT!
Come on ABC is 6 million people not enough to keep a show on TV? How many do you need? a Billion? a Trillion? Make a stand and keep a good show on TV. At least end it properly, what is one more season.
Love the show Forever! Please don’t cancel it!
This is one of my favorite shows. I love the premise of the younger man being the father and the older one the son. I love the flashbacks to different time periods. And, the stories/writing is fantastic.
How do you guys make your decisions? If you had backed it a little more and done a little advertising so people would know about it, it would have been more successful.
Give it another chance please, it is quality television.
