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?
ONG! I just looked at the ratings for that dumb musical show Galavant and it had LOWER ratings and was renewed for another season. Maybe there is something else behind the cancellation?
I have got to agree with you on that. You say the show Galavant was renewed and they had even lower ratings it makes me wonder. I like shows like Forever and I find some similarities to Highlander and I absolutely loved that show as well. I hope they listen to us for once and not to those who only like shows that have no heart, intelligence and no real stories. I use to love watching comedy shows but I find that there has been no comedy show worth watching in at least 30 yrs. I suppose I don’t understand… Read more »
We need to continue to tell our friends and family to keep this petition going about being back Forever. I know shows on the past have been canceled and the networks did not listen . The more people that contact Netflix the better chance we have. Plus go to ABC feed back and share the disappointment about not renewing this show. Lime you all I was shocked when I heard they were canceling Forevef they never even crossed my mind cause it was such a well written show with incredible actors and story line. Keep the petition going Tim they… Read more »
Galavant renewed???? Stupid show. Bring back Forever PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This series adds a new spin on Immortality and should not be canceled. Let the love story play out. As one chapter of his life closes, let a new one open up. Very creative story line.
please bring it back! This was the Only decent show! Do you not even take into account the millions of people downloading it! Something tells me people downloading are in to 18-49 age range! It’s literally the only show I can watch,enjoy and let my daughter watch with out having to turn it off in the middle cause it crosses some line! You got to give it a chance!! Who decides these things cause they obviously need a dang Brain!
Please don’t cancel this show. I love it. It’s entertaining and educational to watch. This is my top five favorite TV shows. It’s not far how it ended AT ALL!!! STOP canceling all my favorite shows. Jezzz. It’s a tease with cruel intentions.
I love this show. Absolutely bring it back! Finally an adult show with no zombies, vampires or useless reality tv.
Do not cancel
Another show that I loved that they took off the air!
Please don’t cancel this show, it is one of the best. I mean you did renew Galavant, why???
Please do not cancel this show. It´s refreshing to watch something with so much information and emtertainment without following the same old detective investiigative programs.
I’m bummed Forever is being cancelled. Great show and cast. A very compelling story line. Too bad ABC only cares about Shonda Rhymes fans. Maybe it should be the Shonda Rhimes network. I have a hard time watching the increasingly self-centered and immature characters she creates. I certainly don’t want to have surgery at any hospital in the near future!
Seriously, I’d like to see some closure for Henry. At least CBS is doing that for A Person o of interest.
I swear CBS is the absolute worst network. Every decent show they have had they cancel it. This show was excellent. How they make their past shows available is idiotic as well. Cold Case still isn’t available to watch or purchase. Fire anyone at the top of CBS, cause they clearly don’t know what they hell they are doing.
I don’t know if you realize it, but the show was on ABC, not CBS?
Pretty sure this show was on ABC
Please, please, please DO NOT cancel this show!! There’s finally a show on that’s different from the others. Henry is one of the best characters out there. Tuesday nights will not be the same without it!!
This show was my of my favorites with the other one being Greys Anatomy. It is very interesting, love it when the show goes back in time and the characters were casted brilliantly. I don’t watch much tv but this one is worth watching. Don’t cancel the show, it’s awesome.
I love this show! Why do they cancel the best shows? I couldn’t wait until Tuesday night to see a new episode!
Please. Don’t cancel this show. Continue the story. Is not fair how it ended!
