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?
PLEASE don’t cancel FOREVER it is the only show that is truly one I enjoy watching. I love seeing the interaction between Henry and Jo I think they really must get together and now I will never know if they will :'( This just breaks my heart to know that Henry will not show up on my TV every Tuesday evening……….what will be the point of even turning it on???? Please bring back Henry, Jo and everyone else in this wonderful evening of TV!!!!!!! Why do you guys have to leave the crap on and take off the really good… Read more »
NOOOOOO!!! Why??? I’m sorry. But I don’t believe it was because of the ratings. This was an AWESOME show!!! There are other not so good shows to cancel. That’s the only show I liked to watch on ABC.
please don’t cancel! Though I’m not in your young demographics, I am a true fan with spending power. I love the acting, and casting. The last few episodes were fantastic.
Forever canceled?!?!!! This is truly the last straw with ABC!! That’s why the CW GETS YOUR VIEWER!! You never allow any GOOD shows to manifest their talents!! SAD, SAD, SAD!!! Just getting over losing Body of Proof??!
I just found out today Forever was cancelled, I loved this show from the pilot until the season finale! I was so looking forward to Henry letting Jo know his secret. What can we do to get it back for a second season?
Fire this freakin’ moron who decided to cancell Forever. And what moron decided that 18-49 year olds are the best tv watching age…really??!! They probably watch the least amount of television. Over 50 watch more tv than any other group….duhhhh. Keep Forever on!
Please don’t cancel Forever! It is the first show on Tuesday evenings that I enjoy watching! This has been a truly enjoyable show to watch especially the conversations between Henry and Jo. Please don’t cancel this!
I have to wonder why the 18-49 age bracket is so important. They’re the ones who are more likely to be watching reality tv, IF they’re even at home, or playing video games, or surfing the internet… not parked in front of their television to watch quality programming like Forever. Do those of us aged 50 and over just not count? We’re the ones with the money, the time, the inclination to stay home in the evening and watch a good show or two. ABC needs to rethink who its audience really is. More and more of us are pushing… Read more »
Why would they take forever off and leave all those other shows on that no one wants to watch. Who decides What shows get to stay and what ones have to go because it’s not the viewers. You would think our opinion matters but obviously not.
ABC always cancels the good shows. Never fails.
I’m so tired of all the real good shows not coming back this is getting to be really ridiculous with these networks I’m about to take up reading and leave TV in the past.
Unbelievable. Another truly smart show gets cancelled. I do not know how they come ip with these ratings but it seems very flawed. This was a great show with great actors. Please bring it back it was obviously a mistake to cancel if the comments and complaints online are any indication.
Forever was a great show and since this is something ABC seems to be doing alot is canceling good shows i’m just going to go back to CW and finish watching the flash..ABC you suck and lost me and i belive many other viewers.. RIP ABC
I heard this is cancelled.
I was literally the only ABC show my family watched.
Got better and better through the year.
The season (now series) finale was a great episode. Even with the flaw about firing the gun twice.
Very disappointed to learn about the cancelation of Forever. This was an excellent crime show with a unique storyline, and plenty of twists, i think ABC at least owes us fans a finale!
