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?
Forever is the only new regular scheduled show I have watched and enjoyed this year. So, I ask you to not cancel it. The only other show (in the same category) that I watch is Castle.
My watching of shows on a regular basis has fallen over the past few years because of the tendency to make shows alike rather than based on quality of acting, writing, and directing and dynamic tension between characters.The unique approach to crime solution in Forever is most refreshing and if given a chance would probably set a new trend.
Please Please Please ABC do NOT cancel FOREVER!!! I love the show so much! It’s always exciting and unpredictable. One of the best crime dramas I’ve seen!!! Keep it please!! I hope there’s still more seasons to come for Forever. I only watch the show online because I barely watch TV and I always miss the airtime schedule. I may have missed it couple of times but doesn’t mean I don’t love watching it. I don’t know if ABC will get to read this but I really hope you consider the fans opinions. If watching it live on its airtime… Read more »
PLEASE do not cancel this show! The premise is intriguing, the dynamic between the characters is wonderful, and it’s so well cast that it would be a waste to cancel it. This is one of the best shows to air this season and I think it should be moved to a different time. Forever has too much potential to be stuck in the Tuesdays at 10 death slot.
Forever, is actually one of the few shows on now that i actually want to watch each week. i love the characters. amazing cast, great story, it captures you, has a great villain. i want to see where this goes. it keeps me wanting more. i think it would do even better at a different slot. i tell everyone that ask me what i like to watch and this is one of two shows i always mention. its something my wife and i watch every week. oh and i am a 30 year old male. isnt that the demo all… Read more »
Please don’t cancel. Show has so much room for growth with so many characters. Not everyone likes reality shows.
PLEASE Keep this show – the characters are so well cast and the relationships are still developing. It’s a great show that is developing a loyal following.
Please do not cancel this show! Its is awesome and I want to Henry tell the detective his Secret!
Forever is definitely a keeper. It’s one of the best shows to come along since Castle.
If the ratings are below expectations, try it in a better slot.
The show is very well cast. Ioan Gruffudd, however stands out in the series. He draws you into the show.
This is one of my favorite shows! I adored CHUCK on nbc, and I am not afraid to admit that I cried when and how it ended. It was replaced with THE CAPE and GRIMM. GRIMM is alright but CHUCK was SO MUCH BETTER, and I thank the stars above that THE CAPE is GONE! Forever has a great story line and should continue for 4 or more seasons. Thanks for listening to the true millions of fans of this show and not the false number that leave out a lot of fans!
I like “Forever” very much, and sincerely hope ABC will keep it on the air.

Please do not cancel forever.
I love the shows concept.
One of the best new shows in a long time. A lot different and more entertaining than the vast majority of some of the boring shows that have already been renewed. Give it a better time slot and it should take off.
I love Forever… please don’t cancel…! It’s wonderfully relaxing TV that my 10 year old son and I can enjoy together! Love, love, love it!
Back again to sing the praises of “Forever”! I love this show so much! I just turned 50 (yesterday)..and am very particular about what I watch. There’s very little I watch on the “main” networks..DWTS and maybe one other when it’s “in season”..otherwise, nothing..so it’s so nice to have a major network prime-time show to look forward to. The whole cast and the premise of “Forever” is simply great..unique..refreshing..and Ioan is VERY easy on the eyes! 😉 I ADORE Brits, and it’s great to have a leading character on a show to drool over! Lol! Please give this show a… Read more »
Jo, Happy Belated 50th Birthday and many more ! I’m totally with you in support of this wonderful series, “FOREVER”. I’m 72 yrs. old with health and mobility issues. As it is difficult for me to get out much, my main entertainment is my TV. “Forever” has been the most delightful discovery this season. Ioan, Judd, Alana, and all the other actors, have created something really special from the terrific writers’ efforts each week. Each new episode is the highlight of my week. I join you, Jo, in the sincere hope that ABC will see fit to renew “Forever” for… Read more »
Here I am, again ! The PEST, I know, but I have to keep up my strong support for the ABC series, “FOREVER”. Superb in every way ! As you read all of these MANY comments, you have to notice that they are 99% positive in favor of keeping this wonderful series around. You are making many viewers very happy. PLEASE don’t punish us for being the ‘wrong’ demographic. We are faithful fans who will stand by Dr. Henry Morgan ’till death do us part’. Hopefully, that won’t be for many more seasons. Thank you for your anticipated support of… Read more »
