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 was a brillent show. But like ABC to always cancel good shows, like Lie to me, Always the ones i enjoyed. What a way to have left it as well. Please ABC reconsider a renewal for season 2
Over the years there have been many great and fun shows that have appealed to me. Every time I like a show it gets canceled. I’m just going to stop watching TV.
Gutted! Big shout out from the UK. 4.93 million viewers is not bad at all! The network are renewing shows with even less viewers. Such a shame another network doesn’t pick this up! Best fantasy drama for years…! Likeable characters, great actors that gel so well together. I will miss this show.
What a way to leave us! This show was great. Why do we always have to be stuck with blood and guts doctor shows? This is an awful mistake.
Please, please do not cancel this fabulous programme!!
Big, big mistake! This show is smart, entertaining and extremely well cast. Please reconsider. One of our all time favorites!
Please don’t cancel the show FOREVER it is great and such a good premise
Please don’t cancel “Forever” it is one of the only good shows on television today. Both me and my husband love this show and wish to see a second season return.
Please keep this show going ! It’s my favourite show and I just can’t live without it !
Please let there be another season of Forever it is something new and different.
Yeah, my whole family love this show. Please keep it going.
I really hope this show doesn’t get cancelled absolutely love forever
This is a geat show. Please do not cancel, there is not enough good TV today to cancel a show like this
Please don’t cancel Forever. My daughter and I love to watch it. There are so many options and ways to take the story in the future. It seems like most quality tv shows are being replaced by more and more crap “reality” shows. It’s hard to find good things to watch. This show should be a keeper in my humble opinion. Let’s keep room for decent shows like this before it all turns to trash.
Thank you.
I just browse through the guide and turn the television off, these days. I’ve caught a few minutes of some of these other shows that remain, and I wonder what is going on? Total nonsense! I hope Nielson didn’t compute my one minute of watching any of those shows in their statistics. I just was flipping channels. Do people really watch all the game shows and reality shows? Seems that is all that remains. So sad-
I couldn’t bring myself to watch the last episode until tonight. Please please please don’t let it be cancelled! I love this show!! I absolutely love antique shops, and history. This show had it all. I’m not sure I can see Jo and Henry becoming intimate. But anything is possible. This just breaks my heart!!!!
Yes, we love it too. Please keep it going.
