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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 feel bad for not watching these episodes on tv.. the show had great potential and i was EXTREMLY excited for season 2.
it also has the timeless drama thats associated with the vampire tv shows without the vampire crap.
the show has endless possibilities and endless people/events to bring from the past
Why can’t you leave well enough alone??? Keep FOREVER ON!!!
I LOVE this show!! I’m so sad. Some other network please pick it up!!!! Come on Netflix!!!

I am a very disgruntled viewer due to the fact the you have the audacity to turn against the viewers of the great show called “FOREVER” Truth be known it all boils down to money and who is behind the show itself, exp: “Say what I Say” well we all know who’s behind that one,and it’s Ellen D.,I like Ellen don’t get me wrong,but she has the money to keep it on the air,even though her ratings are lower than “FOREVER” Now you tell me what’s wrong with THAT PICTURE?????? There are so many viewers that really like “FOREVER” and… Read more »

I LOVE FOREVER – AND SOME IDIOT CANCELLED IT!!!!!! I’m UNHAPPY !!!!! Obviously whoever is making the decisions to “keep or cancel” shows is out-dated & out-of-touch with what and how viewers are watching shows. Because of my schedule I always catch Forever online and so do all of my friends that watch. We weekly catch up with each other and talk about the show – THEY ARE ALL UNHAPPY WITH ABC TOO!!!!! ??? REALLY- REALLY are you really using some old system like Neilson viewer ratings? Forever is a great show with good stories, and good acting, instead of… Read more »

I was just reading that ABC is playing up the Bachelorette pregnancy for ratings. It’s amazing that they use such an archaic form of scaling popularity as the Nielsens(50s/60s) to dismiss their most successful show in this time spot in years, while trumpeting an event that wouldn’t have flown back then.
Maybe, it’s time for an old fashioned boycott.
FOREVER – so sorry to see it cancelled. Loved the leading actors. Storylines excellent. Hope it returns. Don’t watch reality tv,
It isn’t real life. Won’t watch demons and other artifical characters.
Thank you for reading my remarks.

Too bad the network is run by morons more interested in, well, I best not go there, just say I wouldn’t trust them around young children or my pets. I am very disappointed and will vote with me feet and go elsewhere. Glad I copied all of the one season.
