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 bring the show back!
FOREVER is to GOOD of SHOW to just have one season, RENEW IT~!!!!!! Put in a better time slot and your rating will go up, At least give it a fair shake,because what you are doing by cancelling it is totally WRONG!!!!!!
Forever is a wonderful TV show. It has a creative story line which encourages a thinking viewer. It has wonderful NYC scenes and the actors are second to none. The story line is intriguing and other than the obvious- not at all ridiculous like some of the trash out there. Please return the show or at least get someone else to pick it up. Its fantastic and such a ‘come and watch me again’ piece of entertainment. Not bad for the historical flashbacks either- perhaps educating the audience is an added bonus? Regards but with a plea for the show’s… Read more »
This is a fantastic show! I watch a lot of TV, I mean a lot! and this show was one of the best out there. The acting and writing is superb! Look, you can not go by Nielsen ratings anymore, TV has changed, there is so much more to watch now days and hardly any one watches live TV, they record it and watch later skipping all the commercials, heck, I didn’t even know about the show until half way through the season when I accidently stumbled upon it. I told every one I know to watch it and they… Read more »
I can only hope that ABC knows that they have a quality program in FOREVER,
The fan base is will explode if renewed for a second season !
ABC could be on top of the other networks if they renew this one !!
Forever is an entertaining, “thinking” show. Reality tv isn’t reality & darn sure isn’t entering-it’s ridiculous!! Good TV, that keeps you interested with wit & a historical twist, never seems to catch the elusive ratings numbers but every season brings another ridiculous “reality” show. (Why?????). I really hope Warner Bros. DOES find another network to pick Forever up! It’s worth more than 1 season and a later show time makes it greatly convenient to adults who work and finally get to sit down after 8 pm.
Please bring this show back! It is amazing.
No. Don’t cancel Forever! Its my favorite. Some of us work nights & can’t watch regularly broadcast tv. So we watch on the Internet. It’s a great show. Bring it back. Please! !! Pretty please! !!
I am not a fan of reality shows. Love the showForever. I look forward to it each week. It is a show that I don’t mind watching with my kids. PLEASE RENEW.
FOREVER is one of 2 shows we watch in our home, and we took a 20 year break with NO TV at all. Forever is well written ,the cast is sensational, and the moral lessons and earthy urban setting unleashes the show’s entertaining and thought provoking qualities. We’re HOOKED.
This show has found its base audience, and given another season, more people will find it and support the advertisers. RENEW Forever.
Didn’t ELR take a season 2 to catch on?
Wonderful comments, Laura (SO CA) !! So many of us “FOREVER” fans feel the same way. Warner Bros. is ‘shopping’ the show for a new home and we’re all actively doing everything we can to convince other networks to pick up “FOREVER” so Henry can continue telling us his ‘LONG STORY’. There’s still SO much to tell ! It should take AT LEAST 5 or 6 MORE seasons, don’t you think?? Let’s hold that thought !
NOOOOO! DON’T CANCEL FOREVER! I LOVE THIS SHOW! We were just about to find out if he was going to trust the cop enough to share his secret! I love the flash backs! It’s such an interesting show! Please don’t cancel it!
Bring Back FOREVER !!!!! I’m going to start asking the other Networks to Pick it up, Surely to God one of them will, I’m going to ask them to read ALL the Posts that were written about FOREVER,and hopefully one will say YES after seeing so many fans that want this show to come back.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you ask other networks and they are open to it, please post the numbers you use. Thank you!
I hate reality shows. I really loved this show. Bring it back!!
Forever is a great show. I could not disagree more with ABC. I have absolutely no idea how or why reality TV gets higher ratings. Forever was hands down, one of the better new shows in this decade. Hopefully this series can and will be picked up by another source, as this is program for all ages to enjoy.
I can’t believe that you cancelled the show FOREVER on ABC why is all I would like to know,With all these people that are writing in to bring it back how can you sleep at night knowing in your mind and your heart that it truly is a great show,why else would all these people ask you to bring it back ? So I too am asking you to bring it back, so unfair on your part. I’m so disappointed in the ABC network.
Please bring back forever it is one of the best on the box .i miss it so much . All the. Actors are great .my cousin and I loved it .kind regards Eileen .
