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?
Bring back Forever!!! There are very few shows I watch on a regular basis. I recorded the whole series so I wouldn’t miss any episodes. My husband doesn’t like everything I watch so I record the shows I like and watch them when I can. I love this tv show!!!!!!!
Please Renew!
I think it’s very hard to judge a show by the Nielsen ratings when the show was “hit and miss” on the dates it would be on. Sometimes it was a week apart, other times 2 weeks or more. People were never sure when to tune in. One of the largest drops in viewer ratings was the beginning of baseball season – that shouldn’t even count in the ratings! In my opinion the network never really gave this show a true chance. It was a most marvelous show. I looked forward to my Tuesday evenings so much when I knew… Read more »
My husband and I were very saddened to hear Forever was cancelled! We loved Gruffud and
his character and show. The humor and plot were engaging and intelligent which we greatly
enjoyed. I hope Netflix will pick it up because it is so hard to find good, fun viewing anymore!!!
Love the show. DO not cancel please.
I can’t believe you took off the great show FOREVER,Is it really that DAMN hard to renew such a fantastic show????? UNREAL!!!!!! This is rediculous!!!!!!!!!! Give it another season, give the Fans at least that much!!
Good. This show was a cluster **** of repeating storylines and bad writing combined with bad acting on some parts.
It merely reused elements of different shows incapable of creating a story interesting enough to watch.
Please please please put forever show tv back its the best show ever . My entire family watch this amazing show we watch it on demand and we love it

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeanie CALL NETFLIX AND BEG they are very nice.
In this media where there is more garbage shows than acceptable shows, this series Forever is brilliant. I’m from Malaysia and immensely enjoy a refreshing shows like this with humour, suspense, emotion and some action. I can’t believe any network could discontinue such a great formula. Gruffud is an amazing actor and I enjoyed every episode. It’s such a blow to us fans who yearn for something as engaging as this. It should not be solely about the immediate ratings. This show has plenty of potential to be one of the best series of all time. Please reconsider. It only… Read more »
Are they “insane” ???? Are they out of their mind?
Forever was a great series that came after long time of typical BS shows. The series is UNIQUE, interesting, great plot, and great acting.
PLEASE, renew it.
I can’t believe FOREVER will end in one great season. The followers of this series agrees that it’s such an intelligent plot deserving an A to it’s creator. Wish to have more seasons to come.
Jay,
Call Netflix and tell them. They are very nice.
Fans please please call Netflix!!! That’s our chance of getting Forever picked up. I called and they are very nice!!! The more the callers the better chance we have. Let’s do something to get the show we love back on the air!!! Your call might be the call that makes the difference! Thanks so much!!!!
