Doctor Henry Morgan may be immortal but his TV show isn’t. ABC has cancelled the Forever TV series after one season of 22 episodes.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner (Ioan Gruffudd) can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out the how or the why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The series debuted last September to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.26 million viewers. The ratings grew for episode two but they started falling after that.
Though the Forever series had some very passionate fans, that devotion didn’t translate into positive ratings. The numbers were pretty poor for much of the season and the show ended up averaging a 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million viewers.
As a result, ABC has decided against ordering a second season of Forever. The last episode aired earlier this week and unfortunately left viewers with lots of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Did you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on with a larger audience?
I really liked the show. It was the only one on ABC that I even watch. I guess now I won’t be watching ABC at all.
I really felt this show was a true hit, well written, well acted and had great potential for more growth, suspense, and entertainment. My daughters (17 and 14) and myself were dedicated and continue to watch the shows that we recorded on DVR with the aniticipation for its return (all hopes now squashed)!!! How does ABC know who does and does not watch the shows! I believe those numbers are fabricated when they don’t want to continue a show with substance. It was great to see a well written show that didn’t show the characters in and out of bed… Read more »
not happy about this. I love this show.
Bring back Forever!!! I loved this show. What are you producers thinking???
I loved this show and I know so many friends that also loved it. I am SO disappointed that it is cancelled. Sometimes a show needs a couple of seasons to build a fan base. Why give up so quick?
I am VERY disappointed that Forever was canceled! I’ve been so anxious to see a 2nd season and I was just sickened upon hearing that there won’t be one. Forever is clean, interesting, witty, a bit of suspense, and mystery. I watch a lot of shows and this was my new favorite.
I will be sure not to watch another series on ABC. I really enjoyed watching ‘Forever’ and now I know it wont be coming back, neither will I
I am seriously disappointed in the cancelling of Forever. It was the only reason I wanted to stay up later.
To bad!!! I loved the show………..
I absolutely loved this show. Never missed an episode. I noticed the upcoming premieres, but did not see anything for forever. I am very disappointed. It was very well written show. The story line was great. The characters were great. It was a great mix of drama and action. The fans are left with so many unanswered questions.
I am sincerely sorry that “Forever” has been canceled!! It was one of the ONLY shows that my 10 year old daughter and I could watch on TV that didn’t concentrate on sex or curse words. PLEASE reconsider bringing back a show like this or THIS SHOW so families can actually watch tv together again!!!
Please please please bring back season 2 of forever.
Not impressed especially since I watched it on CJOH in Canada I don’t watch ABC or many American channels for that matter cause our channels carry their shows….so HOW do they know ppl stopped watching or didn’t watch?! HOW do they know it got bad reviews? ! It was awesome so BRING IT BACK!!!
i loved the series but its shocking that its been canceled. wht can we do ourselves to bring it back!!! i m from india and used to watch this show on youtube and now ABC’s judgemental answer about the ratings to off-air this show but i still belive this show must go on fOreVeR!
