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?
We really liked this show and never missed an episode. We wish it had continued. Not much on TV really that is exciting and entertaining.
Desapointed Forever is not returning for season 2 . Great show always made sure to have it scheduled on my Dvr .
The story and actors were on point .
A pretty clean show. Me and my whole family loved it. Not 2 happy with your new fall shows. ABC u do this every time take off the good one’s put on the violence and sex. Shame on u.
ABC is famous on cutting great series this is no different. I seem to like more content on ABC then the other big 2 but if they just cancel good show after good show what’s the point
I didn’t think I would like the premise, been done before more or less. But I actually loved it. The characters were well thought out. The plots imaginative. I was hooked. I wish they would bring it back.
I was checking my TiVo looking for the upcoming premiere date. I am shocked, this was such a good show. We can have 15 seasons of Survivor but this show has only 1 season. What is wrong with network television.
Forever was a GREAT series. One series isn’t a long enough run to determine its success or failure. Give it another shot.
please please please bring season two.
I loved this show. Had to watch it on “on demand” because I get up early.
Really think this show should still be on. Should not have been taken off.
What no FOREVER this fall? Finally looking at the line up and shocked to see it was not on. I better hurry and watch it once more online before it disappears forever. PS CRISTELA was also A GREAT comedy. I finally had my siblings tuning in on Fridays.
I am in the demographic, I’m 42yrs old and loved this show, i.e. the storyline, characters and actors! I have a DVR, never bothers me when two shows I like compete, we can watch it that night or any other time we choose and re-watch it!
I am beginning to think I am a Jinx. Every show I really like, gets cancelled; i.e. Longmire, which Netflix I’ve heard has picked up, The Bridge, The Unit was a real favorite, could not understand that being cancelled.
We really liked and enjoyed watching Forever. It was a very interesting show. We waited inpatiently every week to see what would happen next. Forever was a very different show from other series. Honestly we are very disappointed because we were waiting with great joy to see Forever again.Please bring it back for at least one more season because you left all of us the viewers hanging on what would of happened if Dr.Henry Morgan told Jo about himself.
You must be joking! So much junk on tv today, but this show was an adventure every week. Even my teenagers watched it with me. I am shocked to find it is not on this fall. Huge mistake ABC.
Forever sould have never been cancelled. It’s a great show, it just needed more time to catch on. Change the day or time, or both. Maybe Saturday’s, I have had some dull nights for TV when I decided to hang around the house on a Saturday. . This is truly a good show, given a bit more time, it could have made the top 20. The concept is unique and fascinating, I am crushed Forever will never get the chance to show America what a great show it really is!! Much luck to the cast, I wish you all the… Read more »
It came on the air going up against Person of Interest. Person of Interest was getting more intense and was hard to choose. I hoped to catch Forever when the reruns came on. Person of Interest has become more caught up on shooting and dangerous intrigue. I got tired of it and was going to watch Forever’s next season. So sorry about that. I would love to see have another season. Plus if it was on another night would have been great. If it was on thursday I would have chosen it over Elementary. Wednesday would have been good too.
