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?
Forever and Castle are the only two good shows ABC has going for them. I can’t believe they cancelled Forever and left us with so many questions! This is why I don’t like watching the first season of any new show expecially on ABC they’re known for canceling series I always say wait for season 3 at least then you know you have a better than average chance have a showe sticking around for a while and then you can always go back and watch reruns!
I think it’s disrespectful that a network would just leave its fans just “hanging” like that…!!!
At least give us a few more episodes so we can have closure!!!!!!
Really bad business.
One of the few shows I watched every week live. And I was just the sort of peron the advertisers wanted to have.
Everytime I find a show I absolutely love, it gets canceled! Why? This was an awesome TV show.
So silly to cancel Forever after one season. So many other shows which are the same story get a second or third chance. This show had likable characters, really good acting, and interesting plots. Please bring it back, I was hoping to see commercials for this coming soon and was so disappointed when I started s arching and learned it was cancelled.
I am so upset, I’ve been searching trying to find out when it starts, and devastated to find out it’s canceled. Forever was my favorite weekly show, I never missed it and really hope it will come back on. PLEASE
Forever should be continued
I think that it is a really good show. It has a very different angle on how to make supernatural shows. The plot was unlike any other show I’ve seen. The story is good, the cast is amazing and it has made me rethink my taste for tv-shows. I think that it is really sad that this show has been cancelled, because it was really good and it is awful that the last episode leaves you with so many questions and the biggest cliffhanger EVER.
I would like to know why some shows get to build an audience and others get cacelled? Forever was wonderful show and should have been given more time. Your programers really don’t kno what they are doing!!!!!
I Loved this show and m sooooo disappointed with ABC
I am SO sad that this show was cancelled. I am hoping that maybe a cable station will offer to pick it up. The acting was so good, and the plots were amazing. Why can’t shows that don’t appeal to the 18-49 demographic get a little more time to get established? There are other groups besides that one that watch TV and spend money. Pretty soon there will be nothing but reality TV shows on, and I will have to stop watching TV entirely. Please Netflix or some cable channel out there, go after this great show.
To whom this may concern: My wife and I are very upset that this fabulous show was cancelled. It had a different twist that no other show has explored. The only hope we have is that another network picks up this show. In the mean time we are never viewing another show on the ABC network. Maybe if more fans and viewers did the same thing, they would not be so hasty in cancelling great shows when they could have cancelled all The Bachelor and Bachelorette shows. Christ those two shows are old and not worth watching as well as… Read more »
Loved this show! Hate it when networks cancel without closure for the fans!
Thats why you are always following the other networks in the ratings , because you always cancel the good shows. The demographics you are looking at are not the only ones watching tv. We watch more programs on CBS because they seem to know what people like and don’t cancel it. We rarely find a program that we like on ABC and then you cancel it. The only thing we watch on ABC now is Shield because it is the only thing that you have that is any good. So is it next to go ?
Forever was a great show . you are really stupid to cancel it but bring back shows such as Heroes 2
