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 loved that show and so wanted it to go one with them working together and her knowing the truth
So sorry to know that Forever was cancelled! I hope ABC reconsiders this cancellation! I will miss this show!!!!
I loved this show, we watched it every week faithfully. I am very disappointed, this was the best show on ABC. I guess I going to stick to the FOX network.
Forever was a great show Especially, enjoyed the historical aspect I agree with others that the reality tv has gotten out of hand and programs like Forever should be given more than 1 season to prove itself
Once again, another great tv show being cancelled. I am a devoted fan and , just became a Hulu member just to watch Forever…until it was cancelled.
Why not at least give us closure, 1-2 more episodes to end the show properly. Unlike 666 Park Avenue last episode was so quick and poorly done.
Please give us fans a couple more episodes and end it proper.
Then please release to DVD in a timely manner so we can watch at home.
This show “Forever” was very enjoy able but was up against a very established show. The station should bring it back.
I’ve been wondering why this great tv show has not started up again. I really looked forward to seeing it each week. There are so many stupid programs on that it is difficult to find anything to watch. Forever kept you thinking as the mystery would unfold each week. Giving it just one season was not the best way to test market for it.
BRING IT BACK!!! PLEASE!!!!!! How about checking with the +50 demographic? We already know about the true reality of life! Give us somethings worth watching – like Forever!
I loved this show, which, unfortunately is a rare commodity these days. Interesting, always left you waiting for the next episode. Stupid reality shows about desperate people trying to get a date, how lame is that? Do any of those people look like they would have an issue getting a date?? Sad the good shows get the boot while the pathetic ones keep going.
Forever was a great series! I was looking forward to seeing the second season. Will it get picked up by another network?
WOW….another good show shot down to nonsense hollywood. Pure stupity once again as history tells us two of the greatest TV shows of our lifetime-Cheers and Seinfeld had dismal ratings in season 1 but became massive shows as years wore on. There is no skill or talent left in Hollywood “suit-ville”… what a disgrace cancelling this show.
Bring back Forever!!
I think ABC is stupid in cancelling this show. I guess they want to promote their agenda for the NEW WORLD ORDER!
Good luck with that one!
Sex, Stupidity, and just plain H—-S—- seems to pacify the masses!
And yes, this post will be weeded out.
Forever was a great show! I enjoyed viewing every single episode. It had a special story and I think it is worth to be continued.
As usual, another decent show has been cancelled.
I can not believe the junk that is out there…all those reality shows…they are awful. Why are there so many people stupid enough to be on those shows?
Forever had a great concept and great actors. Once again the powers to be have their heads up where the sun don’t shine.
UGH!!!! What is the point in even watching these shows only to have them canceled!
