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?
Loved the show. Sad it won’t be on
for season 2.
Wife and always waited for the show forever to come on. One of the best shows out there. More of a family show instead of that reality crap. ABC, your entrainment pretty much sucks. Way to throw away your core audience. See if your baby boomers buy from your advertisers. Bring back the show and drop the crap you air.
Great Show, Bad Move ABC
Truly gutted this show has finished. Top quality show such a big shame……booooo to abc
Most of us fan have stated how much we like this show and yet none of the networks feel supportive of their TV base. TNT, CW any other station feel the love from this show “FOREVER” RENEW IT PLEASE!!
Yes I liked the show and have been waiting for the next season, but I now found out it was all in vain.
It is too bad because it was a good show.
I wished they would poll the real people who watch the show. We in Canada count too, but I have yet to be asked what shows I like and watch and I am 71 years old.
ABC..you suck! What a great show. With all the stupid reality shows out there this was such a refreshing change in programming. The relationship with Henry and Jo was starting to make progress and the history of Henry was so interesting. As someone else said this was not advertised very well unfortunately. Anytime I mentioned to someone about the show they had never heard about it..why is that? But everyone knows what the Kardashians had for breakfast! Such a waste!
ABC so dropped the ball on this show #FOREVER . This show is one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. It had me at the edge of my seat each week. .couldn’t wait until the next episode. I have stopped watching ABC there is anything but crap on TV. Bring back my #FOREVER. I have to have more of doc Morgan best show and storytelling in a while. ABC bad decision-making. #FOREVER a #FOREVER fan. Hopefully someone else is smart enough to pick it up for more season’s ASAP #FOREVER BACK
I really loved this show. So annoyed it has been cancelled. With all the mindless cr*p that is shown, why remove a good show like this one. 🙁
Forever It’s such a fabulous show that never got promoted properly & a lot of overseas viewers, came to it late, after ABC had already decided not to renew… With all the crap that’s being shown on TV these days, Forever was a refreshing change of pace… With intelligent, well written stories, you were drawn into another world with Dr Henry Morgan & Abe… With every episode, you wanted to find out more about their intriguing relationship, what brought them together & the woman (Abigail) that was their wife & mother… As Henry was solving cases alongside of Detective Jo… Read more »
One of my favorite shows. Bring it back!
