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 love the show would love to see it come back
Forever was the best program on television for quite some time. The television executives have no imagination.
Come on! BRING IT BACK!! I WANT MOOOREEE!!! I’m from Poland and we had this show broadcasted later on AXN and it’s GREAT!!!! You shoud see how much points/votes it got (depending on which website you are it’s comparable to “Bones” on filmweb both have 7.7/10). If you must take down some show then chose different one. FOREVER MUST STAY!!!!!!
I think ABC -F t up I loved that show .
Watched the whole series over a few days. Couldn’t stop once I started!
Bring it back. I need to know what happens.
please bring it back. you had it in the wrong time slot for you “ratings”
Why are some good series always cancelled? :(((((
It annoys me that these TV companies cancel great shows leaving unanswered questions for us viewers. One season isnt enough to judge whether the show is good enough! If they’re so adamant at cancelling a show then as least run another season to finish the story grrrrr!!!!
BRING IT BACK. It’s a great show. One of the best i seen. It worth a season 2. Please. I realy want to see season 2
We are in our 60 most other shows are bad plots, acting,etc. So very disappointed the show was canceled. Great plots and history, with superior actors.
Please BRING IT BACK! It was a great show. Great Acting!
We loved this show! Sad it was cancelled!
This was a great show! ABC should bring it back!
Surprised this was cancelled. Didn’t know until the fall line up aired. Good acting by established actors with movie credentials. Enjoyed the show and would like to see it return. ABC goofed here!
Thoroughly enjoyable series – how can they leave us with so many unanswered questions!
