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?
WHY CAN’T ANOTHER TV COMPANY BUY THE RIGHTS AND SHOW THIS SERIES, IT’S CBS’S LOSS THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO THEIR VIEWER’S ON THIS
why has this show been cancelled? it is far better than most of the shows on TV. it was refreshing and all the character were so likable. time to bring back some shows like this. i really miss it,
I loved this show! With so much inferior programming, it was a pleasure to have a program I could enjoy. Do you only care about the younger audience?
I loved the show and I am sad to see that it was cancelled. I just looked up some petitions on change.org and signed all I could find. This one has quite a lot of people who signed. Think about it. It would be amazing if the show returned. https://www.change.org/p/warner-brothers-warner-brothers-fans-love-the-tv-show-forever?recruiter=61847808&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Such a good show!! Why cancel it!! Give it better advertising! Don’t quit on it yet!
I’m so sad. Loved everybody on the show. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!
Well whatever reason it was, the show deserved a a second or even a third season on each 13 episodes to give it the closing it needed.
There are so many awful series out there what don’t get cancelled and this one is, what a shame!
We think it’s an excellant show. So many different hooks. We think they cancelled because there were not sex and nudity. We are so glad there where no sex and nudity cause most shows try to make it with sex and nudity. We are tired of all the the sex an d nudity shows. This show got us hooked without any sex and nudity. Thank you for writing such a good show. Plz do not take this show away!!!!!!!. Not many writers can write a good show without SN.
they should definitely bring back the show. It was/is fantastic. I was hooked on it. I am saddened it is gone. BRING IT BACK!!!
This is the best show, the whole family dropped everything to watch it.
Wow what a let down and I’m still checking back here and there hoping that someone somewhere will put forever back on as a middle aged person there’s not a whole lot on TV any more for people our age and this show was wonderful I never missed it now because there’s so much crap on TV we pay outrageous prices for television and still end up having to rent movies cause some idiot had rather see a bunch of drunks running around humping everything rather than sit down and watch something that’s good for a change we want something… Read more »
It’s not what we want , just because we like it and make sure that we are home in time to watch it means nothing , One more season would have been good .
I am very disappointed to hear Forever was cancelled.
