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?
please bring back a season 2 of forever,i loved this show.watched it on sky box sets.
I know networks look at tv shows as products and they need numbers. ‘Forever’ has this special depth that cannot be compared to CSI or other investigations shows. This is a classy, well made show. I am re-watching the season over and over. If you don’t know how to market and handle the show, sell it to another network to continue the journey.
Please renew the television show FOREVER. The storyline is unique and interesting. It’s not excessively violent or gross which helps the viewer focus on the story and the characters. It’s thought-provocating and intelligent. The father-son chemistry between Ioan Gruffudd and Judd Hirsch works. Being a medical examiner and an antiques dealer is brillant! Perfect covers for who they really are. Please renew.
U need to bring Forever back. Totally love this show!
Seriously fire who ever said this show should be canceled. You suck. This show was GREAT!!!!!! I couldn’t wait for it to be on.
You, ABC has no sense of good judgement. How could you judge this one amazing story on the base of ratings. we registered these wonderful stories and been watching again and again..Even my 11 years old son,violence, fast game addicted normal boy found this drama is different with any other story and is been watching almost everyday one episode after another repeatedly. This one has to come back absolutely. This is the story you want to watch again even after 10 years later.
I started watching forever only a few days back and loved it. Please we want season 2 to be aired.
I loved Forever and have been waiting for it to come back on. I am so disappointed to find out that it was cancelled. It really should have been renewed. As far as I am concerned, it was just getting good.
I only found out about ‘Forever’ in the past month. I loved it and was saddened to hear it’s not yet been renewed. In a world were violence and gore seems to entice so many, it’s nice to have an intellectual based entertainment program. Like so many, i know over time more people will find this series (and wonder why it hadn’t received more advertising and coverage???) and wonder why on earth it was stopped in its prime. Yes ok, the interviews of suspects in the show were sadly lacking but overall it was nice to escape normality for a… Read more »
We fans have been trying to get this show pickup since last year. Is there any hope? Series has a huge fan base. We Love this show. Can anyone suggest how we can be heard?
very unique story line with the great casts Ioan G and Judd H but the lady cop totally has no chemistry with Ioan G
Bring it back it was so good just like clue and it should have been advertised better. I loved it and watched every episode.
With all of the trash on television these days, and this gets cancelled? The one show that isn’t full of sex and vulgarity. Time to get rid of our TV sets and resort to board games.
Loved the show but I stumbled upon it. Think it could’ve been advertised better
So sad it got canceled!! Was my favourite show!
