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?
A really good series, no stupid dialogues and good actors in contrast to many other long lasting rubbish. But we must fight the intellect, let us cancel it. Let’s cancel it, let’s cancel it.
Was so happy to find a great new series amongst all the junk on TV…then the ultimate disappointment. Loved the show!
Just saw the season in Germany. Liked it pretty much and am sad to read, that there will be nothing more. Could have been good for another two or three seasons.
Please think about it again!
I’m so sad to know that the show wont go on. The mystery, the details, the medical/ historical/ philosophical background, the thrill, the charming Dr. Morgan…… it was all just so beautiful, so well put together. It should GO ON, it CAN’T BE CANCELED!
Oh, and by the way, my wife loves the sries too. It was fun to watch Forever episodes together. She wishes it could be Forever. ;0)
Shame… this really is a missed chance. It was good too watch, far better than average.
Need more of this stuff…..
I loved it!!! Didn’t get much publicity ….. it would of took off …..
This is the best Serie that i have seen. WHO ever Is responsible or have enough power, please make a Season two!
In Europe we love these Show!
This was one of my favorite shows and should NEVER HAVE BEEN CANCELLED!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!! OR BETTER YET, MOVE IT TO ANOTHER STATION!!!! Everything about it was EXCELLENT – the actors, the storyline, all of it!! I just can’t believe that more people would choose to watch the other GARBAGE that ABC has on and great shows like Forever are cancelled. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I NO LONGER WATCH ABC – MORNING OR NIGHT!
I am very very mad that you cancelled forever. I will miss the show and that is why you should bring it back.
Loved this show!!! Should have never been cancelled,please someone bring it back!!
It was one of the better shows on TV, that did not promote social agendas above entertainment. Most shows promote interracial relationships, homosexuality, over any story line.
I came across the show and bing watched it. Series 2 must be made
Having to be honest, i watched the show after cancelation and still not able to see why it was canceled in the first place. Excellent casting, great performance by actors, interesting stories ( — especially the Adam concept — ), easy to watch and a very nice sense of humor. Dont know if the decision was based on ratings or some other legal implication about copyrights (as i read somewhere) but i feel that this series had a lot to offer. Maybe another channel will pick up and continue to 2nd season. My feel is that canceling it is a… Read more »
