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?
Every time you have a great show …they get rid of it. ..idiots
Hearing this news upsets me. I am in their target demographic (I’m 33) and I LOVED this show. Great writing, superb creativity, so much life! I hope another network picks this show up.
This was a great show with wonderful actors. This should not be cancelled! Should be renewed!
Get lost ABC, you cancel something you didnt fight for. So you’ll get what you truly diserves. Sure continu to runs Stupids shows and bring more stupidity to your programs until you get all the morons to see your channel. Good luck in the futur because i wont stare for a seconde to ABC channel’s if there is no renewed. And if my count are kinda good, we are like 150k people to think like that. Cancel a good show, for what, bring more shows , comedies like Black-ish or stupidity things like that. We want a proper show. A… Read more »
I can not believe they cancelled Forever. It is a great show. What is ABC thinking.
It was heartbreaking. It was a mistake. Another network would be smart to pick it network. I love this show and fell in love with it. Please give forever another home.
We love this my daughter and loved to watch this show together, is different and interestig. Now that Henry was about to tell ditective Martinez his secret ABC decided to cancel the show when it was getting good.
Forever is a great show. Witty, intelligent, funny, quirky. It needed more promotion, reconsider and save it.
Why is it the good shows get canceled. Forever was a great show. If the network didn’t like on Tuesday nights then change the night to air. But if your going to cancel shows that have a running story in it at LEAST have the decency to have the last show end the ongoing story not just leave it hanging. If the viewers mean anything to your network, you would end the story and not leave it with a cliff hanger for us to expect another season.
so dont cancel this show…..
All this because ABC prefers Stupid people with their reality **** things. They are more able to think like them. Deny us, a proper show. A good one though.. Such a shame !! And yeah why release all episodes after the two first showed up. Just to end the story now. They havnt defend their show, they just give it a ****** place to be broadcast, and now cuz of the “viewers” they cancel it. GET LOST ABC. You lost one viewer.
Wonderful program. Superb acting and writing. Entire family and friends enjoyed it. B
Hope another network is smart enough to pick it up
i think it all has to do with the fact that the show was available on any torrent website 1 day before it aired on ABC. the show is pretty good and it shouldn’t be cancelled
Not everyone uses torrent (viruses) or Netflix or Hulu (pay even more than what we’re currently paying). These are TV shows and they should be watched on TV.
Unfortunately, I believe the timeframe was the demise of this brilliant show. The acting, the writing, the chemistry of the characters is some of the best on television right now. The storyline is so refreshing; very different than what is currently on television. By-the-way, isn’t there a movie out now about a woman who is immortal? Hmmm…
I love this show , please do not cancel this show . Good shows are being replacement by moronic imitations.
Once again ABC making another crummy decision!! This show was actually interesting. I enjoyed the show (ALOT)!!! RENEW, REEW, RENEW!!!! (This website is SO slow!!! I believe if you don’t type what TV series likes they sabotage the site and thereby discouraging my comments!!!!!! This SUCKS!!!
Why do y’all always cancel the good shows???? I love this show……
Noooooooo! I watched this loyally! !!! Total shame
