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?
Loved this show…bring it back! Also, if you liked Forever, see new movie Life of Adeline in. Theaters now….same. premise.
Seriously, WHY ARE YOU GOING TO CANCEL THE SHOW?! I am from the Philippines. Please. Let FOREVER continue. It’s the only series I really love to watch. The actors and actresses are just amazing! The truth they reveal about life; the emotional struggle each individual has, the fears we need to face, the joy we experience, the love we each want and I could go on to prove that this is just so ridiculous if Season 2 won’t happen.
One of the best shows on television. Wj
Hat are the people at ABC thinking!!!!
I am sad, this was my favorite show couldn’t wait for it to come on every week. Oh well I’ll just start downloading my shows
stupid ABC, cancel this show….. only disney crap…….
Very disappointed in ABC’s decision in cancelling Forever, and the logic of renewing Galavant makes no sense. Both series have 4+ million viewers, yes a low number than when both series premiered. Forever can still explode with large number of viewers if ABC backed it similar to what CBS did with past mystery series (e.g. Diagnosis Murder)
Just watched the last show and now just found out it will not longer be another series!!!!! This was one of out favorite shows that my family and I watched together!!! This needs to come back on!!
I know! My family & me loved watching this together too! They need to come out with another season! This is the only show that I know of that feels like an awesome “Sherlock Holmes” show right now
I LOVED this show! Ioan Gruffudd is great, and all the characters are very likeable. I think the network should try it in another time slot rather than just cancelling it.
We LOVE this show!! We record it on the DVR because it comes on at an inconvenient time… But we literally can’t wait for it to come on each week. I am Sooooo bummed and so is my daughter & son-in-law.
I do hope they’ll reconsider canceling it, and moving it to a better time slot. I think it would have done quite well if it had come on in the 7 to 8 time slot..
Just really sucks to lose a great show, and I wish we could change it.
I am from Portugal and totally love this show it’s one of my favorites I can’t believe it was canceled it has so much quality. Extremely disappointed
Very dissapointed this show is cancelled, the twist and plot of the stories is amazing.. No such good show like it nowadays..
Please don’t. Cancel this show. It is one my husband and I watch every week. I just think it is in a bad time slot. Try a different time slot for another season. PLEASE.
I love this show. I usually watched on Hulu because it was in a bad time slot. Why do the networks cancel so many great shows. Very very disappointed.
This was literally one of my favorite shows on tv right now!! This show and Grimm!! I am so heart broken that it is cancelled!!! I loved the storyline, the acting better than most and I feel like it had a LOT of potential!!! Why did they have to cancel!! 🙁 I hope another channel picks it up! I really really do!!
Very sad! I love the show only thing was it was always played at bed time and now I guess I’ll simply just go to bed. No reason to ever watch ABC!
Believe it or not, some people might learn something, from the medical side of the show, about how people got killed. We have tried to watch several other shows, just to completely abandon them due to all the un-interesting garbage. I firmly believe it is a very bad decision to cancel this show. Just not too many GOOD shows to watch anymore.
