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 I love a show it gets cancelled. I think ABC is making a big mistake cancelling this series out. Please bring it back. Dr. Henry Morgan is wonderful and so is the entire cast. I do not understand the reasoning behind this. There are a lot of fans out there who watch this show. I do not understand how you decide what to cancel and what to renew. Wrong decision on this one!!
I couldn’t agree with you more! Incredibly wrong decision here. Such a wonderful cast of characters and storylines, and ABC just hung them out to dry. I’ve felt like Henry and Abe and Jo and EVERYONE
I couldn’t agree with you more! Incredibly wrong decision here. Such a wonderful cast of characters and storylines, and ABC just hung them out to dry. I’ve felt like Henry and Abe and Jo and EVERYONE else had become a member of my family.
I’m very disappointed with this decision. I looked forward every week for the episodes. Great cast, interesting storyline. I really loved the show, bad, bad decision.
i watched it non stop 2-3 days all the serious, its one of the best so far , i do not know why ABC canceled the second serious, perhaps their marketing is not that enough, i’m a movie lover but i only heard abt ” forever” from one of my friend who actually not a fan of serious, i think they should continue to build up the fans around the world
No don’t cancel Forever. I love that show. It would do much better in a different time slot. I had to watch it on line all season because of the time…it has a great plot and the characters are amazing. Please reconsider.
Never missed an episode, I will miss this show. ABCs loss.
Loved the show it had a unique plot line kept you involved I the story line till the end I am very sorry it has been canceled more reason to go to amazon tv.
Another show that showed a bit of intelligence cancelled. Guess if the show requires an attention span of more than 15 seconds, no one is interested in it.
This was the ONLY show I watched on ABC. In the past year it has become my favorite show surpassing NCIS and Bones which have become a bit stale.
I guess soon all intelligent TV shows will have disappeared.
Please renew this show, it’s one of the better new shows on. My mother also loves this show.
This show could go a long way with their story line. Love it
Keep it good show
This is tragic – an excellent, original show with great story lines and class cast. I was really getting into this series – there aren’t any others at the moment that are anywhere near as good. Clearly from now on I will avoid watching an ABC show until it gets to series 3..I can then at least enjoy a series that has had a chance to develop.
I can only hope that in this case someone will see sense.. I won’t hold my breath.
I personally loved the show and the story line and am disappointed to hear that it was canceled. I believe the late time slot was a reason for the low ratings. Even as a fan I myself had to DVR it on occasion.
This is one of the best shows on TV. I can’t believe that it has been cancelled. There are so many other shows that should be cancelled. This is NOT one of them.
Please don’t cancel “Forever”. Give it a chance. One of the few shows I still watch.
I love this show. Love the characters. What are u thinking?
I really liked this show. Please don’t cancel!
