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?
this show was awesome!!!!! had me on the edge of my seat every episode!!! cant believe they cancelled it!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry but ratings keep a show on i liked the show but you have to live in reality
Im absolutely gutted!!!!!! bring it back please!!!!!!!
BIG BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! Loved this show and to end like this is a nightmare, please bring it back or someone else!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe they’ve cancelled this show!! please bring it back!! so many other tired shows out there this one was so great, I was super looking forward to the next season!
Please give “Forever” a second chance! I absolutely love this show!!!
Great show compared to most out there. Entertaining without all the sex and violence the other shows have!
Bring back forever!!! It is such a good show… At least let them end the series better… I want to see Jo’s reaction when he tells her. I want to know why he lives forever!
I hope CBS picks this show up and puts it in the right slot to give it justice. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show. What will we do without our weekly Henry adventure? This show needs a chance.
Please give the show another chance. It is such a great show with great actors. Put it in a better time slot. More people will see it and then when it is established then move it. It will work if you give it a chance. Put it on the same night as Grey’s or Scandal or Nashville or Castle and then it will be just as popular. PLEASE!
I love this show!!! It’s one of the best on TV next to Castle. Please don’t cancel it.
please do not cancel forever we love this show
Can’t they give it another chance? We are in South Africa and LOVE the show. So little good entertainment out there -have they ever heard of the concept of the long tail? It might have had a smaller impact in the beginning, but could have grown over the long term. Seriously, I mean Heroes started with a bang and then the more seasons they had, the more they lost the plot! Great shows like Flash Forward and Forever appeal to a niche market – but this niche market is perhaps less into short-term thrills and spills and rather into the… Read more »
