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?
Here is a Facebook link to try and rally fans to band together and bring back the show.

Not often do we get a show that is entertaining, smart, and touches the heart with a note of mystery. Please Please Please, ABC renew. Or hope some other media will pick up.
We do have a quite following.
ABC what the hell are you thinking lately? You keep the most pointless racists shows and cancelled Forever?! I am extremely disappointed. Forever needs to be brought back, because not only was it interesting but it was different from all the rest.
#bringbackforever
it is just me are mad of abc of cancelled forever, almost everyone is supermad that you cancel the best show forever!!!!!!! bring it back!!!!!!!!!
Forever was the ONLY show I watched on Tuesdays-Please bring it back-it was well written and the plots were great. I am in the 60-65 age group-there is so little to watch right now.
Please bring it back! I loved that show, taping it to watch at an earlier time another day. It was well written, not the crap that I’ve seen lately. This show has depth! Please please please!!! I’m in the 18-49 crowd and love it!
Bring this show back! Well acted and very entertaining. Some times things have to settle a bit before you can begin to see the positive results. The show was different and surely we as viewers have had to put up with bad shows before that should have been cancelled but were not. Who do you have rating your polls, robots?
I am so disappointed. This was the highlight of my TV week. This show was decent and so much better than those crappy reality shows and silly things that ABC keeps renewing. Why not cancel Grey’s Anatomy? And this show was not trashy like Scandal. I’ll never figure this one out.
I really liked this show. It was very well written and very interesting. Henry’s life was so intriguing. Everything he has seen and gone through. I really hope another network picks it up.
ABC you basically suck – stop cancelling good shows.
THE HOLE FAMILY COULD WATCH THIS. UNLIKE MOST SHOW.
THE CANCELLING JUST SHOW HOW OUT OF TOUCH ABC IS….
This was a great show. I really enjoyed the plot and characters. I rarely made it to 10 pm to watch, but always watched the next day or the weekend. I hope another network will pick it up. The season finale was a great ending to keep us going for next season, and now nothing. Very disappointing!
Big mistake………….networks keep adding trash reality shows w/ no talent
This was /is a great series …..very few shows i view on the big 3 major networks …….one less hour of my time will be allotted to abc. Too bad this is a CRIME.
Please Netflix or Hulu pick up Forever. It was a well-acted and creative show. ABC – it was the ONLY SHOW I WATCHED ON YOUR CHANNEL – too bad for your advertisers because I am in your beloved 18-49 demographic with a generous income and no kids to spend it on.
I loved the show and looked forward to it every week. The cast was great and the show had a lot of potential. Please bring it back!
Forever was one the BEST shows on!!! All you people had to do was move it to another night!! There are some shows that have been renewed that shouldn’t have. “How 2 get away with murder”, ” blackish”, “fresh off the boat”, Nashville”, ” the middle”, “the Goldberg’s” & “beyond the tank”. #saveforever #bringbackforever
