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?
I really enjoy the Forever TV series. Yes, I am older than their 18-49 Demographic, but the TV execs need to look at the baby boomer ratings for this show as it appeals tobus.
Dude bring it back u cant just end it like this u ass holes
This is crap. Love the show. Sherlock Holmes meets highlander. You are idiots for canceling this show. I wonder what garbage show you’ll pick to replace it. Maybe another stupid over played American idol spin off. ABC sucks. Flawed ratings system!
My husband and I just loved “Forever”! We can’t believe it has been canceled since it was clever with great characters and oh so much more substantive than most of the mind-numbing drivel on TV these days. We always looked forward to the show – please reconsider this decision!
I cannot believe this wonderful show is being cancelled! My husband and I watched it every week and loved the show’s idea and all the of the coast members. If you knew my husband there are only about two shows a week that he goes out of his way to watch. The times when they go back in Henry’s and Abe’s past were so entertaining as was the present times. I could easily give you a list of “crap” that could be cancelled with no one to notice.
It has been along time since a show was so awesome, and entertaining, love the characters, ABC, stop cancelling your best shows…..you are making a lot of mistakes lately on your choices, you should had put it on another time slot….you never do know what shows you have that are good…SHAME ON YOU ABC…..even my grandkids love this show!!!! worst mistake EVER. learn to leave your good family shows alone, try that for once…..#save FOREVER #Bring back FOREVER
This is BULL…i already don’t watch have the crap on this TV station and the one show i do watch you cancel it. No wonder people hate ABC. #bringforeverback
We both enjoyed this show so much. It was interesting, mystery and history. We just started to see a love interest develope. We always watched it and recorded if we weren’t home. Please reconsider canceling this show!
Great show. Can’t believe you canceled it. What were you thinking! Please rethink that –
I really enjoyed the show Forever!! So sorry and disappointed it has been cancelled!! Please reconsider and save this show!!
ABC used to stand tall in support of “family” driven ratings. You didn’t give this series a fair chance.
Forever is one of the best show I have seen in a long time. The last episode was so good and it left us wanting more. I don’t understand why it was cancelled! Please reconsider!
I LOVED this show!!! I love the Sherlock reference, loved the cast, the way it was, written, the mystery. ABC, you cannot leave it hanging like this. DON’T cancel. With all the crap on TV, this is one of the few shows that’s not. BRING back FOREVER!!!!!
I absolutely loved this show!!! I looked forward to it every Tuesday night. Abc is crazy for canceling it. Instead maybe they should swap the time or day. For me, a mother with 3 kids, I’m tired at 10pm. But I stay up to watch because it’s a great show for all ages. Also, who doesn’t like a mysterious hot docor!! Please bring this show back. Sincerely, a FOREVER fan!!!
I agree, it was a shame that ABC cancelled Forever. I have been waiting all season for Henry to share his secret. They always seem to cancel the different show. Hostage, Believe, Being Human are just some that come to mind.
