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?
Once again ABC has cancelled a TV program I truly enjoyed. Maybe I’ll stick with CBS. ABC doesn’t see a good thing, ask the fans!!!!!!!!
Please reconsider. “Forever” was one bright spot left on tv. It’s very easy to just shut off and do something else.

My wife and I was very disappointed in ABC cancelling FOREVER.
I hope that W.B. continues this series to another network
We only watch local channels a few nights a week and Forever was one of them.
It was actually nice to watch a show that had no chance of coming true. Unlike secrets and lies where a child has been murdered.
Forever is one of the best TV series in a long time. I feel it should not be cancelled but given a better time slot so more viewers can discover Forever.
Forever needs to be renewed. It is so unique and it is gaining more and more fans. Please reconsider and let it have a second season!!!!
We loved this show and all the actors. What a shame with some of the garbage you have on you pull this one. Where do you get your information?
I was we were part of the rating system awhile back. Send us another form to fill out.
I loved this show and I’m very upset that it’s been cancelled. I’m 35 so I fit into the age preference. My Mother also watched and she’s 58. You made a mistake canceling the show. Bring Forever Back!!!

Original story. Great concept. Cast was great. We really enjoyed the writing and the story of the seasons finale. Give it a 2nd consideration. Fan bay will grow. If not to bad. But high regards to the actors and writers. Thanks for a entertaining concept. Will be stuck with 2 broke girls. Crap!!!!!
My husband and family are so disappointed in your cancelling this wonderful show. It has been a wonderful story, good for our family to watch together. And there is so little of that around! What can we do to get you to change your mind? We never missed any episode. Please don’t disappoint us and bring it back. We are very sad.
It is inconceivable that a show with such an interesting premise, excellent cast of characters, and cleverly scripted episodes would be cancelled after just the first season. One has to assume that its demise lies with the fact that there are not enough viewers with the attention span to appreciate the plots.
bring back forever
I love this show..I always looked forward to Tuesday night. Please don’t cancel the show.
