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?
Well, that will leave more room n the schedule for “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, “Real Brainless Whores of Milwaukee”, and “American Morons”. Soon enough, PBS will be the only place that people with IQ’s above room temperature will be able to find anything worth watching.
Please reconsider. We LOVE this show!!!!!
Dear executives,
I firmly disagree in you horrible decision of cancelling forever. I am a teen and there is not much for me out there. Forever is NOTHING like that garbage out there. Forever is my all time favorite show and I’m very interested in what happens next. Please rethink you decision and renew forever and please start a new episode. Thx
I love this show it’s so interesting please please do more!!!
I love this show and if they cancel it then I will never watch TV again!
I’m going to miss this show SO much. This is one of my favorite tv shows and I really hope they bring it back or at least have another network, not Fox, to do the show.
I loved Forever. I will be going to bed early on Tuesday evenings.
one of my favorites i cant believe they cancelled this show.
The show “Forever” was a fun and interesting show. I think it should be renewed.

One of my favorite shows, will definitely be missed!!! 🙁 (Unless another network picks it up?!?!?!?!)
I loved this show, Damm it!!!
I am so tempted to stop watching television all together. Every time I love a show it gets cancelled during the first season. Forever is a wonderful show. Great actors, a story line that makes you want to see the next episode. They just don’t give shows a chance these days. I really hate to see this one go.
I think the show had a great storyline with a lot of potential still to come I do not think it should be canceled it should be allowed to develop
I’m not a big TV watcher, but this show captured my imagination. ABC should give this one another shot and give it a chance to catch on.
What a disappointment was my f avorite show acting fabulous will be missed
