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 can,t believe it every time something comes on I like they cancel it. I really liked this series I use to run home to see it .Sometimes I got invited out and wouldn,t go because I was afraid I might miss the show .I love that show so please think of putting it back on .Thank u
I am very sad about the cancellation! Forever was one of my absolute favorites.
I can’t believe that people did not like this series. Must be something wrong with the watchers… Please, uncancel!
All of my friends watch Forever and are disapointed in ABC’s decision to cancel this show. We are not counted as part of the Nielsen’s rating they based their decision on. Something is wrong with ABC.
Can’t believe Forever has been cancelled! One of my favourite shows on TV, guess it’s time to stop watching ABC. Hopefully another station will be smarter and pick it up for more seasons.
Was my and many of my friends favorite show this year. It is hard to find anything decent on ABC to watch
I enjoyed the time that Forever was on TV. Forever had a great story line and the interaction between the characters was fun to watch. Move the story line along faster and it could be the best. Sad to hear the show was cancelled. I as well will not watch reality shows.
Please don’t cancel series.
I loved this show!!! What can be done to change ABC’s decision? Any other network interested in picking series up- please……….
Our whole family loves the show Forever and we are upset that it has been cancelled. There are getting to be fewer and fewer shows that are not degrading to watch but still very interesting and well written. This show has great characters and interesting actors, is well-made, and always has interesting plots that don’t depend on getting dirtier and more graphic and filthy as the season goes on like almost every other good starting series. I like the setting, also, with going back and forth in time. Most series of this kind that I have loved are soon cancelled… Read more »
ABC, you suck for canceling this show!!!!!!!!
I am so upset! Forever was the best new show this year. My husband and I both loved it and watched every episode. How could they just end it like that?! I want to slap the idiot who made the call to cancel it.
I am so disappointed in ABC Forever was a great show, since ABC canceled Forever I guess it’s time I cancel ABC…..
We watch it every week and were extremely distraught to read that it’s being cancelled.
Please reconsider your decision and bring it back.
Definitely a mistake to cancel this one, stories were good, interaction between characters was good. I don’t want to see Abe gone, but someone (hmmm?) needs to take his place helping the good doctor….
I am really livid that they canceled this show! It was my absolute favorite. Please change your mind about canceling! Or someone else pick up the show!
I agree, cant there be a petition or something?
any word on a petition?
