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?
No why did they cancel it. Bring it back please I love this show I want to know what happens after Henry tells joe it’s not fair bring it back please . I want season 2. Pleaseeee I love this show
Come on, this was the one cop show with a twist, a twist I loved. Season one’s cliff hanger lead me begging for more. Very disappointed this is ending and really wish that they will bring it back. I was really starting to get hooked on Jo and Henrys possible relationship too. You can’t leave us with this cliff hanger!!!
What a great pity was a great show absolutely loved it pity abc doesn’t give it a chance to prove it
Missed initially due to bad time slot, one of the best shows to have ever been cancelled. Surely someone will pickup after ABCs mistake.
one of the best shows on TV pleeeeeeeeese bring back more
We will always wonder why you didn’t notice the girl till the last episode. You seemed more interested in ABE than the cute detective with great hair.
I really, really liked this show, at least they gave us some closure in the season finally.
Very sad to see this go. My husband and I love this show, and think it should have been given one more season. Sometimes it takes a season or two for a show to catch on, and this one offers a great entertainment without all the gore that some shows have. Please consider bringing it back for another season.
Great show! My husband and I are very disappointed. We both feel that the show had No Promotion. The story line is different and very interesting and different than the normal shows out there. Hopefully, another network will pick-up Forever. Also, the language was not offensive. We will keep our fingers crossed that another network promotes thus show.
Ai agree with you a 100% percent
This show was unique and had a moral on what true love is about.
This is the best show on TV! I can not believe that ABC has cancelled it. Is there any chance of it returning? It has great actors and writing.
I think it was a really good show I liked it a lot and I’m sad it got cancelled but should not cancel it because there still is question I need answered. Stupid ABC!
I think it is one of the best shows on television. I would let my son watch it if he didn’t have to go to bed. I like the mystery of it and the humor, we need more shows like Forever. Please give it another chance a different time slot if you have too.
ABC you loused up again! My wife and I watch this show every week, and now you did this to us all over again . You pull good shows off and bring on more trash. Even the kids could watch this show ! Again thanks!
I really don’t think they even look at the ratings.. or think about how many people watch it either on demand, dvr’d or online..
Not everyone likes reality shows. Forever was a good clean show.. and had potential of being on of ABC’s betters shows.. IF they had given it a chance.. Hoping that another network picks it up and ABC regrets cancelling it for years to come!
One of the best shows on TV. I was fairly critical about getting involved in a series but it hooked me with a great cast and thoughtful plot lines, lovely encapsulated one-hour stories that blended well with the long-range story arc. Please rethink canceling this show. It’s sad that we will have to endure the latest throw-it-out-there-and-see-what-sticks drek next season… and the next…and the next.. when you already have a great show with personable, appealing characters, excellent actors, crisp and thoughtful dialog that just needs time to develop a following.
Really enjoyed the show great writting
