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?
Forever was an outstanding show, it had intrigue, lots of interesting facts and a great cast. This is much better than all the reality shows. Obviously it’s cheaper to produce these stupid reality shows than to employ professional actors to keep the series going. Very disappointing…..
i really enjoyed Forever. Please bring it back.
Please bring the show back. It was one of our two or three favorites. The characters were all wonderful.
I don’t like a lot of network TV but this one was one I really enjoyed please bring it back
I lack hope

I don’t like a lot of network TV but this one was one I really enjoyed please bring it back

I love this show and am very disappointed it has been cancelled. I was looking forward to seeing the relationship develope between Henry and Jo. So sad:(
Should have known not to get attached to this one. It is a Great show and of course it gets cancelled. Ugh. couldn’t you have just moved it to another time slot being this was one of your worse slots in your line up. You are losing a quality show and why?
I love this show and am very disappointed it has been cancelled. I was looking forward to seeing the relationship develope between Henry and Jo. So sad:(

PLEASE DO NOT CANCE FOREVER–The acting was Great & the Story line Very Interesting!!!!! NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE YOUR TYPICAL
SHOOT THEM UP COP DRAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i ALSO AGREE WITH THE OTHER POSITIVE POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE ABC CANCELED IT—
I WON’T BE WATCHING ITS REPLACEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was devastated. I loved the premise and the characters were great. I am very disappointed that the show was cancelled being I was looking forward to a second season.
I am so disappointed. This was the only show I recorded for MYSELF! It was a “clean” show and I loved it. I’m so upset that I won’t see Jo and Henry develop and her reaction to his secret. Think this show deserves another chance. Love it and my whole family watched it which was a nice treat.
No!! This was a terrific show. Very creative, interesting, and one the whole family could watch. Very disappointing!
I LOVE this show. So much better (and cleaner) than some of that Scandalous/Murderous evil that ABC is so fond of. I agree with all of the positive posts above. PLEASE bring it back.
