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 just cant believe ABC decided to cancell it. shame on ABC.. I feel very very sad about it. please ABC, Listening to us péople from all over the world asking for forever season 2.
Very sad that forever has ended, I can’t believe it, was one of the better shows in a long time
Please renew this show. Its classy and a pleasure to watch. We had look forward to Tuesday evenings just to watch this show. Please renew it for season two, three, etc.
I can’t get over it! I watched the last episode last night in France. And now, it’s over???!!!!
Such a good show with culture and good actors! What for? New crap for millions or idiots?
Shame on ABC
Yes, Renata, it’s sad but true. I learned of Forever’s cancellation a few weeks ago, after the last episode ran here in Oregon, USA. Not only was it my favorite new series on network TV, I also thought it rivaled the best of the series’ on HBO and other cable networks. I think Forever had the best story line and cast, and that it was superbly acted. Since I learned of ABC’s decision on this site some of the other commentors have said they can’t believe another network hasn’t picked it up. Also, I’ve received dozens of comments in my… Read more »
This was my favorite show on network TV. Very disappointed in its cancellation. So few TV characters have intelligence and culture. I suppose we’ll get more couples fighting and real world idiots to replace it.
Please rethink this Forever a lot off us hope it will be reopened and series two will make a lot of things intertwine it is a great new series?
Please try bat least a few episodes to see what we all want
I see lets take a good show to make room for another mindless show about people who can’t seem to stay together after they pick a partner . I think you know the shows I am talking about People who watch this are MORONS
I wish it was’nt cancelled…. it is a very good show!!!
Me and my sister both loved these series: the plot is unique and the crimes are very creative (even one of a kind). Very disappointed about ABC about not continuing Forever…
Very disappointing ABC! I am so, so glad we have the best executives making the hard decisions to cancel the good shows like Forever, only to make room for what we really need, more reality TV! This happens too often, we get drawn in to a story line only to have it ripped from us. I’m sick of the networks canceling the worthwhile shows. I feel like I am getting stiffed and it makes it hard to even start watching a new series in fear it will be canceled as well! Here’s an Idea…..why don’t you start asking the viewers… Read more »
Biggest Shame For ABC 😉
Forever is one of the BEST! TV series to come along. Please reconsider bringing it back. It was so refreshing to finally have a show on one of the 3 major networks that was just plain good entertainment. I am so sick of the politically correct shows and all the shows with their own agenda. I found myself counting down the days until the next episode. I love Ioan Gruffudd as Dr. Henry Morgan. It is so frustrating that you cancel a show like Forever, but keep trash like Greys Anatomy and Wife Swap. I would just like some great… Read more »
This is such an original which is hard to come by and it is played brilliantly by the actors! Loved the tension of being found out. Awesome show! Maybe it will be picked up! Hoping…
Its a shame. The series started to get better as it went along. I hate it when a good series comes about and then gets the axe. Not good decision making from powers at be.
Forever has been a super Series so far , feel very very sad to know the ending is so near .
Upsetting .Great Show Like this to end . SAD .Feel Sorry for the Makers .
