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?
Now I watch another channel, bring Forever back, certainly much better than “Extreme Weight Loss” or other “reality” shows.
I have been waiting and checking every Tuesday to see the next episode of Forever, only to find that it is now cancelled. Now I have no reason to turn on ABC.
yes yes yes this is my favoret tv show in a long time
I loved this show- I did miss it some night, but always went to on demand to watch- so sorry to hear it has been CXLD
I love this show! It’s not a stupid comedy. It has some sci-fi, fantasy, who-done-it and characters that work great together. I am 65, not 18-40. No one ever asked me how I liked the show and I never missed it. What a shame to let such a good cast and story line go down the tubes because ABC didn’t like the ratings. Well, poo on ABC!
It was a sleeper. We only started watching it after someone told us about it. Then we couldn’t stop. We bought episodes on amazon just to catch up. It was such a great show and just needed more time to catch on because there was not much advertising.
Forever had even more of the interesting plots and romantic possibilities of Castle and The Mentalist. I can’t imagine that, given another chance, it would have continued to grow a wider audience. It was put on at a time which didn’t help it’s chances. PLEASE reconsider, ABC!
I live in Switzerland and my husband and I could not wait one week to see
the next episodes. What a shame if you do not decide to do season 2.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR IT !! If americans don’t like it, europeans surely do !
I have the fact that they cancelled this show!!!! I loved it!!!
I really liked the show & wish ABC would change their minds about canceling it.
How do they count the number of viewers? Some of us can’t watch it at its scheduled time so we DVR or watch on the Internet.
Please air season 2 of Forever. And put more episodes on ABC.com
BRING IT BACK!! ABC IS DOING IT AGAIN. I AM WATCHING ANOTHER CHANNEL. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME NO OTHER CHOICE. BYE GOODMORNING AMERICA, KELLY AND MICHAEL, CHEW, MODERN FAMILY, GOLBERG, CRISTELA,DR. OZ, ETC.
the show forever should of been given another shot at a better time slot or anothe chance
I live in the UK and am gutted that Forever is being cancelled. I hope they finish with some resolution.
Forever has been one of the best series i’ve seen in a long time. The amount of people i talked to in the UK loved it and could not believe it when 2nd series has been hacked. What a shame
