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?
Very disappointed forever is finished.
Whole family use to watch this one.
WTF! That was the BEST show on!!!!
I FINALLY started to find time to watch some TV this last year, and this is what I loved the most. I can’t believe it is cancelled because it has a wonderful storyline that is entertaining as it is interesting. I know I will never get hooked on anything ‘zombie’ or the dry stories of some others. Can’t you please bring it back at whatever time would work for you? I’ll record it!Didn’t they cancel Family Guy and people wanted it back, so now it is back again?
I really enjoyed that show. Never missed an episode. Great casting of characters. Sigh… I miss it!
I really liked this show. Why don’t you sell it to syfy like they did with stargate sg1. sg1 lasted for years on syfy.
They are crazy to not continue this show!
i knew it was much too good to last. The suits, once again…:(
I loved this show. It was won of the best shows on TV. Must be good story lines and good acting isn’t enough. I guess it didn’t have enough soft porn and blood and gore for the network. I’m just so disappointed in the shows the networks are cancelling and this was one of my favorites. Another really good one that was cancelled was Perception. Again, good story lines, good acting, etc. and they cancel it. Both networks will probably put on some horrible reality show to replace it. Pretty sad that they cancel good shows. I think the networks… Read more »
She’s got that right!
I can’t believe Forever was cancelled! It’s the only show I watched on network television. What where you thinking? Obviously Nothing! Get rid of some of the crap reality shows and put in something that adults can actually get into watching.
hi I love forever a great show with great actors .why cancel The marketing was not what it should have been. I didnt know anyone who new about the show. The late night time slot doesnt help here in Australia. Everyone I talked to about it then watched and liked it .
dont cancel try a 8.30 time slot to get the audience interested then move a little later.
thank you for your time.

This was one of the best new series of the season. A second season should have been produced. It was always interesting well written and entertaining. Sadly a lose to TV programing.
LOVE THE SHOW. It’s a shame when they get actors who work so well together and it gets cancelled, but yet continue with fake reality show after reality show. I am very disappointed in the cancellation.
Love forever tv show and should continue cos lots qustion will he dide or in love again is there more imorals out there etc
I picked Two and Half Men as a winner after a few episodes. i picked The Big Bang Theory as a winner after a few episodes.. I picked Forever as a winner after a few episodes. I’m not WRONG!
