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?
Im very very disappointed Forever was cancelled, why no to cancel The Bachelorotte/ Bachelor ??? this is one of the stupidest show ever and its still on . who is watching it? I loved Forever , its very good. my whole family loved it. Please, bring it back.
DID ANYBODY WATCH CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD ON ABC ON SUNDAY NIGHTS? HOW CAN THEY PROGRAM THIS FILTH AND NOT RE-RUN FOREVER? I GUESS THIS SHOWS THE MENTALITY OF WHO IS RUNNING ABC, AND WHO THEY ARE PROGRAMMING FOR.

You can’t ended up with this, we didn’t get to see they fall in love to each other yet. Don’t disappointed me ABC. FOREVER is a good tv show, the story is nice, even though… Read more »
Enjoyed this show and felt the writing was getting better with each episode. The characters were coming together. It was original and I could see it going in some great directions. So much potential. I looked forward to each show. I think they got it wrong canceling this show. So much garbage on and finally something I want to watch and it gets canned. Bummer. At least I have my books.
Dear Sirs, I was a fan of the FOREVER TV Series, and am very desipointed to know that it was cancelled. I am sure that there are many other TV series of similar subject, that have less audience. The subject of the series is a very interesting one, and was very didactic, resembling in part of the famous stories of Sherlock Homes, CSI, etc. having a bit of each assambled in a very claver way. I hope that there are other fans that have or will write to you asking to reconsider the cancelling of the series. Thank you for… Read more »
Have really enjoyed this series and will be sad to see it go – for the first time in ages – along with Elementary the plot lines had one thinking – well more than the usual brainless blah and continuous reality rubbish that is screened these days.
We really enjoyed the show, the whole family is disappointed it has been cancelled. I hope another network will pick it up, it left a lot of unanswered questions.
It was a great show and should not be cancelled. Very entertaining and classy. Why leave all the mindless reality crap shows on and cancel the good ones?
Forever was a great show. My family lived its a pity that the network cancelled it but leaves on shows like the bachelor ir some shows that have alot of Gore and bad language. Not suitable for young viewers. I think u should reconsider and at least bring it back on a different network and time slot.
Šis seriāls bija viens no daudzajiem kas mani tiešām izklaidēja.
Pēc manām domām šo seriālu vajadzētu turpināt!
Es esmu no Latvijas tā ir valsts Eiropā, un man šis seriāls iedvesmoja, un Forever nevar beigties ar tik daudziem neatbildētiem jautājumiem.
This TV series was one of the many that really entertained me.
In my opinion, this series should continue!
I am from Latvian it is a country in Europe, and I was inspired by the TV series, and Forever can not end up with so many unanswered questions.
So I’ll be very grateful if you continue Forever.
I am constantly amazed at the many countries around the world that receive U.S. television. I wish I could say that the variety alone would convince ABC to rethink their position. Who knows, maybe it still might.
I think Forever was an AWESOME show and as always every time I get wrapped up in a new TV series “THEY” cancel it. I really believe this was a huge mistake…..WHY??
If it had demon,vampire werewolf any other Norman Bates,Charles Mason it would be on forever.
My family loved this show….very disappointed it was cacelled. ….please pursue to another network.
It would seem a poor slow following. Then would the makers who cancelled Star Trek the original feel the same knowing what Franchise they lost out on or the money made from it.
I invest my time in watching programmes and feel that some do not carry the gravitas as much as Forever, some good programmes do need a second series to realy hit the ground running.
Where would Mad men or Game of Thrones be in the bank balance if they where cancelled prematurely
