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?
No Season 2 … LAME … my wife and I watch this show every week … it deserves a chance
Bring it back.
I am extremely disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I love the story line. I wish another network would wise up and pick the show up!
My entire family loved Forever, and as for me it was me it was my favorite show on TV. I sure wish somebody else will pick it up. It seems like all TV cares about anymore is the younger generation who watch animated shows. Such a shame!
Watching Forever on the watch channel here in the UK was the highlight of my Thursday with my mum…. You cannot end a series like that on such a cliffhanger. So sad it won’t be returning. Loved that show 🙁
I loved the show and i was very disappointed to hear that it wouldn’t be back.
Way to many unanswered questions in the last episode.
I think Forever was a great show, good twist to it. Why is the 50 plus public being ignored?
I guess ABC doesn’t care what we like!
Wow ABC you suck! That’s the easiest way I can put it, the show was awesome, story line was different, time played wasn’t the best but I stayed up for it. Why can you let these stupid shows run several seasons but when you find a good one you stop it after one season, let it run another season you will be happy you did, but hey this is pointless none of the big executives will ever see or hear of our complaints, it’s their world we just have to watch the trash they replace with it…..or do we…..glad I… Read more »
You can’t cancel forever it was a great show, the plot was fantastic and left so many unanswered questions, Why ABC ? A season 2 would be perfect please change your decision
Liked show a lot . last show a bad place to end. it was one of better shows on TV
I really liked this show. I hate that it was canceled. Although it did have an unusual plot line and subject matter, it was good.
They need to make anther season!!!!! Just because the number decreased doesn’t mean that other people want to continue watching the show!!!!!!!!!!
Very sad news.Just love FOREVER.Make a plan,please
Very disappointing. One of best shows out there! We looked forward to it all the time. Great acting, smart writing. Maybe too smart for some people. Maybe late time slot for those who don’t DVR may have hurt. We LOVED this show! Maybe need to survey those over 49, too?
Give it another chance at a different time.
I love this show and am extremely disappointed and saddened to hear of its cancellation. I think ABC has made a very poor decision. Moving it to a earlier time slot would have helped a lot in my opinion to have more viewers. It’s a sad commentary on our society when a really well-written, well-acted, creative show ceases to be aired because 18-49 year olds aren’t watching it in droves. The last show was such a cliff-hanger that I couldn’t wait for the new season and we can’t even watch all the episodes online on ABC.com. I likely won’t watch… Read more »
