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 tell you what you at ABC just dont know when you got a hit show or not this show was greay good story lines and good actors boy you always cancel the good shows and keep the rubbish get it right
I am completely discusted by the canceling of this show. You keep the worst and kill the best! That’s why there is never anything worth watching on TV….besides the number of advertiements. You just keep shooting yourselves in the foot .. stupit !
Great storyline, amazing chemistry between the actors, good directing, excellent writing. It was new, hard to find…. shuffle it around so it IS found. So, what was the problem here that Disney, owner of ABC, felt Forever had to go? Oh, I see, not merchandise marketable. Gotcha.
Disney, get over yourselves and let us have some real programming for a change.
This is a great show! We need at least one more season. Henry Morgan is so intriguing and Jo wants to find out more about him. So do we!
Please bring it back! My husband and I both love this show! It became our favorite last season and ABC is nuts for canceling it!
I hate that abc cancelled forever I LOVED THIS SHOW!! IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE WATCHED IN YEARS!!! I COULDN’T WAIT TILL THE NEXT EPISODE! I guess it didnt have enough sex & drama for this world. Bad decision abc!!
What is Wong with ABC? This is the best show on TV. Give it a chance to let people get to know it better. Promote the show better and give it a great viewing time slot or allow it to follow a popular show. This show runs circles around some of the other trash still airing. Great show, great plot, great actors. ABC you are making a mistake by canceling this show!!!
ABC REMEMBER NBC STAR TREK
Please please please renew the show!
What is wrong with you people…..you are so WRONG cancel this show!!! There is so much “crap” that you allow to stay on and this show is soooo GREAT!
I will not get “into” any of you TV series again….why, in a season or two, they’ll be gone.
We have been watching Forever on DSTV Edge in South Africa, we’re loving it and is very dissapointed to hear there is not going to be an season 2. What can we do to get another season?
Good entertaining show, this was a mistake, this is a show that people would have caught on and made it to a classic. good first season
ABC does it again
Forever was a great show with great growth potential, not lame like a lot of shows lately. They planned to kill it all along by putting it in that time slot. If not, they would have put it in a better time slot to begin with, where it could have gotten the ratings it deserved. I am getting very irritated at the networks’ putting good shows in bad slots just so they can justify shutting the shows down. Cancel Forever, but renew Under the Dome? At least the book UtD was taken from was readable. Its misbegotten screen offspring was… Read more »
What is the name and author of the book? You’ve got me interested.
This turned out to be my favorite show. So different and interesting. The acting, plot lines, the twists, historical flashbacks of Henry’s young life with his wife, Abigail; all so different from the rubbish that dominates the networks. Who can stomach more “reality” tv; not I. Can’t watch that junk. I sure hope someone picks this diamond in the rough. I think you are right about ABC not wanting to renew by putting it in the bad time slot and it never was advertised properly. I came upon it by accident and everyone that I told about it started to… Read more »
I was stunned to learn “Under the Dome” survives??? Really, really? You people are wacked!!! What are you smoking or drinking??? “Forever” was so much higher in entertaining, stars, …..just a GREAT show. Idiots! Some decision maker there should be “canceled”!!!
Please please please renew the show!
I loved the show wish we could have another season
Quality show and r crazy to danced
