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 THINK YOU PEOPLE AT ABC ARE DUMB ASS’S PEOPLE OVER 60 LOVE THE SHOW, SO FORGET YOUR 18 TO 48 AND GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTTS.
If butting DVR to recorder program what do you do if you work or am of to do something.if this does not what does.
You always cancel the good shows! I can’t stand the silly reality shows! Forever was a show I enjoyed and couldn’t wait to return!!
Hopefully you find cancel Once upon a time!
Sorry was supposed to say don’t cancel Once Upon A Time
I enjoyed the series and disappointed there won’t be any more
I know it was a bit far fetched but isn’t that what t.v. Is about taking you out of every day life
Please bring back Forever. We really enjoyed it. We never missed an episode. There hasn’t been a fictional show this good in a long time for us. We are watching so much reality tv and this was a good change. Please bring it back !
I thought forever was an excellent show you should put it on earlier it would be a hit if it was on a little earlier!
I loved this show and I’m so sad it is cancelled.
I loved the show Forever! I can’t believe that it was canceled!!! And a Muppet show????? OH NO! Why?? We watched every episode…Looked forward to watching it every week. Great actors, great story line, awesome characters!! Please rethink what you have done!!
I must have been one of the loyal following for “Forever” . I really enjoyed the show , loved the story line and many of the really great actors in the show. Too bad for me and all the other fans of this wonderful show!
Please bring Forever back! I loved the actors and the stories and it had everything a perfect show needs. It had mystery, humor, interesting stories, and no expicit sex as almost all the other new shows have. I stopped watching too many popular shows because of all the sex. And it was great watching a perfect show that I recommended to all my family and friends. Forever was going to be another series to my dvd collection, like Monk and Bones. Please rethink your decision.
I love this show. I started recording it so I would not miss and episode when other channels had shows I like also; I love the plot and all actors.
Better marketing for the show may have helped. I didn’t learn about the show until around it’s fifth episode. Some others have been recently shocked to find out it was even cancelled — they thought the show was merely on hiatus. WB? What’s up? We want “Forever” BACK! SOON! Thank you.
I loved the show, it was so cute and weird at the same time, and yet I felt comfortable watching with the whole family!
When tv stations take off an episode to put something deemed by them as more important I lose interest in watching a series. I liked this show but stopped watching it on live tv due to tv station putting other shows on in its scheduled time slot.
FOREVER was my new FAVORTITE! I am so sad it was canceled! It was a clever twist on a Sherlock type show. I loved it and wish I could see more.
