Sile November 8, 2014 Share November 8, 2014 (edited) So excited to hear that I'm getting a full season of Gruffudd goodness! When I didn't see Forever on my DVR schedule last week, I feared the worst. I didn't see the previews on the previous episode because I've been saving the last couple eps and not watching right away because I didn't want to get even more attached only to have it torn from my grasp. Now I can fully enjoy watching this show without that bit of dread that would always creep in. I also hope that since it's gotten a little breathing room that they won't feel compelled to speed up events in order to get some kind of closure before it gets cancelled. I really don't want his secret being discovered by anybody, especially Det Martinez. I'd actually be fine if she never found out.

Forever is about an immortal medical examiner living (forever) and practicing medicine in New York City. His 200 years on Earth have given him a lot of insight into his profession, but the show just couldn’t draw viewers.

Sakura12 December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 There is a reason ABC is known as Always Be Cancelling. I don't know why Show Runners don't stick to selling their shows to cable networks. On there they are at least allowed to grow an audience before anyone gives up. It's hard watching new shows on Network TV. I don't want to get attached only to have it cancelled abruptly. Selfie despite it's unfortunate name turned out to be a great show.

HalcyonDays December 29, 2014 Share December 29, 2014 I swear, every show I love to watch is so close to cancellation/will be cancelled. What's stupid is that the show gets a good 5.00+ million viewers, on a night that has Monday Night Football and tons of other competition (yeah yeah, I know, 18-49 demo's and all of that). They get like over 5 million viewers. I wish they would give the show another chance and move it to another day, so maybe it will have less competition and hopefully more viewers. It is really good fluff, and when you consider there are some other poor shows that stick around...give it a chance. Again with our instant gratification society (and TV networks), they are not willing to wait a bit. The example I can remember is the X-Files, whose first year ratings were very low. Popular opinion is that nowadays, TXF would have been cancelled after the first season, but in the 90s, the network gave it a chance, and it became the NINE season acclaimed classic that it is today. I know, not the same genre, but networks todays are too ready to swing the axe. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16054-forever-in-the-media/#findComment-681643

The genre is not the issue with your example, it truly is the times and the instant gratification nation we have become. Some of the most acclaimed shows of the 80s and 90s (Cheers, Seinfeld, Hill Street Blues, Family Ties, etc.) would never have become what they are had they aired now. All were considered poor performers at best but they were allowed to continue to develop their respective audiences. Until networks go back to this approach, true classics will never see the light of day, and just as is the case with movies, popular dreck (reality TV anyone) will continue to rule and cause brain rot in their wake.

kassygreene December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 If I recall correctly, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., was supposed to be a big hit, and The X-Files occupied the following timeslot. Fox had no great expectations of XF, but needed to fill the timeslot. But it consistently out-performed AoBC,J, so at the end of the first season XF was renewed and the other was not. In 1993 I think the only hits on Fox were The Simpsons and Married, With Children. Today, of course, Fox will kill off an under-performing show at the end of act one of the Pilot. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16054-forever-in-the-media/#findComment-684080

It really will depend on whose terms are we going out on? I’m very hopeful for a season 2, but season 1 is not being built as if the last episode is the last episode. It’s being built as if there’s a season 2. And season 2 will be built as if season 2 is not the end of it. If there’s a way to go out on our own terms, then I have an idea for how I’d like this show to end.
