Forever

This show had what many shows these days lack. And that is a genuine bona fide proper show. These days most T.V. is filled with either not so reality, reality TV or with stuff that is so awful that finding out it has fans is saddening. Rarely, do I like a show that is or has been on T.V. - In fact, I watch about 5 shows that are on T.V. and Forever was one of those shows. I thought it was a breath of fresh air and so did my brother. It had a good, not so in your face humour side with a couple of characters and it also had some decent drama and mystery and a really good plot. I mean, How many shows are there that are about an immortal man who is trying to figure out why he's stuck in the land of the living.

It was a beautiful show. I'm sorry to see that it got canceled. It seems these days anything that's original gets tossed aside while everything else that's just a clone of another gets high praise and prime T.V. spots.

WHY this show was cancelled bemuses me, it had so much promise, so much potential.

The cast was great, as were the story lines and it could have become so, so much better, and the lines it could have followed from the young Abe, and then the young Henry, Henry first marriage and then onto the romantic side, it had so many avenues it could and should have followed.

All I can say is the Chief's at the top should sometimes listen to the Indians below, this could have become one of the best TV show's ever had ABC it been given a chance to mature. What a bunch of pillocks!!!

So sad that one of the other networks did not pick it up, with the fan based already established (on both sides of the pond) it would have been a sure fire WINNER.

Great show. I enjoyed it very much. Three very great main actors. I have always enjoyed everything Judd Hirsch and Ioan Gruffudd have ever done. So it is a double pleasure having them together. The script is written script. Full of surprises. It's nice to see an old story line brought up to the present. It does remind me of Highlander. That was a good show then and this will be a great show now. I see that so far there are only 4 episodes. I hope they have not killed the show before it has a chance to air because I am going to tell everyone I know to watch this show. I can't wait to see the 200th episode. I wish the show a very long run.

Today I came across an episode of Forever on TV. I was and still am a huge fan, when it first came out, I watched every episode and was really surprised when it was cancelled after only one excellent, well written, imaginative, riveting and original season. So today I watched again, and I miss it just as much, I hope it can have a comeback very soon! Some of the ideas of the show were 'borrowed' by other subsequent shows, but these never had the same scope or wonderful cast dynamics.

You should not call a show 'Forever' and end it after only one season as the meme says! Bring back Forever!

I absolutely love this show. I like crime shows in general, especially when they have a Sherlock-ian lead, but this is my favorite of all time. This show is like a combination of the Mentalist, Bones, CSI, and the Highlander. Its magic is not in its components – it is in how well it is done. The critics seem to be slamming the fact that it is a conglomeration of characteristics of other shows – but why not take the best parts of them all and put them together? What is wrong with that? This is entertainment, not an artistic statement. Nonetheless, it is very well written – funny, smart, exciting and absorbing, and with a sentimental twist. It is more lighthearted than CSI and more emotional than the Mentalist. I love that it tends to be more about biology and medicine than hair samples and carpet fibers…it's more about all the obscure ways people can die. The flashbacks to history are kind of fun, too. It is perfectly casted-the lead actor/main character is so expressive and charming you are instantly drawn in and rooting for him. The characters play off of each other very well—a little too much of anyone/thing and it just wouldn't be the same. In short? I look forward to this show all week, and when I watch it: I laugh, I cry, I learn something, my heart pounds in places and later it melts, and I end just about every show sad that it's over and wanting to watch it again.
