Why I'm Pissed They Cancelled Forever

One of my new favorite TV shows was cancelled last night and I was not the only one who was shocked.  The star of FOREVER, Ioan Gruffudd, was just as surprised and disappointed. He took to social media to thank all of us fans.  To console myself I’m reading this in his charming, buttery British accent.

My dear friends, fans, supporters.

Tonight, as you all now know, I received a phone call that I was hoping not to receive, and to be honest I really wasn't expecting it. I knew the numbers hadn't been great, but I also knew the studio and the network both loved the show, and of course that it had an incredible fan base...so I thought we were in with a pretty good chance.

But sadly no, this time the cards weren't dealt in our favor. Show business is like that. Hell, life is like that. You ride to the top of the wave and then you come crashing down again. I asked Alice to send out the sad news because I was a little bit shaken up and needed time to gather my thoughts.

So I sat down and started reading the thousands of Tweets in response to the announcement. And the more I read, the more I couldn't believe it. The love, the sense of solidarity, the hope, the kindness, the support. Not just for the show, but for each other. And slowly I began to focus on what we had gained in the past year, rather than what we had lost in the last five minutes. I was overcome by a sense of gratitude. To have met you all and to have you all rooting for me and the show. At having a chance to play the role of my dreams, even if it was only for a year. To have been given the chance to bring Henry to life.

Watching the interaction of the FOREVER fans come together and share their love for the show has been breath-taking. It was you guys who held me up when I thought I could no longer go on. (Those days were LONG!) You made me smile when you pointed out the little things I did on screen that I thought had gone unnoticed. You gave me confidence when I accidentally found myself reading less than shining reviews. You were always with me, every step of the way, waving your flags, shouting your support for the show. It's been an incredible, wonderful year, one that I will never, ever forget.

And guess what? The memories belong to us. We get to keep them 'forever!' Thanks again a million times for your unwavering support. Stay strong, be brave, and show kindness as often as you can!

This is the same curse to befall most great sci fi and fantasy tv shows---early cancellation.  ABC will continue to show Fresh Off the Boat (an awkward sometimes racist sitcom), the poorly written and disappointing Galavant and slow paced/implausible/let’s talk about sexism 400 more times Marvel’s Agent Carter.  Oh, and there will also be a bazillion more episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.   *Sigh* I bet this is how female superheroes feel all the time.

I am very upset they cancell Forever! I love the show. ABC you are stupid to this! You guys wonder why you are not number one station/network. You guys don't give a show any chance. You can't judge by the numbers. It should be the fans to decide to continue the show. ABC you made mistakes to cancell Resurrection to. That why I don't watch you network to much anymore. You always can cell the dhows I love very much.

OMG, I was upset about this and serious had a mini temper tantrum. Resurrection was soooooo good and they killed it. You're right about the networks Judith. I just hope Hulu and Netflix pick up more cancelled shows.
