Not good news for the sophomore drama. Episode two dropped 18% in the demo to a 1.8 rating and 9.19 million viewers. It was in last place for the timeslot and is now the lowest-rated scripted series on the network. If you love the show, that’s not the position you want it to be in.

Delany and company had a disappointing debut for their second season, attracting a 2.2 in the 18-49 demographic and 9.41 million viewers. It was in second place for the timeslot, narrowly beating NBC’s Parenthood. Compared to the series debut, Body of Proof was down 29% in the demo. Year-to-year, Proof was down just 5% when compared to now-cancelled Detroit 1-8-7 in the same timeslot.
Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 11.13 million viewers.

I like Body of Proof. The cast is great and it has humor. The relationship between Dana Delaney and her daughter is spot on for the most part and it shows Jeri Ryan’s character intract with Dana Delaney’s in a way I’d like to see women work in real life. It is much better than that forgettable, unforgettable. I don’t buy that show’s plot at all. What good does the memory do if she doesn’t witness the crime. Having a good memory doens’t imply good crime solving skills automatically. And the cast is a bore.
Please keep the show. I love it soooo much, it is funny, entertaining and suspenceful, I love it. ABC do not make another mistake about cancelling an awesome show remember (flashfoward)
keep Body of Proof going — lots of lovely twists, good interplay with characters — as an old Star Trek fan — I find it interesting to watch Seven of Nine — in the show as a doctor — great casting. don’t cancel it — I hate almost all of the “reality” shows and this season’s line-up for comedy and drama has me back watching tv after having almost given up on prime time tv
please keep this show it is getting really good
I enjoy this show very much.I say renew for next season.
More often than not it is the network that kills a series, rather than the show itself. We’ve seen it happen time and again over the years. Since we have mostly an unknown cast, we still have here something many series don’t: an Emmy Award-winning actress carrying an entire show. I love Dana Delany and always try to follow a project she’s involved in because she brings class and elegance to the screen. Regrettably, as in this particular instance, she isn’t being given enough to work with. I do like this show and want to see it continue however, a… Read more »
I enjoy the show, but it would be so much better if Delaney’s Dr. Hunt was a character who didn’t alienate me like she alienates people around her. Other characters who have issues with social skills still seem to have something about them that connects to me. For example, House or Monk. I just don’t find Megan likable.
Yes, renew the show. It’s a good one.
Love the show too!! I like the chemistry between Megan & Peter besides the 2 guys who help her out. Think that’s a good story line having Megan’s boss be involved with her ex. And Joanna Cassidy who plays Megan’s Mom – wasn’t she once married to Johnny Carson?
RENEW IT!!!
RENEW
Absolutley love this show. Strong, intelligent women in charge. Dana Delaney is the best woman on TV right now. The story lines are smart & exciting. Networks have to stop bending over for this Nielson jerk. Check DVR data from cable & satellite providers for a more accurate count of whose tuning in!!
This show is a keeper. Dana Delaney is so hot.
I love this Body of Proof. The women are powerful and sexy. Wendell Middlebrooks and Geoffrey Arend are hilarious. I like the way they use humor along with the drama and mystery. I think Season Two is coming together nicely. I enjoy the show much better so far this season. I hope ABC will give it a chance to grow an audience.
I say renew it; most shows take a little time to get their feet under them, the story-lines are good, and I think having a short first season (9 eps of 13) may have delayed development some. Certainly stupider shows have lasted longer, give this one a chance.
This show is OK. I only watch it, really because Geri Ryan is in it. HUBBA HUBBA!
