Tonight marks the season finale of the Proof TV show on TNT. Will this series that’s focused on death manage to stay alive and see a second season? Should this drama be cancelled instead?
On Proof, Doctor Carolyn “Cat” Tyler (Jennifer Beals) recently lost her son, saw her marriage end, and become estranged to her teenage daughter. Cat is persuaded by cancer-stricken billionaire Ivan Turing (Matthew Modine) to search for evidence that death is not the end and this takes her on a deeply personal and emotional journey. The rest of the cast includes David Sutcliffe, Joe Morton, Edi Gathegi, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Callum Blue, and Annie Thurman.
The series debuted on June 16th with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.66 million viewers. It was a pretty mediocre start for a TNT series. The ratings dwindled downward over the course of the season though they saw a nice bump upward last week.
The season is currently averaging a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.12 million viewers. It’s one of TNT’s lowest-rated scripted series in the demo and is in the middle of the pack in viewership.
With ratings like these, the cable channel could go either way. It could easily be canceled or renewed. If the finale does particularly well, those ratings coupled with last week’s numbers might be enough to tip the scale towards a renewal. For now, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Proof TV show on TNT? If you ran the cable channel, would you cancel or renew it for a second season?
I am an extremely intrigued with this show and I am hoping it returns next season. I think our country needs more of these type of shows especially at this time in our nation’s horrible state.
I hope that it returns next season I really loved the show
I love this show. I am so tired of all those reality shows. Who cares how totally rediculous these celebrities act and why in the world would you pay them to act that way. Proof is a good, clean, interesting and entertaining program. If anyone bothers to read these comments, you will see Proof deserves another season. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SERIES.
Hi,
The proof is in the eating of the pudding…I supped and loved…
Thanks,

I love this show and i hope it come back.its different and great actors
When I swiched the TV today waiting with an excitement for the next episode of “Proof” I got really disapointed when the TNT was sending another serie instead. I really do not understand why you have cancelled the show. I do not watch TV that often, “Proof” was the only show I enjoyed. How many brain-dead crime series is it possible to send on the TV? Why should someone who thinks differently and produces a serie with such an interesting and intriguing theme be pushed aside for yet another stupid crime film? I hope TNT has got enough comments from… Read more »
Please keep proof on the air, love the characters and kyra Sedgwick is doing a great job
Just started watching the series Proof and I really enjoy the show!
Please bring proof back it has been the best most intriguing most interesting series please rethink it and keep this series on its the best really truly it’s the best
This show should never have been cancelled. It was one of the best shows on TV. Who makes these decisions? Obviously not someone who actually watches TV.
What an awesome TV show. Please provide us another season.
I love this show, I hope it will be renewed.
Hi. I recently completed the entire season 1 and I find this tv series intriguing and it touched me somehow. This series deserves to continue as it doesnt just focus on the impossible experiment of ivan turing, it is how it affects the life of the main characters such as dr. Tyler and her want/need to see her son again. That’s the truth when you lose someone you love and i want to see what she’ll going to do with her life after her 2nd NDE.
Hi. Im spanish. Im loo king formar this serie from the begginning. I think, even without viewing the last chárter, this is one of the Best series ive ever se en. Please film another season. And forgive my por english. Thxs
A good think show always beats a “jiggle” show. Send the mindless shows to NBC, keep this show as “Proof” that your program director may know what he/she is doing. Thanks!
