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?
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A SHOW AS RIVETING AS PROOF GET’S CANCELLED YET THE TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR REALITY JUNK GOES ON FOREVER!!! i DON’T KNOW WHO RUNS THIS OR WHO MAKES THE DECISIONS BUT, THEY SHOULD REALLY GET THERE PRIORITIES IN LINE!!!! IF THEY WORKED FOR ME THEY WOULD BE CANCELLED!
I loved this show. I can’t understand why you wouldn’t make another season of it. really interesting programs always go to the way side while we are fed the same ol same ol trash:/ please bring this show back.
pleeeaseee bring back this show!!!
This was a GREAT show! I can’t believe you cancelled after one season. What a shame! I think you would have had lots of people tuning in as more people knew about it. I’m totally disappointed.
Please renew!! We loved thus show!! Give it a chance!!
The world is shifting to a more spiritual way of being, this show is needed to help people realize what could be. More and more are interested in this topic…you would be wrong to cancel.
Keep I loved it
Please do not cancel. It gives us hope of afterlife. Great show.
Please bring Proof back…….it was one of the best new shows Ive seen in a long time……no other show out there like it……I have been looking forward to it’s return just to find out it was cancelled? You didn’t even give it a fair chance…….this is why I hate getting interesting in a new show, they suddenly get cancelled and after we invested our time in it, we are left hanging with not even a series finale……that is not being fair to the viewers
should be renewed, was looking forward to it , very let down to find out it was cancelled! RATTINGS AREN’T EVERYTHING!!!
We were just thinking about Proof and when it was due to start the season. I just found out that it was cancelled!!!! WHYYYYYYY? It was amazing! It opens your mind and makes you really question things. There are not any other shows like it! Just promote it a little more! We had all of our friends hooked. PLEASE BRING IT BACK TNT!
One of my favorites.
Please bring it back. So many shows get canceled when they haven’t been given a chance.
Renew, love this show!! Shows hope that there is more after death!!!!
Interesting and curiosity piquing show. The situations in some of the episodes in season 1, for the most part sounded quite authentic. Please bring back the show.
One of the most interesting shows in YEARS. Not the same old cops or hospital soap. If you don’t renew it you are crazy
