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 enjoy Proof. I hope that TNT gives it a second season. There just aren’t enough smart and non-formulaic programs on TV for adults to enjoy. BTW I really miss Perception and think TNT made a huge mistake cancelling that show.
What a refreshing and thought-provoking show. It’s not like anything else and fills a nice gap. The subject itself is very important and most people wonder or at least think about what may happen next, at the end of this life. I hope Proof stays!
I love proof and Jennifer Beals is a great actress. Matthew modine does a great job too! I love Jennifer Beals as a surgeon she is awesome! The character fits her so well.
Jennifer Beals is a terrific actress. I enjoy this show. Please give it a chance to continue.
Please keep the program Proof. I look forward to seeing it each week. And make a season at least 13 shows.
Renew proof tv series. Good cast. Like to see where cat goes from here.
Great show. Ithe subject matter is what’s hot right now . But this show is much better than the other paranormal shows and mediums on TV. Hope you make season 2. I’m so tired of all the other shows. It needs more advertising and I’m sure the ratings will increase.people just don’t know about it yet.great show!
I thoroughly enjoyed PROOF, I found it a lovely drama with a satisfying speculative sci-fi edge. I believe it earned it’s place on the TNT roster. Please RENEW for Season Two, trust the team to deliver again.
I really love this show. It gives a chance for real thought in place of the mindless blather of so many shows. A unique show with good cast performances.
PROOF …keep it … ABSOLUTELY !!!!!
Proof is an amazing show! You have to keep going with it! Please don’t cancel! Im hooked!
I love this show. Renew, renew, renew!
Please renew Proof! Fantastic writing and acting, and cast is amazing. Most important, it explores a most fascinating subject.
I would absolutely keep this show. Great characters, well played by the actors, and the basic premise is something man has struggled with from the beginning. After foolishly canceling Perception, I’m hoping the network will feel they owe us this one.
Please have a second season. I just watched the season finale and I already miss it!!
