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 really enjoyed PROOF. It’s a great concept — fresh
It needs to have a chance. Too many series get cancelled too early.
Please allow it to go where no series has gone before.
please renew it.
Keep the show
Great show and love Jennifer Beals. The last episode was really gripping. Looking forward to season 2.
Keep it.
I love this show with the exception of the stupid ex-husband what’s his face. Renew it!
Keep it… First series iv gotten into in quite sometime… My girl n I love the show, and would be extremely disappointed to just be left hanging after being into the show as much as we are. Thanks
My mother suggested I watch the show but it was on same time as another show so I set it up to record on DVR and watched all 8 shows in one sitting and fell in love with the show and could not wait for the final. I so hope it will be renewed. So nice for a different and edgy type of show. So tired of the same old same old shows. Thank TNT for stepping out of the box.
Please renew! Our favorite show. We are in the 70+ group and all our friends & neighbors love it. Sick of all the reality and cooking shows. Next favorite is Major Crimes. BRING BACK PROOF!!
Keep it! It was really good! The only good show on TV this summer.
LOVE IT!! Keep it!!
Keep it at least 1more season!
Keep it for another season! I found it thought provoking, intricately scripted, and subtly acted. Positively worth renewing. Of course, it’s not an inane, ludicrous “reality” show, so it probably will not come back. Boo.
Love the show! I was a but hesitant since some shows like these are too depressing – but this show gets your mind going. And not depressing at all. It is such a refreshing change from police shows!
Some of the best acting I’ve seen on tv. It’s not horrifically violent, the scripts all low us to think,. No brainier for me, keep it. Spin
I love this show. Every since the first episode i have been hooked and what a talented cast this show has. You have so many talented actors. I think the show should be given another chance. It seems a lot of shows dont do well the first season and then the second season it takes off. People hear about the show from their friends and they get excited cause their friends are excited. It would be sad to see it go. Please keep the show on. I cant wait for season two.
I agree!! Please renew!!
I loved watching proof it was definitly very interesting to learn about the possibilty of the afterlife .. please renew this show
I really enjoy this series & can hardly wait until the next episode. The plot is compelling with a fine cast of actors. It would be a shame if TNT does not renew for a second season ! There are so few good shows & this one is a real keeper! So if anyone is listening @ TNT, please renew “Proof!”
