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?
Proof is the type of show this world needs. I am so sick of the crappy reality shows. Reality sucks, we all have enough of that in our lives. TV is a place for us to dream and hope for beyond reality. Shows like proof give us the escape we all need. The big networks cancel shows that real people like, and they need to understand how many people that use TV as their entertainment because they lack the money or time to go out. Like covert affairs Proof should stay.
Great show. One of the best since Lost Imo. I certainly hope it is not cancelled
Good show. Well written. Cable channels have some good programming, but struggle to promote them. So many people have no idea these shows exist.
I hope it survives another season and gets better promotion.
i like it very much and hope it comes back on for a second season
Great show!! Can’t wait for Season 2!!
Yes yes yes yes yes. Renew!!!!!!
Oh Lord….please give us more dramas like this instead of those absolutely inane “reality shows”. PLEASE bring back Proof for another season !!!
My husband & I both love this show. It deals with a topic most people are interested in, but not many have the courage to deal with it. Thanks for stepping out there!
Most definitely keep it. Bring back Perception as well. They would be great back to back.
My husband and I love the show. We look forward to each new episode. It is well written and the concept is great and the actors make the characters believable. Please renew.
Agreed! Don’t cancel. Most people watch on a DVR now which is not part of the rating system.
Have faith. You don’t need proof! 😉
please renew this show,. great acting and great subject.
Although we realize it is “just a series on TV”, and not all real on going scientific research we have really enjoyed the series. It is definitely thought provoking for us Christians who strongly believe in life after death. We would very much like to see it continue for at least another season.
Please renew it’s one of the few shows that my husband and I view together
KEEP……KEEP……KEEP !!!! Sick of the REALITY shows that is the producers way out of not having to pay writers and non talented egotistical goofs being glamorized. NOTHING REALITY ABOUT THE REALITY SHOWS; however work in medical industry and THIS SHOW IS TRUE REALITY….. it is a wonderful way of enlightening others about the truth in these types of experiences that happen minute by minute to many. PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SHOW for the sanity of those that appreciate a story line, talent and TRUE REALITY
