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 love the show and would like to see a season 2. Don’t cancel it
We will be watching for Season 2. It might add an additional layer of intrigue to include one or more theoretical physicists and their ideas of the ‘Multi-verse,” “The Holographic Universe,” dark matter, ect. . . BTW: Excellent casting. A 5* Show.
Proof is my favorite show this year… So clever! Always excited to watch Tuesday nights! Sad the season is over already… PLEASE RENEW!
Renew, no doubt.
I love this show and would be very pleased to see it continue!!!!! I am sure there would be more interest after the summer……so many people gone during the summer months!! I think more people would watch in the fall and spring!!
Please. … this show is the best!
We loved the show!!! Keep the show!!!
Love it, and I’m outside the demographic age group. I’ve told many people to watch it On Demand. Hoping it is renewed
Good show KEEP
I’d keep the show “Proof” I love the show. It’s one of my favorites. It dares to go where no one else has gone before. It’s a Keeper.
I stumbled upon this on on VOD and watched all the episodes in 1 night. It is addicting and Jennifer Beals is fantastic in this role. Fits her to a t.
I was very leary at first, but decided to watch it first on On demand & REALLY like it. I hope it is renewed, because there are NOT a lot of good shows on tv. So please keep it going.
NOW, WHY do we have to wait so long & then get only 8-10 episodes of Major Crimes, Proof, Rizzoli & Iles?
I like the twist in their plot with their medical cases, the punch line of the script with the corresponding facial and body language depiction, plus the unpredictability of the events. the ever present intrigue of the what if’s.
We love the show at my house and I have told some of my friends about it and now they are starting to watch it and really like it also. I hope they keep it! I think that if they advertised it more there would be so many more that would watch it too
My family loves this show!!! We look forward to the new episodes every week. With our crazy schedule, we don’t usually get to watch it the night it airs, but we always record and watch it as soon as we can. We definitely hope it gets renewed!!!
