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?
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL PROOF, I REALLY ENJOY THIS SERIES.
I really enjoyed the show. Upfront, I do not believe in the paranormal, psychic phenomenon or near death experience. I believe them to be hallucinations. That said, it is fun pretending. Science Fiction is often about plausible impossibilities. We suspend our belief and wonder what if. IT is the same here. On top of that it stars Jennifer Beals. She is not only beautiful but a fine actress. The show is an interesting fantasy. I do hope it will return again.
Renew!!! This fills a spot with interesting material. I am so sick of cop shows and am truly enjoying this show.
Proof, on TNT, is a drama I just started watching as it was on episode 6 of 10. I absolutely love this show. I hope TNT will allow another season as I will definitely be watching!
Renew Proof! Its too good not to have oppt for others to ck it out. Wonderful production value, cast & script! Couldnt wait to see it over other shows on DVR.
Thought-provoking, well-developed characters, far superior and different from other formulaic TNT dramas. (ie: why is Rizzoli and Isles still on the air.? Trash). Please renew this show. Speaking on behalf of my husband and me, both in our 60s.
I really enjoyed “Proof.” I hope it is renewed for another season. Jennifer Beals is the beating heart of the show, but they’re all good. And it’s a compelling drama, and beautifully done
The show happened to come to me at a very spiritual moment of my life.The emotion are so real,it’s like a connection between myself and the set. I’ve talked to my colleagues and they said they can’t wait to check it out.So don’t give up yet. Thanks.
I really hope Proof returns for a second season. This is my favorite show of the summer. Jennifer Beals is excellent as Dr. Cat Tyler and I really like the entire cast. Can’t wait to watch it every Tuesday night. Sad to see the season finale. Bring it back, please!
I never watch series, other than Downton Abbey, but I am really enjoying Proof! Renew it!
Fascinating topic and weekly examples, more complex than so much TV. Renew please.
I have really enjoyed watching PROOF. Please don’t cancel a show of this quality. There are so few shows that intelligently look at the question of life after death. It’s opened up many conversations amongst my friends.
This is a very well done show with excellent acting. TNT should definitely renew for additional episodes/seasons. We also always record and watch it as soon as we can. We definitely hope it gets renewed!!!
It’s a winner Keep it going. Was told about it from another who sung it’s praises so decided to check it out.. Was hooked and hooked family members. Have told others who seemed genuinely interested to check it out but at that point would have to catch up on demand.. Maybe more advertisement to put it out there. no one knew about it. Seems word of mouth is what IS catching the audience. Slow perhaps, but sure. Once discovered, utterly gripping. A huge mistake to let this go. I for one would be disappointed and really annoyed if this gets… Read more »
It’s frustrating because no one will actually take the time to write something about TNT’s series ‘Proof,’– or any show for that matter. BUT, if any series needs to be blogged about, it’s Proof. Between the facts and the curiosity of the afterlife, a billionaire diagnosed with cancer searching for answers, taking risks to experiment with an intelligent surgeon who lost her son, and the constant reminder of the thin dotted line between the living and the dead– it is a show anyone could get wrapped up in. This was an amazing show. Proof deserves another season. and so do… Read more »
