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?
GREAT SHOW – RE AUDIENCE WI GROWNEW
I love this show. I hope they bring it back.
One of the shows I really look forward to. The plot line could branch off into so many storylines. Plus it is something everyone can relate to. Life after death is one of the most sought after understandings of anyone’s life. My vote is to keep it!
Proof is an amazing show. Please keep it on. It gives people hope.
I think you should bring it back. It’s a great show and should be given a try for a second season.
This show is more than entertaining – I love the way one minute you are convinced there is an after-life then the next you think there is no after-life – I like not knowing what is going to happe next – please keep this well acted and written show on – characters are all interesting!!
Proof is a very compelling drama on a subject that most people want the answer to. Is there anything after death, be it heaven, our loved ones waiting to greet us when we pass. I love the show. I like the acting that Jessica Biels does in this series. She is very believable in the part. My husband and I recently lost a grown child! It is devastating to lose a child! I want to know if there is anything after we pass. I know watching a fictional show about life after death won’t give me an answer, but it… Read more »
Proof is an amazing TV series! The writing and the acting are excellent. No where on TV, can this range of talent be found. What makes Proof the great series that it is? Is’t not a cookie cutter show, no violence, i. e., against humanity just outstanding storytelling that this great team of Proof brings into our lives and living room each week. To not renew Proof would be a disgrace to the Proof Team and the Proof Fandom! TNT please renew Proof for Season 2!
Please oh please bring Proof back for many more seasons. There’s so much interesting material to cover yet…..such a different and interesting show.
This is an AMAZING TV show. I got goose bumps on more then one occasion and almost cried with joy at shock in the last couple minutes of the season finale. Please PLEASE renew it for a second season. Don’t pull a Firefly!! It seems they always cancel the really good shows 🙁
Please renrew Proof
KEEP. DEFINITELY!!!
This show presents a completely different perspective on life after death. It is well written and skillfully acted. Major characters are complex and a great deal could be done with it if it isn’t cancelled.
“Proof” is an excellent show! Extremely well-written and superbly acted. And very provocative! BRING IT BACK . . . PLEASE!!!!!
This is a great show and TNT is going to do it again cancel something that people really like. Dallas for instance. Please at lease give it a second season. I love the show and there others that like it here at my work place.
