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 keep this awesome show. It is so different than anything on TV right now. It is a great show!!
I love this show and really hope that TNT does the smart thing and renew this series. Proof is thought provoking and very well done. Please don’t cancel this series!
Please, please do not cancel this show!! There isn’t much on TV that I enjoy watching anymore. Please don’t take this one away too.
I love the show. It should be renewed. There are not a lot of shows that aren’t reality shows. We bed more drama.
I love this show.It has good characters,a different story line,explores new ideas.I don’t watch much TV,but I lost my husband 4 mos. ago to a rare & fatal cancer-he was 57.I hope they find something
Keep it…may have started a little slow but I am sure the ratings improved toward the end because I had so many friends mention it to me…send the stars out to promote it and the ratings will got through the roof…
I thought this show was strange at first. Why do we want to know plus I think I was scared to maybe find out more. But as I have watched this show I have become hooked! Loved the ghost at the church. That was an edge of your seat episode! Please please renew!
I love this show! I don’t know why the ratings are so low, this show hits home for many people. Then there is the cast…always been a huge fan of Jennifer Beals and Matthew Modine. Please don’t cancel this show! Perhaps more marketing would help get the word out.
This is one of about three shows I’ve watched this summer because it was one of the few good things on television. Bring it back!
In the times we live in, we need more shows like this. One that gives Hope, Faith and an excitement of having to wait for the next episode. I do believe there are enough of us out here that would love to see a second season. Please bring it back.
please keep this awesome drama! Great story line & acting! I am really getting sick & tired of the 18-49 demographic ! They are not the only people capable of spending money on this planet!
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW! It is one of the only shows that has any substance to it – opens people’s minds. And how great is it to see Jennifer Beals again! My only suggestion is to, perhaps, lighten it up just a tad – put a bit more humor into it – we love to see her smile!
“Proof” is an intelligent, thought-provoking show. The concept is engaging and something that all of us have pondered. I have been an avid fan from the beginning and sincerely hope that “Proof” is renewed for a second season!
LOVE this show! Please don’t cancel it.
PLEASE Keep!!! JUST LOVE IT
