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 show! It’s been so refreshingly different with great acting and all.
keep it. It has an awesome story line with lots of twists. It is one of the best hospital shows I have watched.
Firs they get rid of ‘Black Box’, now it’s Proof! This is proof no one wants the American viewers to think about anything other than what the eye can see.
Absolutely LOVE this show! Please renew it:)
we watched every episode at my house. It was new and a fresh storyline. The actors were excellent. We would definitely like to see it return!
Keep the show!!! It’s awesome.
Didn’t know this was a mini series?! Of course since it isn’t vulgar, ignorant, or distasteful it will probably be cancelled. I love the series and wish it would continue. It kept my interest and kept me waiting for the next episode.
Keep Proof. So many stories can still come from it. Good actors and well written. AND believevable.
PLEASE PLEASE bring this show back! Writ
Ting is refreshingly good, original and engaging. Acting is excellent. For once a show that deals with a complex issue and keeps it complex. No violence or vulgarity of writing or message, and just well done. GIVE THIS SHOW ANOTHER CHANCE. Many first years are lower in ratings and catch on with time.
Please don’t cancel. I really tire of getting interested in a show that has a season finale leaving you hanging, only to find the series cancelled. Proof is a great show.
this program is different and very entertaining,plus the subject is one that has always made me and others hope for an afterlife. Keep it on cause compared with those reality shows are horrible!
I love the show. It should be renewed.
great finale, don’t cancel
Keep the show. I loved it!
I have enjoyed this show. I am worried that if they try another season it would ruin it. Some times the mini series are a better idea. 🙁
