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 not cancel this show. I LOVE IT!! And the summer is NOT the best time to introduce something new!! Put the nest season in the winter months so more people will have the opportunity to enjoy it! One of the best programs I have watched in years. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!
Love the show!!!!! Keep it.
Love this sow please keep, not all of us are between 18-49.
Love the show keep it!!
I kinda surprised myself with this show. I have never been a believer of life after death, but the show intrigues me. I think they have an excellent cast with very good acting, and hope the show returns next summer for season two. I never missed an episode.
I look forward to seeing each new episode. I think the acting is very good and do hope this show WILL NOT be cancelled!!!
I am sooooo encouraged by the great number of posts in favor of this show! And I am happy to see so many of the us in the more mature demographic here! Yay us! Now, I just hope THEY’RE listening! 😉
I love this show. It just keeps getting better. It’s one of the only shows on television that both my husband and I love. Fingers crossed they keep it.
Keep it. It’s a great show with a fanatic premise. The finale was nothing short of great. Once people discover the series, it will be a blockbuster. How about some advertising for it?
love this show lLet’s keep it
I think this is one of the most interesting shows TNT has ever launched! This is a great summer show — I never missed an episode!
I love this show. Interesting and a non violent plot. Great story line. I watched every single episode. Hope they renew it foe a second season. The actors are so believeable. It is great to see a divorced couple who still care about one another. Keeping my fingers crossed that it returns.
i love this show Proof. We never miss an episode. I love the finale and really, really want it continued. There are few shows I really enjoy and never miss. This is one of them. Please bring it back for a second season..
Love this show. It’s thought provoking and engaging with a great story line but each episode holds on its own as well. Acting is excellent as well.
Please don’t cancel it!
TNT should keep this show!!! I think it’s a keeper! I’m sure everyone is curious about the here_after and what their sci-fi version is. GREAT SHOW! My husband & I never miss an episode. Love it!! Hope they keep it!!
