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?
Keep it. I love it.
Please keep this show. I didn’t even know about it until the 6th episode and was so happy to have “on demand” tv where I could go back and catch up! It is very interesting and many times kept me on the edge of my seat! I have been telling everyone I know to watch it! Please bring it back next year! This could be better than Grey’s Anatomy once more people learn about it and “get hooked” !
Please bring it back. It is refreshing to watch a show with a unique plot line and thought provoking underlying question
I am in the 55+ demographic and I love Proof and so do my friends. We have a club where we discuss shows each week and Proof has been at the top. We can’t wait now that she has proof there is life after death. Would be good if she got rehired.
This is a real good show. Very thought provoking. We get real tired of the number of inane cop shows that bring you viloence and death on a regular basis with sex mixed in.
We really hope that Proof can come back for more seasons.
Renew, but with major tune-ups on the secondary plot lines, which tend to gum things up.
I really like the show. I would love to see it renewed
I like when they did some case files
Thought it was a great finale
Please renew Proof, this is a great show and a lot of people haven’t heard of it. More advertising might help as well!!!
Please keep Proof! It’s one of the best shows out there. With all the trashy shows out there, this show needs to stay and the trashy shows need to go.
Must keep. Very interesting and thought provoking. Want to see how this plays out.
You must keep this show on the BEST TV DRAMA IN A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME AND ITS DIFFERENT FROM ALL THESE OTHER SHOWS.. TNT WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO HAVE A SEASON TWO
I agree. Please keep Proof. I’m watching what you put in its place and it’s trash!
Definitely renew….a great show! I am in the 50+ demographic and love this show!
KEEP Proof on. Let people find it and/or advertise it so people WILL find it. We are in an age of many wanting and asking the question of NDE and Life after Life!!!!! Cancel some other inane show. PLEASE!!!
omg!Pls im waiting for the season 2. i so love this series…love yah JEnnifer!!!
I am of the 49+ demo. We still buy things. I guarantee that if my demo were included, the ratings would soar. Not that we old people perseverate on death, but, this program intellectually is sound and very interesting. I know most of my elderly friends are watching and will watch next season when it is renewed. I only wish there were more eps for this season. Terrific show. Gotta go. Need to buy a new skateboard and iPhone. Yep, we do buy things still, a**hole advertising companies and networks! LOL
We must keep it, I am telling everyone about it and there will be many more viewers next year!
I agree with you
Renew
