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?
Renew. Renew, renew.
I really enjoy Proof and hope it gets a second chance.
If I was head of programming at TNT, I would not have canceled Perception.
i have enjoyed this series tremendously. Jennifer Beal is terrific, as are Matthew Bodine and the supporting cast. Please renew it! I have friends who have experienced an NDE and been changed forever. Since we all die, what better subject to script for mass media? I vote RENEW!
Real issues, well acted-artful. Keep it!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL PROOF!! IT IS SUCH AN AWESOME SHOW!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW IT FOR ANOTHER SEASON!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!! IT DOESN’T HAVE ALL OF THE CRIME JUNK ON IT AND ACTUALLY DEALS WITH A TRUE PHENOMENON!!! THANK YOU 🙂
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this show…. The cast is incredibly good and the story is very interesting. The Season Finale was great. Please renew, this show. For those of us who have losta child/loved ones recently, it has been amazingly hopeful and helpful.
TNT’s Proof is one of the best new shows on TV! I don’t understand why there are mixed reviews; it must be politically motivated. The characters are well developed. Dr. Cat Tyler, Zed, Ivan Turing have sub-plots going on that makes you care about what is going to happen next in their lives as they hunt for scientific proof of life after death. Will Dr. Cat Tyler lose her daughter in a messy custody battle? Will she lose her license to practice medicine? Will Zedan return to Africa? Will Ivan Turing lose his company to his messy sister?
