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?
it would figure a show that FINALLY has substance and a great story line, “may” end up on the chopping block. seriously? the viewers here are the ones who are watching the show and care about great viewing. perhaps “if” the network changed the day of the show to perhaps the beginning of the week when people are actually at home rather than out at the clubs and bars,…then I am sure it will pick up. this IS a great show, has a fantastic pot line and the show has great possibilities. cancelling it would only rove to us viewers… Read more »
Please keep the show.
I HOPE i am wrong but i was reaponding to tvfanatics post on fb on a few returning shows in the fall and i asked him about proof ( yes i know it is a summer show) he said thwt they arent absolutly positive but that proof isnt returning bc of low ratings!!!! Figures i get into a show i like and it gets canned but they would put like 20csis on
I too hope Proof will not be cancelled. I couldn’t wait to watch each new episode every week. Seems the networks don’t give new shows a chance anymore. Maybe Proof will be one of the exceptions???
Please do not cancel this show! Give it a chance to catch on.
I Icaught this series on amazon and was immediately lured into a marathon viewing. THis show is well written and very well acted. I will be in wait for a new season!!! Dont cancel!!
I really enjoyed this show. I was looking forward to the new season. Please don’t cancel! It is a very well done show,great story line,Amazing actors. As a stage 4 breast cancer patient, I found it very interesting. It’s a refreshing change, from all the boring reality shows. I love a good show with great writers
Please, please, please bring it back for a 2nd season.
Love this show!!! Don’t cancel it!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!!! I love this show. The actors are all incredible and I can’t get over the fascinating, innovative plot! I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
Please, please bring back this show.. I love it!!
Thank you!
Love this show don’t cancel!
Please don’t cancel. I really enjoyed the show. much better than so many of the reality shows
Please don’t cancel this terrific show, Proof. I couldn’t wait for each episode to come around again. There is enough subject matter behind the premise of this show for it to come back for several seasons.
Don’t cancel.
Proof was one of the best shows of the season. I hope it gets another shot. There have been many shows over the years that went big after poor ratings in the first season.
Don’t cancel, it is a great show!
