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?
I love this show, it’s one of the few that I actually watched and looked forward to seeing each week. I felt it was so thought provoking
Must renew wonderful show
Love the show my husband a along with my 17 year old granddaughter look forward to our family time on Sunday and Proof is one of our favorite shows we record it so we can watch it that day. Why is it that they keep the shows with all the shooting, drugs etc but a show like this that a family can sit together and watch with NO violence they don’t give ii the opportunity to continue
nooo!! it cant be cancelled..i really really love this show! so different from all other shows
Please do not cancel proof good show!!!!!it needed more time and many people are telling me about the show. Do not cancel please!!!!
I loved proof show mad it has been canceled !!!!
Wow! Cancelled? Amazing when such an intriguing, well-written show goes belly up and there is so much trash on tv. Too bad, but I guess the Kardashian-minded folks win and of course that is much cheaper to put out there.
Hopefully another network with more foresight will pick it up and run with Season 2! I’ll surely miss it otherwise and so will my DVR because it was an automatic record.
Is it too late for me to put in my vote to return Proof for a 2nd season? I really miss it!
It got canceled
One of the better shows on TV. Please bring it back!
Please bring back Proof! I really enjoyed it…..I am very disappointed that its being canceled! There are so many crazy violent shows on that keep getting renewed… all about sex, blood & gore… unreal aliens….But Proof was/is something I could let my grandson watch…. Its so sad that are children can grow up watching blood thirsting vampires, flesh eating zombies, aliens from other planets that want to destroy the world, and worst of all, the very realist view that technology can turn into Robots, or a super computer that wants to wipe out the human race. All these shows are… Read more »
