TNT has decided not to renew their Proof TV show for a second season. The life-after-death drama has been cancelled after one short season of 10 episodes.
On Proof, Doctor Carolyn “Cat” Tyler (Jennifer Beals) lost her son, saw her marriage end, and became estranged to her teenage daughter. Looking for purpose, 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.
Debuting in June, Proof got off to a slow start with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.66 million viewers. The numbers didn’t get better as the weeks progressed and were often worse. The season ended up averaging a 0.31 in the demo with 2.12 million viewers. It was one of the lowest-rated scripted shows on the cable channel.
What do you think? Did you like the Proof TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
Really hope they reconsider bringing this show back. Really enjoyed it ,best in a long time
You should be cancelling Rizolli and Isles instead!! That show has gotten so corny! STOPPED watching it 2 seasons ago! HELLO? Loved PROOF!! It had substance with good character development. Even though I also believe in eternal life through Jesus Christ and salvation through Him alone, I was also hoping that avenue would be explored. PLEASE give PROOF another chance!!
I was intrigued to find out if the show would support evidence in life after death, as I know there is since Christ payed the debt of my sins by dying on the cross, which entitled me to His inheritance & eternal life with Him. Didn’t see any Christian concepts portrayed but was hopeful that path would be explored. Trying to find Episode 10 as my DVR didn’t record it.
My 17 daughter and I loved this show! I am so disappointed that you are canceling this show!
I am in the UK and had a friend send me me several dvds of shows we cannot get here, I loved this one and I’m sad to see it’s not being kept on, similar with CSI, why are ratings so important to you in the USA?
Your question is a good one, Keith. We seem to be driven by profit motive in a good deal of what we do. Somehow quality and entertainment get lost in the pursuit of money. Ratings are a poor measure of what programs should survive. I thought “Proof” was a good show. Unfortunately, my opinion evidently doesn’t interest the Network Executive.
Give me a break please. I plus a lot of my friends enjoyed this show. I don’t meet your demographics as I am a senior and very interested so let’s have a second chance. Maybe if you ran more ads about this show to promote it we may not have this problem. Run a second series
So sorry, to see this show cancelled. I was loving the show. Finally something different to watch. It was very interesting and loved the characters and stories. Please please bring it back for a second chance. I agree with the other comments about demographics. I know my father and friends really enjoyed it to and they don’t fit in that category. You really have something special here you should support!
We recorded the entire first season and are just catching up now. Loving it! Had hoped it would continue .
One of the few shows on TV that offered something different for a change. Hate to see it go. Bring it back!!
I sometimes think that network bigwigs are too stupid to do anything. They cancel a good show like Proof and leave other shows that are dreck on for years. Proof was one of only three shows that I watch consistently.
I am DEVASTATED by this cancellation!! Loved this show!! Please reconsider!! Best summer show ever!!
I absolutely love the show and they should not cancelled it.
loved the show, was hoping for more. Sorry to see it go. Maybe, netflix will pick it up like they did with Longmire. I think the rating system needs to be broaden. it looks like the decision to cancel is often based on a very small group i.e. 18-49. Sorry, but most TV watchers are older. go figure.
Was just looking up information on the show, to share with a group of women friends. That’s is how I found out it wasn’t going to be renewed! I loved the show! Very intriguing plot, refreshingly different. Very disappointed that it always the masses that make your decision to keep or delete a show.
I absolutely loved the show, one of the best I’ve seen in years. I was really hoping it would returning for a second season.
I hope TNT reconsiders or sells the rights to another network.
