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?
Mistake, TNT. 🙁
Too bad. This was a thought-provoking and well-acted series. I didn’t think it could continue for 4 or 5 seasons, but i thought 2 seasons would be a lock! This and “Whispers” were my two favorite debuts, and both cancelled. Guess I better switch back to great shows like “Say Yes To The Dress” and “Duck Dynasty”. Yes, I’m joking.
I particularly loved the show and looked forward to watching every episode. The writing was good, though at times predictable. The characters were very likable as well. I really was looking to see where they might go with a second season because the beginning, middle and end played out like a well thought miniseries. I had a feeling that the writers may have backed themselves into a wall on this one. I just really enjoyed toying with the idea of what existed on the “other side”. It was thought provoking. But, continuing on the path it was going, if not… Read more »
Loved the show. Won’t watch another second of TNT till proof is on for a second season.
Bummer TNT! This was a quality show. Guess I will not invest any more time with TNT shows.
As the progression of the show went on, my interest grew with it, leaving me with the same questions. Sure the show started off slow but, when it got to the season finale, I sat there and said “WOW’ what a trip. Some of the things that were so interesting, It left me wanting more. Maybe another network could pick it up.
when are you taking up that collection. a bunch of boobs. sorry why do you keep rubbing it in. i would like the name of the head of any important dept. to tell him off. nicely. please you have so much garbage on tnt chuck it. give proof a different time slot. what about playing house are you going to can that too. here is you constructive discussion. be up front pull all stops why are you not renewing. we deserve an honest answer please.
Bring it back, very well done, looks forward to show each and every week
I agree, TNT needed to give the show more time to develop. I am so tired of shows with SEX and language. Proof as a decent clean show. Put it back
I knew this from the beginning. A great show with lots of promise but a subject that not everyone wants to deal with or believe in. I wish they had a season 2 scheduled. Please rethink this idiot decision. It needs time to develop and grow.
I SAW PHILADELPHIA WITH TOM HANKS. NEARLY SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. DEATH IS INEVITABLE FOR ALL. GOD KNOWS I LOST A FAIR SHARE OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE, I THOUGHT THE NAME PROOF, NO OFFENSE MAYBE DID NOT MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. MAYBE HOPE, DEALING WITH DEATH, YES, ALL THE TEARS YOU CRIED, WERE NOT ALL IN VAIN WHEN YOU LOST YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER, OR A CHILD. MY CONSTRUCTIVE WHATEVER IS OFFER IT UP TO ANOTHER CHANNEL,KYRA, CHANGE THE NAME EVEN IF IT MEANS WAITING OUT A BIT TO TNT, SHAME ON YOU. TAKE UP THAT COLLECTION. BETTER YET GETIN… Read more »
VERY WELL SAID, IF YOU ARE AN ACTRESS, OR ACTOR, GIVEN THE LINES TO SAY THE WAY TO ACT AND YOU DO YOUR BEST AND THEY CAN THE SHOW, THEN I AGREE, AS MUCH AS MAYBE WE WOULD HAVE HAD A GOOD SECOND SEASON, GIVE THESE ALL OF THESE ACTORS THEIR DIGNITY. JENNIFER BEALS, YOUR BEST WORK, WAS CHICAGO CODE, AND THE BOOK OF ELI. AND MATTHEW MODINE, YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE WAS A CHAPTER FROM SVU SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT. I AM JUST A LITTLE PERSON, YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. NO ONE DID TNT JUST CANCELLED I WOULD SHAKE IT OFF.… Read more »
In the DARK ages, 1950. You couldn’t say ” a woman is pregnant.” on TV. In the modern times, anything goes. I hope the cancellation of this program has anything to do with restricting subject matter?
I WOULD’VE WATCHED MUCH MORE
We are very disappointed that Proof got canceled and would definitely continue watching it for another season. Is there any hope of resurrecting it?
This show needs time to grow, give it a chance. With some of the shows on the air now, I really cant believe this has been shot down, what a shame.
I am done with your network. I will never watch anything you put out again. This was an outstanding show that just needed a little more time to catch on. You have given us the necessary “PROOF” to be able to say that you’re all nuts.
