Last updated: Most recent ratings added for The Lazarus Project.
There’s lots of data that TNT execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
Proof is an outstanding show.
It really makes you think which is rare for TV.
Unfortunately, I thought Percetion was intelligent viewing
as well but it was cancelled.
I really hope proof is renewed.
Please renew proof. Love it
This show gives people hope, even though it’s fiction and that’s what we need right now. It’s summer slot may not have attracted that many viewers due to vacations…etc. more advertising is needed.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Proof…I like it a lot. There’s something about intelligently written shows that always hook me. The only problem with that is that I liked another intelligent show, Perception a lot as well and it got axed. What scares me is that Proof has less viewers that Perception had.
Please renew Proof and Major Crimes and Zoo…. Please
Please renew “Proof” ……. I think it is a great series!!!
Please renew Proof. Outstanding show and it deserves a second season!!
It’s funny about TV shows. Sometimes I think they live on because of interesting characters or even the actors playing them. While other shows live on because the story lines are unique or tied to current events or even futuristic. Proof is a little of all of these and I have found the show one of the most intriguing shows, in quite a while. The actors are all strong and appear to be genuinely interested in the topic of the show. I admit that taking on one of the last great questions of life; is there anything after death, is… Read more »
I agree! You are right stating this is an intelligently written TV show. We fell in love with Proof in the first episode. We need a range of different types of TV shows. TNT is in a unique position to provide this to audiences to get away from the cookie cutter TV and give us better.
There are a few shows on TV that we watch religiously and this is one of those. The storytelling and acting are superior. If TNT reads this, please renew Proof for season 2!
Please renew “Proof” it has the quality of drama, the seriousness of subject matter and is well written and acted.
There’s a lot of story left to be told in this series, it just needs a better PR team to manage the promotion, ABC “Scandal” had a horrible first season but instead of canceling they learned how to use Social Media to bring it to the public.
You are so right on each point that you made! TNT needs a better PR team for ProofTNT! To name another show that had a horrible first two years “ABC’s Castle”. Now going into it’s eighth season. TNT needs to be patient. Proof will hit its stride in season 2⃣. We the Proof fandom are spreading the word to everyone and on social media!
Please renew Proof for a Second season I really like this show.
Please renew Proof for a second season. My husband and I both loved this new show. This subject matter has never been shown in a weekly series. Also need another season of Murder in the First. We watch a lot of the tnt shows, The Last Ship, Rizzoli and Isles, Perception, they are all our favorites. We miss Longmire too!
My husband and i really enjoy Proof, Please renew,! The writers could really go far with the storylines.
The storyline is so fascinating. I absolutely love this show…PLEASE renew PROOF…
I would LOVE a second season of Proof!!! Please don’t cancel my new favorite show!!! Please!!!!!!!
WE NEED A SEASON 2 OF PROOF
We need season 2 of Proof!! Don`t cancel it, it`s an amazing show!
I agree.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY I HOPE YOU READ ALL OF THESE, I REMEMBER WRITING SO THAT ANOTHER SHOW WOULD NOT BE CANCELLED. GOT ME NO WHERE. WE TAKE THE TIME TO LET YOU KNOW, PLEASE READ ALL THE REMARKS WE MAKE.
I agree with Angelo Lauria… Still disappointed about #ArmyWives not being renewed even tho viewers loved it and it was ranked highest on #Lifetime! Hope and want a ssn 5 of MAJOR CRIMES!
I agree!!!!
