TNT has had both great successes and big disappointments when it comes to their original scripted shows. Which of the current crop will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!
Scripted TNT shows listed: Agent X, The Alienist, Animal Kingdom, Claws, Dallas, Falling Skies, Franklin & Bash, Good Behavior, I Am the Night, The Last Ship, The Lazarus Project, Legends, The Librarians, Major Crimes, Murder in the First, Perception, Proof, Public Morals, Rizzoli & Isles, Snowpiercer, Transporter: The Series, and Will.
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?
I love Proof, and the topic, there are no other shows like it. I hope TNT will give it a shot, please.
Proof is a great show, im 53 years old and i love it
I love The Librarians and Major Crimes!! Now after saying that, I’m just curious why the ratings system is only concerned with 18-49 year olds. I am within this age group, however, I believe there are a lot of older adults that watch tv just as much if not more than people in that group. Common sense leads you to believe that retirees have more time to watch television and usually more money to spend on things being advertised.
I couldn’t agree with you more Jennifer. I have aired the same opinion before myself. So I really don’t understand why the age grp of 18-49 is a more important grp. I can understand the younger crowd, maybe teens to 30’s, because of new trends etc. I still say that older people do watch more Tv, my parents did , and I’m 51 & watch more.
Why renew a very bad show with low rating like the librarians the bosses at TNT must be getting some kind of pay back because ratings are only going to get worse
I found Proof to be a very interesting series, give it a chance, do not cancel it.
I am hooked on Proof. Should have been advertised better. There is a strong following for this show. Very good writing and the players are believable. Good job please renew.
My wife told me there was no misuse of the Lord’s name in last weeks episode “Cry Havoc” of The Last Ship, as I had stopped watching the show. I just finished watching it and I want to send my gratitude to TNT that His name was not taken in vain. I got to see the sub destroyed!….:D
Proof is an interesting series, i think its worth to give it another shot for season 2
for henry baker. I was wondering how old you are. buy then i thought maybe he is using reverse physcology he simply made a comment proof is not being renewed. I was just wondering if he works for TNT/ or he does not want them to renew the show, or he typed this one night while sleep walking. for the administration at t nt when will you know what you are doing. patience runs out then we try to care but we lose that feeling. yes jennifer beals is a very good actress. well i don’t sleep walk so i… Read more »
Proof is a great show! Please do not cancel it. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Every comment that I’ve read says the same thing. Proof is an incredible show. DO NOT CANCEL IT. You’ll be disappointing so many viewers if you do!
HAVE YOU CANCELLED PROOF. I HAVE SEEN OTHER SHOWS WITH LOUSIER RATINGS AND NO STORY LINE, THAT GET PICKED UP. WE WRITE TO YOU BEGGING AND BEGGING FOR YOU TO LEAVE SHOWS THAT WE PAY FOR THROUGH CABLE CHANNELS. WE ARE GROWN UPS NOT KIDS. THE RATINGS DO NOT COME FROM THE HEART, OUT FEELINGS DO. YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT, IF YOU CANCEL PROOF I WILL JUST SAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS, I TOLD YOU SO. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES THIS LONG TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH A SHOW. RATINGS… Read more »
Watched the last three episodes of Proof! I am hooked!!!!!! More please!
Surprisingly strong numbers for The Librarians there
I really enjoy proof, I do believe if it is renewed it will be a show that can be successful for many seasons. The level of acting is production is well above the TV norm. I do hope it will be renewed, it is one of very few not on HBO or showtime truly worth watching.
I have read what everyone says about Proof. Why can’t the public let you know when to can a show. ah…… but then we would have to go with ratings again. Let’s try letters, you know A, B C D and the dreaded F. Every week the public gets to know how a show comes out. So get those A & B’ s. Sounds like a plan.
How many people have to beg for a show to be renewed? Proof has a massive following and needs more seasons. Cast is awesome esp. Jennifer Beals. Please don’t ignore the fans. TNT is better than that, I hope.
Every time there is a really good show with an
Interesting story and great acting it gets canceled! Please don’t cancel PROOF!
hi ma, don’t worry they will. you are so right. don’t feel bad did you see the posting above yours well i thought that one should be framed. live and learn, my motto………….
