Proof Positive is episode thirteen in season three of the live-action TV series The Incredible Hulk. It originally aired on January 11, 1980 on CBS.
Synopsis[]
When the publisher of the National Register leaves the paper, he leaves his daughter in charge. Unfortunately for Jack McGee, her decision to turn the tabloid into "respectable journalism" means that questionable stories such as UFO sightings and the Hulk are no longer considered appropriate for the paper. Desperate to protect his work and continue the hunt, McGee tries every move possible to convince his new boss that the Hulk is real.
