When ABC cancelled Body of Proof, word was that cable channels like USA, TNT, and WGA America were interested in picking up the show for a fourth season.
ABC network president Paul Lee even said, “I would love to see Body of Proof find a good home for itself. I love Dana Delany.”
The sentiment wasn’t really a surprise since ABC Studios (which produces the crime drama) has been making the show at a deficit. They have had success selling it overseas but a fourth season would bring the series closer to having enough episodes for a lucrative syndication package.
Unfortunately, a new home couldn’t be found and Body of Proof is staying cancelled.
Creator Matt Gross broke the bad news, writing, “Valiant effort from #abc studios to sell #bodyofproof to another net, Sad to report there will not be a season 4 TOD 5:24pm 5-22-13 RIP.”
He followed that up with, “We tried, tried and tried. No stone left unturned-No one wanted to keep this show on the air more than #abc studios & me-We’re all bummed.”
Following the news, Delaney tweeted, “Thank you to all who campaigned for #BodyOfProof4. 3rd most watched drama @ABCNetwork thanks to you. I will miss Dr Megan Hunt & Co. RIP”
What do you think? Do you wish that a cable channel had picked it up? Would you have watched the show on cable?
Its a shame that this show was cancelled. I am sick of stupid reality shows of bad girls, fat kids & their fat mom, spoiled brat rich sisters, teen drunks & rednecks that are rich & cant go to a dentist or a barber. You cancelled 666 Park Avenue too & it was good as well. Get rid of 20/20 or Shark Tank or America’s stupid home videos. FFS, keep the damn show, Body of Proof is really good.
Gloria, I am right there with you, well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love Body of Proof. I cannot believe they cancelled this great show. Great acting, great storyline. We would follow it anywhere!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe another good show has gotten axed. Good content. Actors excellent and good chemistry-
Networks are all about reality non- substance- There are some of us who still enjoy good TV- Try to save
Thanks
I hope the show is picked ip by Netflix!!!!

re, body of proof, this is an excellent drama, it has a well known cast, good writing , very good everything. everybody loves ” dana delany ”,this really is a real loss for your loyal fans. Its too bad quality is not appreciated compared with some of the junk that pass” as entertainment. don”t give up, keep trying . hope to see you soon dana. best wish” jack.
Yes, I would definitely watch Body of Proof on another network. I thought it was great!
Yes the show would be watched on cable, it was watched on abc! This was good acting + good writing, why was the decision made to cancel it? Does every show have to be dumbed down reality tv or inane comedies? It really is ashame that so many of the people in positions of power don’t seem to be listening to what the people really want….
I cannot believe that ABC is cancelling their best show. It is well written and
Dana Delaney is excellent. I hope a cable network picks it up because itis a lot better yhan some of their shows.
Body of Proof should not be cancelled. It’s a great show. I love the new format. ABC started it midseason which was a mistake. People are already into the shows they started watching at the start of the season. If USA or TNT pick the show up they will be very smart. ABC’s loss is their gain.
This is one of the best programs on TV. Especially this year with the new cast. please bring it back!! AbC should keep it. The only reason they’re canceling it is because they had to give up dancing with the stars on Tuesday not fair to cancel!! Why not replace Tuesday DWTS with body of proof!!!!
I’m seriously upset I had such high hopes a cable network would pick it up! I loved this show and it will be sorely missed!
Very sorry to see another of the shows I like to watch, cancelled. That is Body of Proof. When I heard that Dana Delaney was coming back, I was glad as I missed the show, but to hear, so quickly after that, that it’s cancelled, hurtfull. Thanks however for seeing if a cable channel would take it. Surprised they didn’t. Yes, would have watched it there.
On a side note, good ending for last show. Satisfies a curiosity, at least, to some degree.
I am very sad about Body of Proof being cancelled. I really liked the characters. I liked the twists and turns of the story. It evoked a range of emotions. The character of Meghan Hunt was perfect for Dana Delaney. It’s too bad I won’t have that show to look forward to watching.
I love Body Of Proof! I think it is one of the best shows on ABC, or on commercial television. I would rather see Body Of Proof than some nasty disgusting show like Mistresses. Please keep Body Of Proof, for those of us viewers that enjoy quality programs.
I just watched the finale, not realizing it wasn’t just a season finale. When I saw all the loose ends tied up and no cliffhangers, I searched on yahoo.com and selected tvseriesfinale.com. I couldn’t believe it! I love this series and didn’t even give a passing thought that it might not be renewed. It may have been expensive to produce but the loyals fans were worth it! Advertisers got their money’s worth, I’m sure. Someone needs to pick this series up again and I hope it’s ABC!!!
