Show Summary

  • Ended
Dr. David Banner was a research scientist trying to find a way to tap into the hidden strength that all humans possess. Then, one night in his labratory, an experiment went wrong, causing him to be overexposed to gamma radiation. Now, whenever angered or distressed, the mild-mannered scientist finds himself transforming into a powerful seven-foot green creature known as The Incredible Hulk. The creature is guided by David's personality, dealing with whatever distresses David. But unfortunately, David has no control over the creature's actions. Nor can he remember what he had done during his Hulkish states. He travels around the country in search of a cure, while taking various odd jobs under different aliases. During this odyssey, he tries to avoid the pursuit of investigative reporter Jack McGee, who suspects the Hulk of murder, and who is determined to discover the creature's true identity.moreless

    Ths show is brillant, truely brilliant. This show is not some silly comic book show, this show deals with serious problems many of the Episodes. Whats cool about this show is that David Banner goes from place to place every time, so there is always new characters to meet. The villians in the Episode are not Super Villians, but regular people. This show is very realistic. Children will like the show because of the hulk and adults will enjoy the story. The story's of each episode usually are very intelliegently written. In each episode you come to like all the characters, and wil find your self rooting for David Banner to become the Hulk.moreless

    I found this espisode one of the better of the season, especially the character of McGee. I think he never had so many screentime throughout the beginning of the show then in this episode.
    I also like the humor in this episode, especially the scene in the lift when David and McGee are 2 foot away from each other
    Also the scene where the Hulk was hit by a dart was very new and exciting.
    The only lose end was the transformation of the hulk the first time.
    Didn't they see that David was transforming in the Hulk? In the end, they must have come to the conclusion that David is the Hulk, no?moreless

    I wish they would bring the Incredible Hulk back to T.V. with Lou Ferringo playing the Incredible Hulk again. Or make a new show of the Hulk with new actors if Lou Ferringo doesn\'nt want to play the Incredible Hulk again. I watch every show they made on the Incredible Hulk I seen the each show more than once.It would have been nice if he had of talk once but he never did. The Hulk was a great show and still is in rre runs. One thing thing I can not understand is how when some one shots the Hulk that hurts him since he is so strong you would think it would not hurt him.moreless

  • Trucks, cars, chases and fun for everyone

    One of the problems David Banner frequently encounters is people taking advantage of him. Because he is a caring person, he is an easy target. This episode is no different. A woman truck driver turns on the charm and asked Banner to help with a favor. He gladly complies but soon finds that he was deceived. Thus begins a fun episode. There is drama and humor mixed from beginning to end.

    One of the interesting features of this episode is the "stock footage" used in some of the chase scenes. Clips from one of Steve Spielberg's first movies, Duel, are used several times. If you've scene Spielberg's film then you may find it comical to see how the directors of this episode keep the passenger in this car from view of the camera (since the original clips only had one person in the car). This one is lot's of fun for every viewer.moreless

  • Based on the Marvel Comic characters, but played with a deep sense of tragedy.

    I didn't expect to like this show so much, but Bill Bixby brings a great deal of talent to his acting, and conveys with tremendous skill a deep sense of the real tragedy that becoming the Incredible Hulk was for David Banner. The wandering life, the constant struggle to never, ever loose his temper or get an adrenaline rush - it does get to you, despite what we would consider today the truly terrible effects. Even Lou Ferrigno, whos job mostly consisted of busting out of shirts, managed a couple moments of grace. Sad note: Bill died of prostate cancer in November of '93 while directing "Blossom".moreless
