The Incredible Hulk - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2006, 4-Disc Set)

This is from the TV Show where Bill Bixby stars as David Banner.

Right from there with the name change of the main character this didn't feel right for me when the TV show came on.

Then it started mimicking as the TV show 'The Fugitive', but just wasn't as interesting as that earlier TV show.

I was an Incredible Hulk comic book reader in the early 1960's and enjoyed his run in the Tales To Astonish comic series.

This is just not that Incredible Hulk.

However there are those that grew up with this TV version of the Hulk, and enjoy it immensely.

This is one of those classic television series which had a good run from 1978 to 1982.

The premise is that research scientist David Banner is accidentally exposed to toxic radiation. Then even the smallest agitation transforms him from man to monster!

Unfortunately the Hulk get very little screen time.

This DVD contains all 10 episodes from the show's first season plus commentary by producer Kenneth Johnson.

I have seen Kenneth Johnson at the SDCC and listened to him and others that were involved with the show. They were very interesting and I could see that they enjoyed their work on the TV show, but this is a DVD for only those that enjoyed the TV show.

I had to have this series on dvd because it was my favorite show and character as a child. Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Incredible Hulk make a great team traveling the country thwarting crime. The bad guys are no match for David Banner's alter ego and what great satisfaction it is seeing the fear on their faces when the big green guy shows up. With Banner's brains and the Hulk's brawn, there is no stopping them.

I like the fact that this DVD television series brings me back to the late seventies when I was still growing up. They don't make television like that anymore, and I really enjoy watching Bill Bixby's acting in the series. The plotlines are decent and there's a real thrill watching David Banner turn into the Incredible Hulk. Lou Ferrigno is one hell of a bodybuilder and he's got the mass and height to live up to the role of the Hulk. I really didn't dislike anything in particular, just wish Bill Bixby didn't have an untimely death from cancer years ago.

I remember watching The Hulk every Friday night when I was a kid. Once in a while my parents would take my sister and myself out for dinner and to the mall on Friday nights and I would plead with my dad to make sure we were home before The Hulk would come on at 8:00. I didn't care if I missed the Dukes of Hazzard which came on before The Hulk, we just had to be home before 8:00. Getting back to the DVD set, I bought it this past Sunday the 23rd and I've been watching it every night since. I finished the final episode of the set last night and I enjoyed the entire DVD set very much. It brought back such great memories of my childhood. I remember planting myself in front of the tv every Friday night to watch my favorite show, the house could have burned down around me and I wouldn't have noticed. If Universal decides to release season 2, I will definitely be buying it as well. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully they'll release season 2 very soon.

As a kid growing up in the 1970's I watched this Show Every Friday Night. Now years later I'm not a kid anymore. But I still LOVE The Incredible Hulk. And it doesn't matter if you bid on my auction for this DVD set. Or for that matter anybody elses auction for this DVD set. Just as long as you buy it when it comes out on July 18th. The better the sales for THE INCREDIBLE HULK-THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON DVD set. The better the chances of DVD Releases of THE INCREDIBLE HULK-THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON;THE INCREDIBLE HULK-THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON;THE INCREDIBLE HULK-THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON; & THE INCREDIBLE HULK-THE COMPLETE FIFTH and FINAL SEASON.
