The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Series [DVD]

I collect old TV show DVD sets and this complete series Studio set of The Incredible Hulk DVD was a great find at a great price. It brings back memories from my childhood, and I love the nostalgia of watching these old shows anytime I want, and doing it without commercials. Studio sets of DVD’s are superior to most other DVD sets and this set is quality. Universal Studio did a great job with this box set. This set is of all 5 seasons of the show. Season 5 was a short season , when it ended . All seasons are in their own clamshell case which I love. See the photos of the set.

I was just a kid when this program was being aired on television.I first saw it when I was about seven years old and it made a huge impression on me. I remember clearly hiding behind the couch when David Banner morphed into the Hulk and being so sad at the end when he had to go out on the road again with that haunting music playing in the background. I never forgot the series and since I was not able to watch every episode of each season, it was a really great when I received this set in the post. The box is of good quality and durable. I think the graphics showing the changing of David Banner from himself into the Hulk on the front cover is fantastic. The quality of the DVDs is very good and I love the details like each DVD cover having a different exciting picture of the Hulk or David Banner or the changing process in between. Things like the green DVDs and the raised lettering on them all add to the solid impression that this is a collectors item and that the people who designed this set really did it with passion and an attention to detail.As if they too are fans and really wanted to do this subject as much justice as possible. It was nice to take a trip down memory lane, to see the clothes and cars of my youth, to see the people and how they were, compared to what we have now become. Obviously seeing things through the eyes of an adult one also sees just how much our society has evolved in positive ways as well. The Hulk still manages to make a believable impression, the story's are good and Bill Bixby and Lou are simply untoppable. My seven year old son is watching the series with me and also has great interest, it's a strange sense of deja vu seeing him watch something I used to love watching, as if the Hulk is reaching out through the generations. The other day he was running through the house with no shirt roaring at everybody! Even my wife watches some of the episodes, and she is not a Sci fi fan! My conclusion is, great quality, great detail and still interesting after many years. The price is also not bad, so go out and get it, and be prepared to roar!

I watched this show in the 70s when it first came out on television. It came on back to back with The Dukes of Hazzard on a Friday night. I ordered these on January 20 and received them January 22 and I started watching them immediately. The next day I did a Google search for Bill Bixby and I learned that his birthday was January 22. Strange coincidence. It took me 11 days to binge watch all the episodes. I wanted to make sure there were no defects that would warrant returning them within 30 days. It's a wonderful series with some exciting episodes, but such a sad story for Dr. David Banner.

I just love all the old shows from the 70's and 80's. While it's nice to be able to use streaming services (Like Amazon!) I enjoy buying DVD's for 1 main reason. If I have it, then I have it. Period. For example - I was really enjoying streaming Quincy, M.E. on another stream server - when I was in about season 6, something must have happened with their licensing, and it became unavailable. Frustrating. I'd buy it, but IT'S NOT AVAILABLE - Hello - whoever holds the copyright - MAKE IT INTO DVD!!! Now - on to the Hulk. My set came and is exactly what I expected. No disappointment here. I've watched the pilot and am pleased with the quality. I just LOVE re-watching this old show that I loved back in the day and at the current sale price (28.99 for the entire series AND free Amazon prime shipping) it's UNBEATABLE. A note to others who own the rights to other shows - there are tens of THOUSANDS of us who will buy old shows if you bring the price down to an affordable level. Other reviewers have mentioned the packaging. I kinda like the box with the bubble lettering. It's neat. That said, I would have preferred that they stacked ALL the DVD's and made the box deeper and less wide - thus enabling it to fit in peoples standard "made for DVD" shelving units. Of cource you can remove all the slim jewelboxes and store them that way. Others have commented that it's "re-packaging". I say SO WHAT? I have nothing against slim jewelboxes. Heck, each DVD has it's own case - how better protected could it be? It is, however, kind of amusing that the first DVD contains your free ticket to a movie that has been out of the theaters for several years!!! Bottom line - if you liked this old series - BUY IT NOW - The price is unbeatable and the quality is just fine. Hope my review helped some of you... Ron

Universal Studios finally releases this beloved TV adaptation of the popular comic book starring Bill Bixby as brilliant and noble scientist Dr. David Banner who undergoes an accidental overdose of Gamma radiation, turning him in times of emotional or physical duress into the Hulk (played memorably by Lou Ferrigno) that David has no control over, forcing him (due to extenuating circumstances) to take to the roads as a homeless wanderer trying to find a cure for his condition, relentlessly pursued by a tabloid reporter (played by Jack Colvin) who wants to uncover his secrets. Produced, and sometimes written and directed, by veteran TV producer Kenneth Johnson, who wisely grounded the series in reality, as David helped ordinary people in need, or the Hulk throttled the criminals, rather than supervillains. Looking superb in HD, a huge upgrade over the DVDs from 2006-2008, this ports over all the extras from those sets (with the sole exception being the Edward Norton interview). Nothing new was added unfortunately (I'm sure Kenneth Johnson would have if asked) this is still a must have for fans who want to view this classic series that ran for 5 years (1977-1982) and 85 syndicated episodes. The finest TV series adaptation of a comic book ever made, this still holds up remarkably well, and is quite suitable for its intended family audience, Bill Bixby as David Banner is still admirable, a tragic, yet inspirational hero to us all. A rotten shame it was cancelled without proper closure, and that does depend on your view of those three reunion films from 1988-1990 that Kenneth Johnson was not involved with and are not included here either

G. Garner was spot on. Bill Bixby made the show. My 12 year old son, who I named David, is starting to enjoy watching the show. I hope he can mirror the attributes of David Banner. I try to teach him how to pay it forward, to help strangers in any way possible to make the world a better place. David Banner was a character ahead of his time as this is what he does while searching for a cure. He doesn't want to get involved yet his conscience won't let him leave a location/situation until the issue has been resolved. For not being able to speak Lou Ferrigno does a great acting job being able to convey his emotions other than anger. He let out an earth shattering roar when he realized Elaina was dead in the pilot and his body motion leading up to that (his facial expression and heavy breathing) made me believe that he understood. He smiles and shows a lighter side when near children. It's clear he can show the same compassion that's demonstrated by David Banner. I love to see the legacy of the Hulk continue by seeing Lou in The King of Queens. Although he only appears in 6 episodes there are a few Hulk references. One episode that is one of my favorites is called Gym Neighbors where Lou has a significant role as trainer to the lead characters Doug and Carrie. I like to believe Jack McGee really thinks the Hulk is good as he saved his life in Mystery Man and there were numerous other situations of him witnessing the Hulk righting a wrong. I'll be looking closer for this as I watch all the episodes. I was turned off by the Hulk movie made in the early 2000's, particularly the Hulk with CGI. I liked the idea of the Hulk being played by a real person. And no one could replace Bill Bixby or Jack Colvin. The original series will be the only part of The Incredible Hulk that I will remain loyal to.

The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Series First off, it's truly "incredible" to finally have this classic series in a full box set. This series is what made the Marvel Comics character a household name. It was also the star-making series for Bill Bixby, gaining him far more recognition from the public than any of his other series, combined. Great packaging, and the slim DVDs are nice. The remastering of the 70s show is just spot-on. For the entire series, we have only two complaints. 1) This box set does not feature the lenticular covers that the individual season box sets feature. This is a disappointment for those who waited to buy the complete box set. Those who waited did NOT get anything extra there for our patience. This is especially problematic and disappointing for those who bought this set early on at full price. As of this writing, the lowest price is $30, which is a VERY nice price for a new set. Despite the nicer price tag for those who wait, the lack of the lenticular art is still a disappointment. Yes, it costs a little more for the special disc cases, but it's something that should be considered for those fans who (like us!) were looking forward to them. 2) Selection of commentary. If you bought the "Pilot"/Married" disc with commentary, you will have already heard producer Kenneth Johnson's commentary. So that is a disappointment there. There are other discs with the same commentary, so why plug "commentary" on those particular episodes if there are ones with the same commentary elsewhere? It's quite frustrating. Speaking of frustrating, Kenneth Johnson makes repeated references to how much more effective the shots could have been had the "morphing" technology existed then, noting the "Wolf Man" style shots of the metamorphosis (as in, take a shot, cut, add more make-up, cut, et al). Our opinion is that it is for that entire reason that the show is so memorable and quaint. Yeah, there are lots of things that could be done different 30 years later, but the series would not be the same had it been done in 2000, as opposed to 1970. Also, as a special feature, they "re-run" the episodes, "Stop The Presses" and "Homecoming", which, while interesting episodes, what is the point of putting an episode as a special feature on a DVD box set, where you'll see it anyway? Back to commentary. Prometheus is a GREAT episode to put additional commentary on. The challenge of cutting back and forth from Bill Bixby to Ric Drasin and having to wear the "white eyes" contact lenses for most of the two-parter was terrific. However, we would have liked to see commentary on "The First", discussing Harry Townes (Del Frye) and Dick Durock (Frye's Creature), and how they reacted to the contact lenses and the makeup and such, especially Townes, who was a frequent guest star on 60s television, and has a very distinctive voice. We're sure fans would have loved to hear the genesis of such an episode. Especially since this episode was included on the "Ultimate Television Series Collection" 6-disc box set. Aside from those two (admittedly minor) gripes, this is a superb box set and definitely worth it! If you don't buy this box set, you will make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

DVDs are fantastic but the show is no where near as for as I thought it would be. David Banner turns into the Hulk over the slightest agitation. First episode, he gets a flat tire in the rain, flips out, hulks out, flips the car. In one episode he Hulked out because he was put on hold while he was using a phone booth. In one episode he’s in the back of a cab and they get stuck in traffic and so guess what, he Hulks out. I guess if I was the Hulk I’d be turning into the Hulk every 5 mins in my morning commute ffs
