One of the best television adaptations of a comic book, The Incredible Hulk (1978-82) lent gravity and pathos to the fantastic premise--an experiment gone wrong causes a scientist to transform into a giant creature whenever he becomes angry--established in the popular Marvel Comics series. The network version stripped away the Hulk's outlandish foes (as well as his rudimentary speech) and instead focused on the loneliness of his human alter ego, David Banner (well played by the late Bill Bixby), as he traveled across the United States in search of a cure for his affliction as well as an escape from a prying reporter (the late Jack Colvin, also terrific). But despite its Fugitive-like premise, the TV Hulk never lost its comic book audience thanks to the plausibly ferocious performance by actor/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno (whose growls were dubbed by actors Ted Cassidy and Charles Napier) as the Hulk, who handled the action portions of the show with plausibly superhuman brawn. The Complete First Season set contains both of the pilots that kicked off the series ("Pilot" was previously released on a separate single disc) as well as all 10 episodes from the first season; among the adventures encountered by David and the Hulk are a gambling scandal in Vegas ("The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas"), a meltdown at a nuclear facility ("Earthquakes Happen"), and a runaway plane ("747," which reunites Bixby with his Courtship of Eddie's Father co-star Brandon Cruz).
Extras on the set have been the subject of much Internet debate--the commentary by series writer/producer/director Kenneth Johnson on "Pilot" is the same as on the previous DVD release of this episode (as well as the introduction by Ferrigno), and a proposed gag reel mentioned in promotional material has been moved to a future DVD release. The sole fresh bonus material is "Stop the Presses," an episode taken from the series' second season. --Paul Gaita

I liked seasons three two, three, and four better, but I needed this one to complete my set. It was better then season five though. If you watch the others first, you will notice some differences, like the Hulk's appearance, also when he changes, and the intro is different.(I personally like the changes made after season one) An excellent choice, none the less!

The Incredible Hulk was one of my favorite classic TV shows by Universal and this abbreviated season takes me all the way back to memory lane when I used to watch this show every Friday night on CBS after WONDER WOMAN, since WONDER WOMAN & THE INCREDIBLE HULK were part of CBS's Friday night line-up back in the Spring of 1978 when THE INCREDIBLE HULK made it's debut on CBS after completing 2 successful TV movie specials, which were the pilot episode and the "Death In The Family" episode, which were ...

This show of the 70s is one of the greatest I ever saw in my youth.
