Product Description:
" Don t make me angry. You wouldn t like me when I m angry." Mild-mannered research scientist David Banner (Emmy nominee Bill Bixby) finds he must offer this heroic warning after exposure to gamma radiation transforms him into the terrifying and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Bursting from comic book pages into this 4-disc DVD set, the Complete First Season of The Incredible Hulk boasts all ten heart-pounding episodes, plus a preview episode from Season Two. Must-see bonus materials include the two original feature-length films, an introduction from The Hulk himself (Ferrigno), and in-depth commentary from producer Kenneth Johnson. Intense. Immense. Incredible!

Amazon.com:
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

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

I was a little disappointed that there were only 12 episodes in the first season. However, there was added footage, that was originally cut from episodes, that I had never seen before. That made up for it, for me.

I grew up reading Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and many more Super Hero comics as a kid. When this show first aired, it was a difficult pill to swallow. The story was changed and the Hulk effects were somewhat laughable, but they did get a couple of things right! They cast a very likable Bill Bixby in the lead role as David Banner and the shows had heart! Why they changed Banner's first name from Bruce like in the comic book to David?.....well from what I've heard from ... Read More

The pilot episode and the entire collection of episodes brought back a lot of memories, especially with the opening credits.

Back in the late 70's I was just a child already fixated on the power of episodic fantasy television. Even at this early age, shows like Star Trek, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Battlestar Galactica were mandatory viewing. But each of them paled in comparison to probably one of the finest comic book to television adaptations ever, The Incredible Hulk. Overseen by Kenneth Johnson of Six Million/Bionic Woman fame, this weekly show took some of the best aspects from the comic book, and added a few of ... Read More
