DVD cover art has now been released. On the front cover is the Hulk with an angry look on his face. I was hoping for Bill Bixby to be on the cover as well, but Ferrigno makes it happen.

UNIVERSAL MAKES IT OFFICIAL!
From tvshowsondvd: "Expect a 4-DVD set with each disc being single-sided (THANK THE LORD...and Universal!). Running time is 11 hours 33 minutes. Video is in the original full frame 1.33:1, and audio is in the original English Mono. English subtitles are also provided. We don't have the cover art yet, but we do know that the packaging is in the slim snap-cases with an outer slip cover."
"the set will contain both pilot telefilms, the 10 regular weekly episodes from the short first season, and a bonus episode from Season 2 ("Stop The Presses").
Sounds like Universal is trying to do the fans justice. (Here's hoping for a clean print of the episodes.)
***04/03/06***
Kenneth Johnson tells that the commentary on the pilot episode will be the commentary from 2003's "The Incredible Hulk - Original Television Premiere". The interview with Lou Ferrigno appears to be the same also. Yet there is still hope that new extras will appear on the release.
***03/31/06***
"The box will include the movie pilot with a full length commentary by Kenny [Kenneth Johnson] and an interview with Lou [Ferrigno]".
NOTE: It is not clear if this will be the same commentary track previously recorded on "The Incredible Hulk - Original Television Premiere" DVD released in June 2003.
***03/13/06***
According to Hulk TV series creator Kenneth Johnson's website, Big Green finally gets his First Season bow on DVD this July.
Maybe "Universal Home Video" has finally heard the cries of the people, considering the only thing we've had to watch of the Bixby/Ferrigno combination is the series "Pilot" and 2nd season opener "Married", 3 Made for TV Movies, and this bittersweet release of "The Incredible Hulk - The Television Series Ultimate Collection".
Universal...please don't "drop the ball" on this one. Give the fans more than just a bare bones release...Get Johnson and Ferrigno to do a few commentary tracks on "key" episodes...find some archival interviews/commentaries/footage with the late Bill Bixby and Jack Colvin (who passed away last year). Restore and Remaster every episode both in the visual and audio realms.
We know you can do this Universal, you know you can do this. To paraphrase Dr. David Banner in the pilot episode..."Universal, don't make us angry, you wouldn't like us when we're angry".
***Fans, buy Season 1 to ensure we get the remaining four***
All kidding aside...Thank you Universal for finally releasing this fantastic TV series to DVD.

Growing up reading the Hulk comics and watching the TV series, I became a pretty devoted fan. Something about how a guy who could turn into a giant when someone pissed him off seemed pretty cool to me:) At the same time, the live-action series brought some humanity to the comic book character. Imagine how disappointing it was for fans to see the characters from this very underrated dramatic series turn into a multi-million dollar mess in movie theaters...
But I digress...
This 6 disc collection of fan-picked favorites from the TV series is quite nostalgic. A few of the two-part episodes are included as well. My favorite has to be "Prometheus", where Banner/Bixby gets stuck between his human and Hulk-self.
For the current price (brand new), however, it seems like kind of a jip. There are only 3 shows (at most) to each disc - Keep in mind that without the commercials, each episode is only about 45 minutes. Also, no extra features to speak of...unless you count the movie trailers on disc one. I can't name the other episodes I would have wanted to see included in this collection...but I know there are several good ones missing.
Still, it's a collection worth appreciating. Bill Bixby was truly a great actor, and played his part in this series with an amazing range of skill. Even without dialog, Lou Ferrigno managed to win cheers and empathy for his work as the Hulk.
I know the dated special effects and styles may seem a little silly at this point...but the story lines and main characters in this series have held up quite well.
Enjoy!

That's right...I was unsatisfied! But not with this set, but with the fact that the rest of the episodes are not available!!! This set was awesome! But dissatisfying because it's missing all the rest of the best stuff!!! It's incomplete! UNIVERSAL HOME ENT: PLEASE RELEASE ALL THE SEASONS WITH REMASTERED PIC & SOUND! If they do, I'm positive they will all sell out the first day!!! I know I'll buy all the seasons!!! And the same goes for the "Six-Million-Dollar Man" !!!

Quality is excellent and the menus work in most DVD players ( but not all )
