rdfs:comment

The Incredible Hulk was the fifth series to air in the Marvel Animated Universe. The series premiered on September 8, 1996 and ended November 23, 1997. There were two seasons and a total of twenty-one episodes. The Hulk was voiced by Lou Ferrigno who played the Hulk in the 1977 live action series, and the first time Ferrigno had speaking Hulk lines. The series was eventually named The Incredible Hulk and She-Hulk for the second season after the introduction and inclusion of She-Hulk. 1970s-vintage Live Action Adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics character, laced thoroughly with intentional Adaptation Distillation. It starred Bill Bixby as Banner and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno as his violent super-powered alter-ego. In the late seventies, the Incredible Hulk starred in his own long-running reality TV series of the same name. The format of the series consisted of the Hulk being given a massive overdose of gamma radiation in the first episode, after which whenever he got wound-up and angry, he would transform into a boring, white humanoid of no consequence called Bill Bixby, commonly known as David Banner. The rest of the series consisted of the Hulk having to hitch-hike the length and breadth of the USA in only a pair of shredded corduroy pants and try to find a way to rid himself of this dreadful affliction. As an added twist, viewers sometimes got to vote on what the Hulk/Bixby had to do next.

In the late seventies, the Incredible Hulk starred in his own long-running reality TV series of the same name. The format of the series consisted of the Hulk being given a massive overdose of gamma radiation in the first episode, after which whenever he got wound-up and angry, he would transform into a boring, white humanoid of no consequence called Bill Bixby, commonly known as David Banner. The rest of the series consisted of the Hulk having to hitch-hike the length and breadth of the USA in only a pair of shredded corduroy pants and try to find a way to rid himself of this dreadful affliction. As an added twist, viewers sometimes got to vote on what the Hulk/Bixby had to do next. One of the highlights of the series was a long-running confrontation with Brother Jack McGee, a Mormon zealot from Alaska, which began in episode 15 when McGee picked up the Hulk from a gas station and took him home for dinner, followed by a game of poker which McGee won. In a subsequent fit of anger, the Hulk transformed into Bixby and viewers voted that he should spike McGee's house-hold water supply with caffeine. As a result, McGee was constantly on the Hulk's trail for the rest of the series. However the Hulk proved to be the cleverer, successfully evading McGee and famously rubbing salt into his wounds in episode 43. The viewers this time voted that the Hulk should attempt to sleep with one of McGee's wives. However, the Hulk went one (or maybe FIVE) better when he gang-banged McGee's six daughters live on TV to an estimated world-wide audience of 300,000,000. 1970s-vintage Live Action Adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics character, laced thoroughly with intentional Adaptation Distillation. It starred Bill Bixby as Banner and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno as his violent super-powered alter-ego. The series was followed by three Made For TV Movies. The first was a Poorly-Disguised Pilot for a Thor series, the second was a Poorly Disguised Pilot for a Daredevil series (neither of which got made), and the last ended with the Hulk being Killed Off for Real, though this was not originally the intention, as the Hulk was going to be resurrected in a fourth film. However Bill Bixby's unfortunate and untimely death put a permanent end to any further stories in this series. Oddly, despite the many radical changes made to the concept - ranging from the character's first name (depending upon who you talk to, either the producers didn't want an "alliterative comic-booky name", or they thought the first name "Bruce" sounded stereotypically gay) all the way up to his enemies and locale - it managed to embrace and faithfully support the core idea of the original comic book. It remains one of three superhero adaptations from the 1970s that is remembered fondly to this date, the others being Wonder Woman and Superman.
