Anecdotes
The opening credits show the Hulk picking up a car and rolling it down the hill. This was not a special effect. When they were filming the scene, the steel cable that was supposed to help Lou Ferrigno lift the car broke. It was 4 AM, cold, wet and Ferrigno had been working 18 hour days to refilm all the Hulk scenes for the pilot (the role had originally been played by Richard Kiel). Ferrigno was so frustrated that he decided to lift the car himself rather than wait for the special effects team to try to reset the cable.

Gaffes
When the Hulk breaks through a brick wall, (typically at the end of the show) the clothing that he wears changes between his approach to the wall, and to the view of him running down the alley, and this is repeated in several different episodes, which clearly looks like the same stock footage being re-used.

Narrator: Dr. David Banner, Physician/Scientist, searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation interacts with his unique body chemistry. And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.

Narrator: The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
David Banner: Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
[McGee witnesses an explosion from a building]
Narrator: An accidental explosion took the life of a fellow scientist and supposedly David Banner as well. The reporter thinks the creature was responsible.
Jack McGee: [voice-over] I gave a description to all the law enforcement agencies. They got a warrant for murder out of it.
Narrator: A murder which David Banner can never prove he or the creature didn't commit. So he must let the world go on thinking that he too is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.

Crédits fous
In the opening sequence, the lit up gamma ray display can be seen with the word "anger" on it, which is zoomed out to show the full word is "danger".

An excellent, well-written sci-fi/drama

I've been a fan of THE INCREDBLE HULK since 1979 (when I was only seven years old), and it is one of only two TV shows that matter the most to me (the other is UNSOLVED MYSTERIES).

Of all the comic book characters who have made the transition to television, THE HULK is one of the most effective ones. I don't remember what made start watching this excellent sci-fi/ drama, but I surmise that it may be due to the writing because it has many well-written episodes.

"Prometheus" is one of my favorites because of its science fiction approach. That's the two-hour episode where the Hulk is mistaken for an alien. The problem came after he was exposed to a meteor that crashed to the Earth. He is affected by its radiation, which enables him to revert only partially to David Banner. In other words, our hero gets stuck in mid-transformation!

My other favorite episodes include: "The First," "Married," "Mystery Man," "The Snare," "The Psychic," "Equinox," "The Harder They Fall," and "Interview With The Hulk." In addition, The 1977 pre-series pilot (simply titled "The Incredible Hulk") was a perfect way to start off the saga.

Another significant episode is "Proof Positive" because the Hulk's nemesis, newspaper reporter Jack McGee, is the primary focus. Plus, Dr. David Banner (played by the late Bill Bixby) is hardly even in this episode. And the only shots of him are distant to the point where you can't quite make out his face (meaning that a stunt double portrayed him in this episode). But the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) still appears in this story. (I mean, what's a HULK episode without the Hulk in it at all?)

A big gripe that many fans have about the HULK series is that a wrap-up episode was never made (because of the show's sudden cancellation). Still, it is a great show. And what pleases me is that THE INCREDIBLE HULK is now generating new fans, especially those who born after the series ended its primetime run.
