Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby in The Incredible Hulk series (1978-82)
z9MysTXM_P4
Starring Bill Bixby as David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk, CBS' The Incredible Hulk*tested the live-action waters with a 1977 pilot film before delivering*four seasons of pants-shredding action between 1978-'82. The series worked over the source material, changing Banner's first name and completely ignoring Rick Jones, Betty Ross, and General Ross; instead, Jack Colvin's intrepid reporter, Jack McGee, trailed Banner on his cross-country race for a cure.
Even though the stunts, effects, and formulaic plots are corny by today's standards, the*man-on-the-run vibe worked well. The writers treated Banner and his plight with respect, using Ferrigno and Bixby's acting chops to good effect. Hulk*may have wandered from its comics origins, but it*stayed true to the books' core concepts, and it still*inspires the many Hulks*who've followed in Lou's chalky green footsteps.*
When CBS canceled the series in 1982, fans were left dangling, unsure of Banner's fate. Fortunately, NBC later bought the rights, bringing Banner and his big green pal back for three follow-up TV movies, kicking off with 1988's The Incredible Hulk Returns. and concluding with 1990's The Death of the Incredible Hulk.*The second film in the trilogy, The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, is significant for including Stan Lee's first live-action*cameo.
