Airing from 1978-1982, the original Incredible Hulk TV series is fondly remembered as a pioneer of superhero adaptations. Centering human drama over superpowered punch-ups, Bill Bixby's David Banner and Lou Ferrigno's Hulk are iconic. The show is entertaining and still holds up well today, but there are some things that don't work so well, and the series ended in a way you might not expect.
In this video, I'll break down the history and influence of the series, the best and worst episodes, about the actors and much, much more (including a little about She-Hulk: Attorney at Law). So sit back for this ridiculously long breakdown of one of my favourite shows (for better or worse) - the Incredible Hulk.
