=============================================================================
"The Incredible Hulk" was a television series that aired on CBS from 1977 
until 1982. Inspired by Stan Lee's comic-book creation, the series was 
very popular in the late 1970's and early 1980's. In 1988, the Incredible 
Hulk returned to television in a series of successful TV movies for NBC. 
Three movies aired between 1988 and 1990, all to respectable ratings. A 
fourth movie was planned, but appears to have been shelved since series 
star Bill Bixby passed away.

Cast and Crew:
===============
David Banner  - Bill Bixby
The Incredible Hulk - Lou Ferrigno
Jack McGee  - Jack Colvin
Adapted For Television - Kenneth Johnson

Origin Of The Hulk
====================
 In 1962, Marvel Comics started a new comic book series called 
"The Incredible Hulk". Written by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby, it 
told the tale of a nuclear scientist who transformed into a powerful, but 
primal creature.

 A social misfit, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner (called Bruce) was bombarded
by gamma radiation when a communist spy detonates the gamma bomb that he
created. Suddenly Bruce gains the ability to transform into a huge green
creature with enourmous strength whenever he is angered.

 Though very strong, the Hulk does not possess Dr. Banner's 
intellect and is driven by a raging fury. Hunted by the military and 
other super-heroes, Banner is forced to keep his identity a secret from 
the world.

 The Incredible Hulk was not popular when first printed, but 
eventually caught on and became a roaring success (excuse the pun)! 

The Hulk On Television
=======================
 The Hulk first appeared on the small screen in a television show 
called "Marvel Super-Heroes" which aired in the 1960s. Using crude 
animation and the original comic-book storylines, the Hulk faced a 
different adventure every week.

 When the Hulk was brought to prime time television, producer 
Kenneth Johnson recognized that a series about a man who transforms into 
a green monster would have a difficult time catching on with a prime-time 
audience. With the approval of Stan Lee, Johnson reworked the entire Hulk 
storyline to make it more appealing to an adult audience.

 Bruce Banner was changed to David Banner because Johnson thought 
that the name Bruce sounded too stereotypically gay. The Hulk's origins 
and characteristics were also changed.

 Instead of being mutated by an explosion, television's Banner was 
mutated by a laboratory experiment gone wrong. While searching for key to
the hidden strength that all humans possess (known as the "fight or flight 
syndrome"), David discovers that Gamma radiation is the key to this 
temporary surge of adrenaline. Banner's physiology lacks sufficient gamma 
radiation to produce the effect and his wife died as a result. In order 
to make sure that such a situation never happens again, he takes a gamma 
injection in his laboratory. At first, he feels no ill effects, but as 
soon as he loses his temper, he's transformed into the Hulk. 

 Fearing what damage this uncontrollable creature is capable of, 
Banner seeks to reverse the process, but is thwarted when a fire in the 
laboratory kills his colleague. Jack McGee, a reporter for a seedy newspaper
mistakenly assumes that the Hulk is responsible for the fire and the 
death of Banner's colleague. Banner is also assumed to have perished in
the fire and McGee believes that a deadly creature is now loose in the
United States.  McGee makes it his mission to capture the creature and 
becomes obsessed with achieving this goal. David, who isn't really dead, 
is forced to travel from place to place in search of a cure.

 The series borrowed heavily from the old "Fugitive" television 
show. Each episode found David in a new place, meeting with new people 
and getting involved in different adventures. Mr. McGee chases the Hulk 
(and David) relentlessly, adding further problems for the fugitive 
scientist in search of a cure.  

 The creature itself has been reworked from the comic book. While 
the original comic-book Hulk was seven feet tall, weighed a thousand
pounds and was capable of lifting more than a hundred tons, the television
Hulk was less impressive.

 Obviously, there are no people big enough to play a character as 
large as the comic book Hulk, so the television Hulk was a bit smaller 
... nearly seven feet tall and weighing more than 330 pounds.
Television's Hulk never lifted any objects as heavy as the comic book 
Hulk did (probably because of budget restraints), though there never 
seemed to be limits placed on the television Hulk's physical strength, 
either. In the comic book, the Hulk was capable of speaking and had 
bullet-proof skin. Television's Hulk never spoke and could be injured by 
bullets and other sharp objects. However, the TV Hulk had an incredibly 
fast metabolism which enabled quick healing to occur.

The Opening Narration
=====================
Doctor 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 alters his body chemistry. And now, when
David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
   The Creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative
reporter.
   "Mister McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm
angry."
   The Creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is
believed to be dead, and he must let the world think that he is dead,
until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within
him...

What Causes David To Turn Into The Hulk?
=========================================
 David's DNA has been altered by the accidental overdose of 
gamma-radiation he received when he took the gamma injection. Whenever 
David experiences extreme emotional responses derived from anger, pain or 
panic, he transforms in the Hulk.

Why Is McGee Obsessed With Capturing The Hulk?
===============================================
 The character of Jack McGee was modelled after the character of 
Javert in Victor Hugo's book "Les Miserables." McGee is determined to 
prevent innocent lives from being destroyed by this "rampaging 
creature"  and to use the publicity to revitalize his stagnating career 
as a reporter. 

Does McGee Ever Find Out David's True Identity?
================================================
 No. Initially, McGee believes that the Hulk is simply a monster 
that's uncontrollable and must be stopped. In the second season episode 
"Mystery Man", McGee learns that it is a human being that transforms into 
the Hulk. Throughout the rest of the series, McGee chases "John Doe" (his 
name for the man in question) and learns to respect the man as a human 
being, as well as accept the fact that John Doe and the Hulk are very 
different individuals. McGee never makes the connection that John Doe is 
really David.

Does Anybody Else?
===================

Yes. On numerous occasions, people David met up with discovered his
identity, usually by seeing him un-Hulk. He did, on occasion, tell
people that he was the Hulk as well.

.Notably: Emmerson Fletcher
.. Dr. Caroline Fields
.. his father, D.W. Banner 
.. his sister, Helen Banner

Did The Hulk Ever Fight Any Animals?
=====================================
Yes,
- in "Death In The Family", the Hulk battles a bear.
- in "The Beast Within", the Hulk battles a gorilla.
- in "Jake", the Hulk wrestles a bull.
- In "Mystery Man", the Hulk battles a pack of wolves.

How Many Times Was David Married?
==================================
 Twice. David's first wife Laura was killed in a car accident 
prior to the pilot. He married Dr. Caroline Fields at the beginning of
the second season, but she died as a result of her infliction with Lou 
Gerrig's disease. Throughout the series and TV movies, David has been 
involved with many other women, but those were his two official marriages.

Did Any Actors Or Actresses Appear In More Than One Hulk Episode Or Movie?
============================================================================
Yes ... a few actors and actresses appeared in more than one Hulk 
adventure, including:

Gerald McRaney: "Death In The Family", "Death Mask" & "The Disciple"
Robert Alda: "Terror In Times Square" and "My Favorite Magician"
Laurie Prange: "Death In The Family", "Prometheus"
Diana Muldaur: "Homecoming", "Sanctuary"
Paul Koslo: "Long Run Home", "Veteran"
Carol Baxter: "The Beast Within", "Prometheus"
Charles Napier: "The Slam", "Triangle", "The Incredible Hulk Returns"
Sandra Kearns: "Jake", "Two Godmothers"

Did Any Of Bill Bixby's Former Co-Stars Appear On "The Incredible Hulk?"
=========================================================================
Yes,

- Brandon Cruz, the boy who played Eddie in "The Courtship Of Eddie's 
Father" appeared in the first season episode called "747."

- Ray Walston, the actor who played the Martian in "My Favorite Martian" 
appeared in a third season episode called (humorously enough) "My 
Favorite Magician."

- Mariette Hartley co-starred with Bill Bixby AFTER they'd worked on
"Married" together (in "Goodnight Beamtown").

The Incredible Hulk vs. Steven Speilberg
=========================================

 Action shows in the late 70s and early 80s often used stock 
footage from other movies and television shows as a means of cutting 
costs. "The Incredible Hulk" was no exception, and often made use of 
stock footage, especially during it's early episodes.

 Steven Speilberg attacked the series and producer Kenneth Johnson 
over the use of footage from his movie "Duel" in a Hulk episode called 
"Never Give A Trucker An Even Break." While Speilberg was unable to take 
legal action (Universal studios owned the rights to "Duel" and "The 
Incredible Hulk"), he subsequently modified his contracts on future 
projects to include a clause which protected them from being used as 
stock footage in other films. 


What Are Some Significant Episodes In The Series?
===================================================

story about overcoming a disability.

- "Danny" - touching story about a woman trying to break out of a life of 
crime.
- "A Minor Problem" - Final episode of the series.

What About Some Forgettable Hulk Episodes?
===========================================
Every series has some bad episodes and "The Incredible Hulk" is no 
exception. Some of the more forgettable episodes include:
- "Babalao"
- "The Lottery"
- "Long Run Home"
- "Slaves"

Was "The Incredible Hulk" Cancelled?
=====================================

 No. According to Kenneth Johnson, the Incredible Hulk was still 
garnering impressive ratings at the time the series ended. Johnson had 
found it difficult to work with Bixby and Ferrigno and decided to end the 
series at the end of the 1981 season. CBS aired several leftover episodes 
during the 1981-82 season, along with reruns in order to give the Hulk a 
fifth and final season. Bixby went on to star in the short-lived 
"Goodnight Beamtown" and take up several directing projects. At the time 
of his death, Bixby was directing the television series "Blossom". 
Ferrigno starred in the series short-lived television series "Trauma 
Center" as well several theatrical movies, including "Hercules" and 
"Sinbad".

What Other Super-Heroes Did The Hulk Meet Up With?
===================================================
 In the original series, the Hulk never met up with any other 
Marvel Comics characters (though the villain in "The Snare" is similar to 
Kraven The Hunter). However, upon relaunching the Hulk into a series of 
TV movies, Marvel Comics sought to bring several other characters to the 
small screen. In "The Incredible Hulk Returns", the Hulk met Donald Blake 
and his alter-ego Thor. Following the success of this film, Marvel signed 
a deal with NBC to bring at least two more television movies to the 
screen, starring the Hulk and another character. Daredevil, Iron Man, and 
The She Hulk were expected to meet up with David in subsequent adventures.

 Rex Smith (of "Street Hawk" fame) played the blind super-hero 
Daredevil in "The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk", which also featured 
John Rhys Davis as the criminal Wilson Fisk (known as the Kingpin in 
Marvel comics). Marvel had hoped for a Daredevil series to spin off, but it 
never materialized.

 For some reason, the idea of introducing other heroes lost its
appeal and the final film, "The Death Of The Incredible Hulk" was purely 
a Hulk-only adventure.

Was "The Death Of The Incredible Hulk" The Last TV Movie That Was Planned?
===========================================================================
 No. Though the Hulk was killed at the end of "Death Of", there 
were plans to bring him back to life in a fourth movie. Gerald DiPegio 
(who scripted "Trial" and "Death Of") had written a script for "The 
Rebirth Of The Incredible Hulk." Bill Bixby had put the project into 
pre-production and was negotiating with CBS and ABC to produce it. Bixby 
became ill during this time and the project was abandoned. When cancer 
claimed his life, the project was dropped.

Feats of Strength
===================  
Though not as strong as the comic-book Hulk, the Hulk in the series 
performed many impressive feats of strength, including:

- Smashing through brick walls
- Overturning cars
- Breaking chains
- Kicking over a mobile home
- Spinning a ferris wheel
- Holding down a helicopter
- Overturning a tank
- Smashing through countless doors
- Throwing many people across a room
- Lifting up a jury box filled with jurers
- Overturning a forklift
- Breaking out of a freezer.
- Uprooting large trees
- Roaring at people, thereby creating a gale-force wind

              THE INCREDIBLE HULK DRINKING GAME

A drink is defined as one swallow of the beverage of your choice. Take
care when using alcohol, and remember that the green creature in this
program is *supposed* to be there!

Take one drink when:

- You see David hitch-hiking (doesn't matter at which end of the
episode)
- He Hulks out and we see his shirt rip
- He Hulks out and his pants rip up the sides
- David's eyes go white and the Hulk-out music starts
- McGee looks impassive and tries to convince someone that though he
works for the National Register, he really is a serious reporter
- The Hulk wrecks the place
- The Hulk wrecks the place and saves the girl
- The Hulk saves the girl but doesn't wreck the place
- David is put in jail
- You sit scratching your head wondering why the people around David
don't figure out what's going on when he Hulks out practically right in
front of them
- Someone twists David's arm behind his back (why did they ALWAYS do
that?!)
- Someone ties David up and he Hulks out while trying to get loose
- David is hit over the head and DOESN'T Hulk out.
- A gun-toting person attempts to shoot the Hulk and either:
     a) misses
     b) the gun jams
     c) he runs out of ammunition/transquiliser darts
  or d) someone blocks his aim
- The Hulk runs down *that* alley (try to avoid yelling "Stock footage!
Stock footage!" at the TV if possible)

Take two drinks when:

- Someone actually stops and gives David a lift
- David Hulks out and his pants miraculously don't rip, they just get a
LOT shorter :-)

evasive description of him such as, "Race indeterminate".

features/whines to his editor about something Hulk-related

- David has a flashback to/dreams about/remembers Caroline, Laura or
Elaina Marks
- David gives a vague explanation of what's wrong with him
- David tells his questioner exactly what is wrong with him
- Somebody recognises him. The words, "Doctor David Banner" or such must
be used.
- David un-Hulks at the scene of a crime/the Hulk is seen at the scene of
a crime
- David turns into the Hulk through stress, not because he got hurt
- Someone with an obvious death wish tries to shoot the Hulk/blow him

Take three drinks when:

- David Hulks out and we see his _shoes_ rip open and fall off
- David Hulks out and we do NOT see his shirt physically rip, but
moments later the Hulk stands there in a ripped shirt
- The Hulk does something innocent and childlike (putting baby birds in
their nest, building sandcastles on the beach, etc)
- McGee questions someone and they aren't interested in the green
creature
- A bystander or someone else sees David turn into the Hulk, or
change back
- Someone threatens to blackmail David over his being the Hulk
- David has no shirt on and we can actually see something (question for
the girls!)
- David actually gets the girl (it happens so infrequently, so kisses
count too!)
- David is forced to participate in a crime
- David meets a pregnant woman (he came across a lot of them, didn't
he?)
- David actually admits to someone that he's a doctor. The usual remark,
"I have medical experience" does NOT count!
- David turns into the Hulk more than twice in one episode (two-part
episodes do not count, but feature-length episodes do)
- You find yourself going all misty-eyed when the music starts playing
at the end.
