The Second Season of "The Incredible Hulk" is great, as all the other seasons are too. I think Bill Bixby was born to play the role of David Banner, no one can or could do it like he did. An amazing and talented actor.
What a wonderful tv series, "The Incredible Hulk," is ,great for all ages. I liked watching it as a kid and now in my 30's appreciate the storylines in the series even more. Great action scenes done so well, even better without the computer technology of today. Which gave it enough action, and also the human element as well, which made it seem all the more real. As David Banner or the Hulk, they were both portrayed with great humanity , a sense of justice, tempered by compassion. I think all the stories and episodes in this season are first rate, but I think Married the two hour movie was done very well.
The commentary on the episodes is interesting and fun to listen too. The series deifintly has something for everyone.

Hulk smashes his way into season two. Season two is just as good as season one. this show is incredible. if you have not seen this movie then you should

I love this show. The DVD set is great. The discs are clearly marked and organized and the directors commentary on the season's opening episode, "Married" is very informative and insightful. If you love the show, this is a great set to own.

I'm a BIG BIG fan of this tv show. It's one of my all time favs. As much as i liked season 1, season 2 is where this show really finds it's stride. I never liked the 'glow' that was shown on Banner's face during the transformations in season 1; i'm glad they got rid of that from season 2 and on. There's some stand out and pivotal eps during this season. Staring with the outstanding two-parter 'Married' which has one of the best Hulk-Outs of the series in where Banner Hulk's out while under hypnosis! Also the two-parter 'Mystery Man' has Jack McGee making a startling discovery about the Hulk itself!

An awesome season..get them all!

As a fun who grew up with the TV series, i am glad i can watch them again... I am enjoying it so far...

THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 1978-79 Season is awesome and a definte upgrade to the Hulk's 1st Season, especially since this show was pretty much just starting to crawl during it's First Season even though THE INCREDIBLE HULK was an instant smash when it made it's debut on CBS in the Spring of 1978, but this show was definetley walking by the time it started it's Second Season in the Fall of 1978, which was when I started watching this show religiously every week on CBS along with the fact that THE INCREDIBLE HULK was still in its honeymoon phase of the show on top of that after making its series debut on CBS on Friday March 10th, 1978.

As a matter of fact, this 1979-1979 Season takes me all the way back to memory lane when THE INCREDIBLE HULK was on CBS's Friday night line-up starting with WONDER WOMAN at 8PM followed by THE INCREDIBLE HULK at 9PM topped off by DALLAS at 10PM, which was of course before THE INCREDIBLE HULK was moved to Wednesdays around January of 1979, which was of course before CBS had moved THE INCREDIBLE HULK back to Fridays making it part of CBS's Friday night line-up again in March of 1979.

Therefore, when CBS moved THE INCREDIBLE HULK back to Fridays, CBS's new Friday night line-up was kicked off by THE INCREDIBLE HULK at 8PM followed by THE DUKES OF HAZZARD at 9PM, topped off by DALLAS at 10PM.

-Singer Rick Springfield in "The Disciple" episode before he became famous and before his hit song "JESSIE'S GIRL" was even released

Additionally, this season had a lot of cool and touching episodes like "A Child In Need", "Alice In Disco Land", "Married", and "Mystery Man", because in the "Mystery Man" episode, it's a 2-parter episode when the recluse David Banner(Bill Bixby) loses his memory after a fatal car wreck and then later gets lost in the forest with the persistent newpaper reporter Jack McGee(Jack Colvin)after David & McGee survive a plane crash in the woods while they try to rejog David's memory as they struggle to stay alive and be rescued while showing us scenes from previous episodes from The Incredible Hulk's first 2 seasons describing McGee's obsession with the Hulk & how it got started while David tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together while having flashbacks of his involvement of his ghaslty ordeal with the Hulk by using clips from The Incredible Hulk's 1st and 2nd Seasons, including scenes from the pilot episode.

In the "Married" episode, while searching for a cure to his horrendous infliction with the Hulk in Hawaii; David ends up meeting and marrying a terminally ill scientist(Mariette Hartley) who is dying who was potentially his only hope to cure his relentless affliction with the Hulk, which has a tragic conclusion when Dr. Caroline Fields(Mariette Hartley) dies in David/The Hulk's arms at the end of this episode leaving David as a widower again.

In the "Alice In Disco Land" episode, while working at a bar, David helps a down on her luck teenager battle her drinking problem by helping her turn her life around at the conclusion when she wins the disco dance contest at a bar that was illegally serving liquor to minors, which ends up going out of business at the end of this episode.

In the "A Child In Need" episode, while working as David Baxter as a gardener at an elementary school; David helps out a physically abused child(Dennis Dimster) by later helping the boys abusive father(Sandy McPeak) come to the realization at the end of this episode that he is a child beater who was also abused as a kid & needed professional help and ends up going to rehab at the end.

This season also takes me back to memory lane when CBS's motto was "Turn Us On", since that was the motto on CBS from the Fall of 1978 thru the Summer of 1979.

It's just too bad that Universal didn't add a more sophisticated bonus episode from The Incredible Hulk's 3rd Season, like the "Proof Positive" episode for instance or even the "Metamorphosis" episode instead of using the "Homecoming" episode for the bonus episode on this DVD.

So I highly recommend THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 1978-79 Season to anybody who watched this show religiously every Friday night on CBS like I did.

I was born in 1971, and I watched many episodes of The Incredible Hulk during their original broadcast. The series still holds up well today. I recently bought season 2 as my first purchase in this series, because I think it has the best episodes of any season overall.

That being said, I was disappointed that all the hubs that are supposed to secure the discs in the dual thinpack cases were broken - in two different sets of this product. It's not supposed to be this way. I wish they had better quality control in their design and manufacturing of their cases.

The Incredible Hulk was one of my faves as a child, and even though season 2 isn't my favorite (My favorite is season 4). This season is still awesome and watching these episodes makes me feel 5 or 6 again. Bill Bixby (God rest his soul) was born to play Dr. David Banner (his helpful and caring persona)and Lou Ferrigno (even though he had some major temper tantrums, he had such a sweet, compassionate side, with almost like a childlike innocence) is the only Hulk there will ever be. A lot of these episodes are fabulous, but some of my faves would be A Child in Need (probably my fave, fave), The Haunted, Mystery Man and Stop The Presses.

These movies are great! I love the Incrediable Hulk. They remind me of my childhood. They are all so clear and wonderful.I do recommend these.

The Incredible Hulk TV show was a pretty loose adaption to the classic Marvel comic hero, but the show did have heart. Bill Bixby has always been likable enough, but the FX and silly contrived situations to make Banner turn into the Hulk are laugh out loud funny!.....I mean how many times can this gifted Doctor bang his thumb with a hammer or fall clumsily, so that he can get mad and HULK OUT!?

Hey, if your a fan of the series you really don't care about the goofy-ness of this show. I deduct one star because some of the chapter breaks are sloppy, making it hard to skip the intro without missing some of the show and there should be more extras. This season the Hulk fights a fake Bigfoot, martial arts experts, tackles the Chicago Bears..eh Cougars? and ends up in a demolition derby! The DVD has a very good transfer and some interesting extras.
