3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Episodes on A Rushed DVD Release, August 21, 2003

By	S. R. "supes" (USA) - See all my reviews

This is a 6 disc set containing 18 episodes from the classic 1970s TV series starring Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby. The episodes are as listed:

DISC 1:
RAINBOW'S END- David Banner hopes that a Native American's special horse tranquilizer will cure his transformations.
ANOTHER PATH- David tries to use an old Chinese man's methods of mind-control in hopes of ridding himself of the Hulk.
THE DISCIPLE- David returns to the old Chinese man only to discover that he is dying.

DISC 2:
THE FIRST Parts 1 & 2- David discovers the existence of a Hulk from decades earlier that has now been cured.
KINDRED SPIRITS- David investigates evidence of a prehistoric Hulk-like creature.

DISC 3:
STOP THE PRESSES- David tries to stop a tabloid reporter from publishing a photo of him.
MYSTERY MAN Parts 1 & 2- David, facially bandaged and suffering from amnesia, is aided by Jack McGee in an effort to find his true identity.

DISC 4:
DARK SIDE- David's latest cure causes the evil side of his personality to surface.
DEEP SHOCK- An electrical accident leaves David with psychic abilities.
THE HARDER THEY FALL- David is forced to cope with paralysis after a car accident.

DISC 5:
747- David is forced to land an airline after the pilots are drugged.
DEATH IN THE FAMILY Parts 1 & 2- David befriends a heiress who is being slowly poisoned by her keepers.

DISC 6:
THE PSYCHIC- A psychic discovers David's secret and informs him of McGee's impending death.
PROMETHEUS Parts 1 & 2- The army captures the Hulk after David is stuck in mid-transformation due to radiation from a meteor.

There are some great episodes in this bunch, including 'The First', as well as the most expensive Hulk episode ever made, 'Prometheus'. The picture quality is about the same as the SciFi Channel reruns. No effort was made to clean up the original film prints as specks of dust and debris are visible on all episodes. The sound is Dolby Digital 2.0, which is what one would expect from such an old series. Unfortunately, there are no bonus features or even an interview with Lou Ferrigno. Worse still, one can't even tell what episodes are on each disc because none are numerically labeled, thus the episode order discrepancies on various sites. This was indeed a rushed DVD set from Universal meant to cash in on the publicity surrounding the 2003 Ang Lee Hulk movie. This release is definitely better suited to the budget-conscious casual fan wanting to relive some fond memories. For hardcore fans, The Incredible Hulk Complete Series set is better worth the investment since there were so many more great episodes from this classic TV series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great episodes, no extras and where are the titles?, October 27, 2003

By	S. DE SEVE (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed this series and I'm glad Universal is bringing some of the episodes into DVD. It comes in a nice presentation box, although a booklet would have been a welcomed addition, especially since the episodes are presented out of sequence, are not written on the DVD themselves and don't even match the sequence on the cover box. There are also no extras on any of the DVDs. The programs are presented in English-mono, with possibility of English-captions and subtitles in Spanish or French.

The saving grace is the episodes themselves and they are well selected. To assist buyers who'd like to watch these episodes in the order of airing dates, here is a list:

Episode 2:"A Death In The Family" (95 minutes, November 28, 1977 - Disc 5)
Episode 7: "747" (April 7, 1978 - Disc 5)
Episode 16:"Rainbow's End" (October 13, 1978 - Disc 1)
Episode 18: "Another Path" (October 27, 1978 - Disc 1)
Episode 21: "Stop The Presses!" (November 24, 1978 - Disc 3)
Episodes 27 & 28: "Mystery Man" (2 parts) (March 2, 1979, March 9, 1979 - Disc 3)
Episode 29:"The Disciple" (March 16, 1979 - Disc 1)
Episode 31: "Kindred Spirits" (April 6, 1979 - Disc 2)
Episode 52:"The Psychic" (February 22, 1980 - Disc 6)
Episodes 58 & 59: "Prometheus" (2 parts) (November 7 & 14, 1980 - Disc 6)
Episode 61: "Dark Side" (December 5, 1980 - Disc 4)
Episode 62: "Deep Shock" (December 12, 1980 - Disc 4)
Episodes 69 and 70: "The First" (2 parts) (March 6 and 13, 1981 - Disc 2)
Episode 71:"The Harder They Fall" (March 27, 1981 - Disc 4)

Note that episode 1 and 13 are available on "The Incredible Hulk: The Original Television Series Premiere" DVD (ASIN: B00008WFTU),
Episode 1: "The Incredible Hulk" (95 minutes, November 7, 1977)
Episode 13: "Married" (95 minutes, September 22, 1978)

Like others, I hope Universal will release a second boxset with additional great Hulk episodes. Meanwhile, this one is a great entry in the series, with complete and commercial free episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars I WOULD LIKE SEE ALL SEASONS OF THE HULK RELEASED, November 8, 2003

By	Metch - See all my reviews

I gave 5 Stars for the show not for the DVD collection, but for me and millions like me around the world I would like to see ALL SEASONS BEING RELEASED not only a collection of episodes. I think the ULTIMATE COLLECTION is to have ALL SEASONS RELEASED on DVD SETS. To me all episodes is worth releasing. I was disappionted with this set not because I did not like the episodes, but for not releasing Season by Season Sets.
PLEASE RELEASE ALL SEASONS OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
