The Incredible Hulk(Bill Bixby- Lou Ferrigno)

Even though I was born a couple of years after the series finished I catch the reruns and used to absolutely love it and my dad used to tape them for me. For those who don't know it follows the adventures of Dr David Banner who experimenting on himself accidently exposes himself to a great deal of gamma radiation and hence the big green beast is born. Now whenever David is outraged or hurt he transforms into the green beast known as The Hulk. The Hulk is pursued by a reporter called Jack Mcgee who is under the wrong assumption that The Hulk is responsible for the death of David Banner when in fact David Banner is The Hulk. In my opinion it is Mr Mcgee's pursuit of The Hulk that really kept this show going and not run out of steam. At the end of each episode we would see David getting on a bus or hitching a ride and next week we would see him involved in another adventure. What I love so much about the show is how people injure or torture David run for their lives when he turns into the Hulk.
I have only recently purchased season 1 and 2 and currently going through them. What I have noticed that season 2 is definately a lot stronger than season 1. In season 1 The Hulk was trying finding it's feet whilst in season 2 a formula had been established. In season 2 David got to help troubled individuals. In The Killer instinct David helped a football player with anger problems, in Alice In Discoland he helped out a young girl with a drinking problem, in Ricky he helped out a dislexic kid etc. On top of the great storyline I think the theme tune deserves a very special mention. The haunting theme tune is the best theme tune I have heard to any show ever. It is a real shame that none of the big screen adaptations were able to do full justice to the legendary 70's TV show. TIH whilst an improvement on the Ang Lee still was nothing more than an entertaining summer blockbuster. It's a real shame that no TV channel has picked up the show and shown reruns of it because I for one would definately have watched it(although the Sci-fi channel did show it in the late 90's). TIH reminds me of a very pleasant childhood.
