neutral · AI labelView post →This is so true. When you build a solo series, you have to build something. Imagine a TV sitcom or drama series with only one ongoing character. Even those wandering-star series like THE INCREDIBLE HULK or THE FUGITIVE needed the pursuer characters, reporters or cops.

The Lonely Man theme from the Incredible Hulk TV show will play when he walks off the court after each game.

neutral · AI labelView post →Andre the Giant with Lee Majors, on the set of "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1976). I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") on a special event show that was running those days, called *Battle of the Network Stars*. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

I can definitely say the twin Tucker tubes do not appear on the show (they do in the 1988 Return of the Incredible Hulk" TV film, though). So far, the earliest appearance is on Buck Rogers (March 1981).

It’s The Incredible Hulk (1978) — drifter shows up and solves problems with magic powers in the last ten minutes of the show then has to leave.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Incredible Hulk TV show. I believed the Hulk lived in our basement, had nightmares about him. I may have been two or three years old. (Fairly complex allegories about the id, the unconscious, and alcoholism for a small child)
neutral · AI labelView post →The father of one of my closest friends just died, Hollywood legend Frank Price. The man who had more TV hours on at one time in history. Produced numerous iconic shows, The Incredible Hulk, Rockford Files, Columbo, Quincy, Six Million Dollar Man etc. The Emmys failed to note him—but poor Kirk.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Incredible Hulk on CBS (1977) Pulling from The Fugitive / Les Miserables and the Marvel character, we got a show about a tortured man who nonetheless helps those around him. Bill was perfectly cast. This was Lou's first role. Once a bullied mostly deaf kid, he turned to body building.
positive · AI labelView post →Pssst…Marvel…. Make The Incredible Hulk TV show again starring Mark Ruffalo. Throw in some narrative homages to the Bixby/Ferrigno series. Weekly episodic insanity. Banner on the run trying to find a normal life. Lead up to World War Hulk and Planet Hulk movies. Come ON!
