Movie Reviews of The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Second Season

Movie Review: BUY THIS SET WHENEVER YOU LIKE
Summary: 5 Stars

This set has been re-issued. And included one ticket for the upcoming Incredible Hulk Movie. An $8.50 value. The ticket has expired 7-31-2008. And you missed it. I picked this up at Target for $19.99 plus tax. It doesn't matter if there's the yellow sticker that says FREE MOVIE TICKET TO SEE THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Because you missed it. The ticket is by far not the only reason to buy the set. In fact the series is better than the movie. This is one great tv show with outstanding episodes such as "Married" "Ricky" "A Child In Need" and "Mystery Man" Parts 1 and 2. These are just some of my favorites. A total of 22 episodes on five single sided discs. That's single sided. Includes three bonus features. Commentary by Ken Johnson on 'Married" An introduction by Kenneth Johnson which is a seven minute retrospective of the series. And a season 3 episode. "Homecoming". The last bonus is not much of a bonus. Universal did the same thing with Knight Rider Season 3, which included a Season 4 episode. They seem to lack imagination when it comes to special features. With The Incredible Hulk Seasons 3 and 4 only days away, we'll have a lot to Hulk out with.

Movie Review: the Incredible Hulk second season is pretty good!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Incredible Hulk second season is pretty good! I like the second season of the Incredible Hulk TV series. Bill Bixby is great as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno is great as the Incredible Hulk! After seeing some of theese episodes, I started to be upset because Bill Bixby is gone. He died in 1993 from prostate cancer. He was very talented. I don't think anyone could play Dr. David Banner Better than him. RIP Bill Bixby. Also thie Incredible Hulk TV show was done in the late 1970s. Many things in this DVD set reflect the 1970s era. Highly Recommended! A-

Movie Review: Incredible Hulk, Season 2 Review
Summary: 4 Stars

I have a strong affinity for Banner and the Hulk and I am looking forward to season 3. Hope it comes out real soon, like later this spring or early this summer. I have some experience with being on the road, looking for a place to work and a secure place to sleep. It's not easy and it isn't getting easier. Staying out of jail is much more difficult today than it was 30 years ago. Cops everywhere will shake you down and try to plug something on you if you're alone on the road.

Walking alone is becoming more dangerous all the time, at least in the suburbs and the country. I suppose that's one of the reasons why I like series like the Incredible Hulk and the Fugitive (David Jansen); because I experienced some of that kind of freedom for a short time in the 80s and I know that it is fading away. Of course, being a fugitive on the run from nosey reporters and the law can be a problem, but at the same time, being on the open road going across the country without a true, secure destination is also the epitome of American freedom.

Believe it or not, I have some envy for Banner, despite his problem with the Hulk. I envy him because, while he is compelled by his situation to run from the NR reporter Jack McGee, he is also a very capable professional man with some very helpful skills, the kind that not only make friends but also impress the ladies. That's more than I had when i was out there in the 80s. If it wasn't the Hulk getting him out of a dangerous situation, it was his professional skills.

Season two had somewhat of a slow start, imo, after the very romantic episode, Married, in Hawaii with Caroline (Mariette Hartley). The episodes following were okay, but I didn't really care for the main themes all that much. They were basically just situations where Banner took some low-profile jobs and got messed up with the local dunderheads. If I found myself in such situations I'd just get the hell out of town asap, but that's me. Banner, ot-oh, had to play the good samaritin and get in over his head.

A Child in Need and Alice in Disco Land were okay, but obviously more human interest social statements than anything else, with the Hulk simply filling in the action scenes. Obviously, both wife and child-battering husbands and teenage alcoholism were becoming much more open for discussion at that time. Unfortunately, it was about 5 years too late for my family. Of course, the federally-mandated Christian-right solution was to blame it all on marijuana -- go figure!

The season got much more interesting after Stop the Press, an episode in which he ran into trouble while working as a dishwasher in a Chicago restaurant, with a dirty reporter working for the National Register, whose desk was just an elbow away from Jack McGee. Imo, this was one of the best episodes of the season, and the season on the whole improved quite a lot after it. Escape from Los Santos was okay, especially the scene where he broke out of the local jail after the crooked cops nailed him to implicate him for murder. It's always nice to see the Hulk get him out of the really tight situations. I enjoyed A Solitary Place, probably more than most, because I tried to live like that once and it brought back some memories.

Other episodes of this season that I enjoyed were The Haunted, about a schizoid girl that employs Banner to help her make a move back to her late folk's country estate, treading upon deep, dangerous roots from her forgotten past; Mystery Man, a 2-part episode that begins with an accident that causes Banner to lose his memory and with a bandage over his burnt face, unknowingly joins Jack McGee in a cross-country venture to regain it; No Escape, about another schizoid man suffering from hallucinations, who leaks to Banner his desire to kill his wife and his doctor; The Quiet Room, about Banner working as an orderly in a psyhiatric institution when he gets too close to a doctor's secret mind-control experiments; The Confession, about a nerdy computer technician who witnesses Banner's Hulk eruption and takes the story directly to the National Register, while claiming he is the Hulk, looking for attention and seeking fame; and Vendetta Road, about an angry young man and his girlfriend seeking revenge upon a huge oil monopoly that has been buying up all the local gas-stations and forcing others out of business.

Of the 22 episodes, I liked 14. The other 8 were okay, but not the kind I like to revisit in reruns. This package also includes another excellent episode from season 3, Homecoming, where Banner returns to his hometown to visit his sister and father for Thanksgiving (and saves their farm).

Anyways, I'm a big fan of the Incredible Hulk series and I look forward to the other seasons on Dvd asap. Great series!
