Movie Reviews of The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: worth the purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll be honest I only glanced at my season 2 incredible hulk, cause i'm a rationing them out because they do not "print" them fast enough. And i glanced at it to see if its anything like season 1 and the good news to share is it is! The discs are fine season 1, sound etc. And the acting is superb especially from Bill Bixby. One really feels for him, how much he spends looking for a cure. And i didnt remember as a child, but what a nice character he was always trying to help others out and he gets stuck in a worse situation if he didnt mind his own business. But he trys to do the "right" thing. Which is good.
So I enjoyed season 1 so much I'm on the ration program. But glanced at it to make sure the discs are good, sound, and entertainment is there, and you know what amazon shoppers its there!! So enjoy!!

Summary: 4 Stars
Many say the Second Season of the Incredible Hulk is the best overall, I'm not qualified to judge so far but I have to say it's pretty good but it's not much better than the First Season. True, in the first season the show was struggling to find it's groove and an overall tone was absent and it seemed pretty incredible how David was constantly finding himself in life threatening situations. But in their experimentations the creators came up with some very good and thrilling episodes.
The Second Season makes amends for some things that didn't go well the first time around. For example, David doesn't need to be in life threatening situations for the Hulk to surface. In fact, in an episode called The Antowuk Horror David transforms simply because he gets extremely irritated. That set a good tone for how much of a curse his condition really is. And you see this pop up on occasion during the second season. Another thing the show betters here; it finds it's raison d'etre (i.e. socially conscious). You could easily see in the first season that the creators had more brainpower than simply having the Hulk pop up and wreck things. More energy was put into David Banner and his lonely quest for a cure and some shows featured very strong storylines and some were really dramatic.
Many episodes here focus on social matters; Alcoholism, mental illness, societal alienation, corrupt megacompanies, the Harlem ghetto, child abuse and more. Those deep storylines make for very entertaining 45+ minutes and you can't but admire the effort of the writing team and they're ability to conjur up interesting story lines, since the shows always change scenery and subject matter.
The Second does have some definite highlights. Married is one of the best episodes I've seen so far, totally captivating and the tragic storyline moved me very much. Top notch acting from Bixby and Mariette Hartley and the desert Hulk scenes look spectacular. A Child In Need is great as well, has a difficult subject matter but handles it mostly very well. Great Hulk scenes in that episode too. And let's not forget Mystery Man, the two parter where we really get to know Jack McGee and his reasons for pursuing the Hulk as relentlessly as he does. Jack Colvin owns that episode, but then he's always good.
Not every Season 2 episode is a classic but most of them are good and some are outstanding.
Movie Review: Wow! I missed a few good ones as a kid!
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually borrowed this set from the library, but I love it so much, I might just buy the set! The Incredible Hulk was my favorite show as a kid, and I love it just as much watching it 25 years later. As I'm going through this set, I was surprised that I don't remember seeing half of these episodes on TV. I thought I had seen every episode 3-4 times with all of the reruns! However, the network probably reran certain episodes and not others. I'm glad I'm finally seeing all of the episodes so many years later!
Movie Review: Two really good episodes
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a big fan who was "traumatised" as a kid by Banner's Hulk-outs. For this reason, I can watch each show with a certain fascination.
For non-fans, the only two good episodes are Married and Mystery Man. The remaining shows are only average.
It has to be said though that Bill Bixby is a wonderful actor and really carried the show in places.
Do pick this collection up if you're a fan!!
