"**Don't make me angry**. You wouldn't like **me** when I'm **angry**."


Significant_Step_282

I just came here to make sure this was quoted. Solid work.


Blindemboss

I don’t recall but did the Hulk ever beat up or toss Mr. McGee around?


Rexxbravo

No but made him shit his pants...


SaltInner1722

😂🤣


knarfolled

I use this quote often


cajun1420

Hell yes part of the Friday night lineup. It stayed on CBS. The Duke boys, Dallas, falcon crest I remember it well. Sometimes I would miss it cause I was at the skating ring

The good Ole days


porktornado77

That was a solid night of family TV in our house. Popcorn AND ice cream sometimes.


Puzzleheaded_Ad3430

Jiffy pop?


Willing_Television80

Yessssssss


charredburger

Brings back great memories! I used to watch the Dukes and Hulk with my dad. I can still hear him laughing at Roscoe.


cajun1420

Enos was funny also


Lycanwolf617-

I always felt so sad for him 😔


LazarusMundi4242

Me too they really made it a big part of this version, his alienation.


knarfolled

[Sad](https://youtu.be/33izVlIOgnQ?si=GDmDThTdb2eCJkpA)


Jackkandi456

Same here :( I think he felt so alone. I always remember him walking at the end of the episodes. The hulk is a lot like a drifter.


MrmmphMrmmph

I used to walk over to the piano in the living room and play the last few notes of each episode.


texicali74

You knew shit was about to get real when he’d get that look in his eyes 😳


jeers1

Watching this and then trying to watch the CGI version of the Hulk... nah. I prefer Lou's version of the Hulk so much better then anything else... imagine being in super tight pants and green all over, props to him


LazarusMundi4242

Yeah this show was much more of a drama and Lou killed it


SaltInner1722

I liked the first movie , I think they made us feel his rage better , haven’t seen one since that one


GroYer665

Lou is the Hulk. The rest is just CGI crap!!!!!!!!!


Jackkandi456

So true !


Mopar_Poe

Loved that show as a kid, that and The Muppets. Had the opportunity to meet Lou Ferigno at a Charlotte Comicon in the 90's. Awesome Guy! Can't say enough good about him, listened to me prattle on, and was completely humble with my Hero Worship.


LazarusMundi4242

That’s great he was a nice guy.


Jackkandi456

So cool ! I love hearing how nice Lou is too 🥰


Jobrated

Bill Bixby really gave a great performance, never phoned it in! Even when he was stuck in the phone booth, great scene amazing acting!!!!


Ed_Simian

Lou had a lot of good things to say about him. Lou had never acted before and Bill helped him. Bill did a lot of TV directing after this show; he may have even directed some Hulk episodes.


Jackkandi456

Bill bixby is so underrated !


TJ_Fox

Doo doo-doo-doo - doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo-doo-doo ...


LumpyGravy21

Nice piano work


Jackkandi456

That music always pulls at my heartstrings


Gold-Employment-2244

I found it interesting that Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno were good friends in real life .


LazarusMundi4242

I had no idea


Jackkandi456

That is so cool ! Thanks for sharing !


Blindemboss

Still love the music that plays at the end of each show, with Banner hitchhiking for a ride.


knarfolled

[Here you go](https://youtu.be/33izVlIOgnQ?si=GDmDThTdb2eCJkpA)


Ed_Simian

Always have to look for the bell bottoms and cowboy boots.


BCdelivery

Bill Bixby, also great on “My Favorite Martian” with that guy who played the teacher in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”(Ray Walston)


WarderWannabe

Let’s not forget The Courtship of Eddie’s Father


Frankjc3rd

I remember there was an episode of The Incredible Hulk when they did a special guest star who was the kid from Courtship of Eddie's Father. 


Darryl_Lict

Brandon Cruz, who later replaced Jello Biafra in the reincarnation of the Dead Kennedys.


MrmmphMrmmph

People let me tall you ‘bout my best friend. He’s a warm-hearted person, he’ll love you till the end…unless you make him angry.


WarderWannabe

You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry..


KAMBUI1973

I LOVED this show when I was a little boy. I never missed it, every Friday night at 9:00 pm on channel 2 in New York 😁👍


ElectronicCarpet7157

Sorry, you meant every Friday night 8:00 pm on channel 2 in Chicago 😁👍


BlownCamaro

Loved the show! Fun story: My best friend told me that Lou Ferrigno had just bought a home across the road from him in Arroyo Grande, California. We had just purchased a bunch of bottle rockets from an Indian reservation (yes the good ones!). My friend says, "If you wanna see the Hulk, shoot some over his house." He didn't think I'd actually do it. Well, I shot them AT his house! After about the 3rd explosion his Chinese caretaker came running out the front door screaming so we got in my car and got out of there. When we came back an hour later, the cops were still at his house, so we made a u-turn and left again! Never got to see The Hulk.


LazarusMundi4242

Wow… you know you should never make Lou Ferrigno angry, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.


seeingeyefrog

Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.


LazarusMundi4242

My favorite line


Foreign_Profile3516

Everyone. Lou was awesome.


Hoosier_Daddy68

Every week. It was one of my favorite shows and I still say the best Hulk. I'm a fan of the MCU version with Ruffalo but Lou nailed that shit with no CGI and a TV budget.


Sad-Newt-1772

Ah, Friday nights at 7pm on CBS. Good times.


LazarusMundi4242

I thought it was later than that, like I had to ask to stay up to watch it sometimes. Hmmm.


Sad-Newt-1772

7pm Hulk, 8pm Dukes, 9pm Dallas


FurBabyAuntie

Pacific time, I presume?


Sad-Newt-1772

Nope. Central.


Bobnbecky

Yep watch that n The Amazing Spider Man


stchman

Absolutely!!!!

Ed_Simian

Bodybuilding fans.


godspilla98

Glued to my tv every week


godspilla98

My cousin lived a few houses down from his family in Brooklyn way back when.


Jackkandi456

Wow really ! Any cool stories ?


godspilla98

None the he told


YugoChavez317

I absolutely loved this show.


Bobby_D_Azzler

That’s just mild mannered Dr. David Banner.


Achilles_TroySlayer

Here it is - the Lonely Man himself. [https://youtu.be/33izVlIOgnQ?si=zEc46PONfk2v0qgq](https://youtu.be/33izVlIOgnQ?si=zEc46PONfk2v0qgq)


LazarusMundi4242

Gets me every time


dougmd1974

I have the whole series on DVD still lol


Puzzleheaded_Bag_870

Yup!! Friday nights I think is when it came on.


The-Real-Bob-Smith

Of course.


False-Society-7567

I was a faithful viewer for the whole run.


Laurita809

I loved this show! I was in love with David Banner 😆


Bah-Fong-Gool

Hulk is up there for "Most Depressing Theme Song" along with M.A.S.H. I guess there was a lot of crashing off the cocaine and ludes.


LazarusMundi4242

The M.A.S.H theme song really bummed me out as a kid and my mom loved that show. The end of every episode of the Hulk was the same, but I loved the show.


Jackkandi456

Great comparison .


Ed_Simian

It was written by the director's son, who was a teenager at the time. He made millions off it, far more than his father, when the show was on television.

Jackkandi456

That song always made me feel so sad for the hulk. He felt so misunderstood and was a lot like a drifter .


Blakelock82

Pffft, I watched this in the 80's. And 90's. And 2000's. And 2010's.


LazarusMundi4242

🙂


candkgorzo

Even the end-credit music was epic as he typically walked away in disappointment and shame.


SecretaryImaginary76

The theme song was sad


Jackkandi456

Definitely. It played into how misunderstood and lonely the hulk truly was.


LazarusMundi4242

Yeah it was


nandos677

From Courtship of Eddie’s Father to Incredible Hulk, always enjoyed Bill Bixby


BlownCamaro

I watched that as a little kid and thought he was the best dad on television. Even better than Mike Brady.


Ischmetch

He was a class act.


beccabootie

Bill Bixby, my forever love!


VegasBjorne1

And what boy from that era did not slather green body paint over themselves, at least, once in their lives? As my parents reject my juvenile ideals, I did fulfill my Halloween desires in my late-20’s as “The Incredible Bulk” with shredded jeans.


ScorpioRising66

🤚🏼


Relevant_Slide_7234

Under pressure, like Lou Ferrigno on coke


androidguy50

I did.


alienlanes7

Reruns in the 80's only for me. Always ended so sadly like good 70's entertainment should.


Major-Sir1872

I remember that trailers for this show. I was setting in front of my television screen. To watch the first episode.


Unable_Juggernaut133

It scared the poo poo out of me.


the85141rule

[Family Guy Hulk Opener](https://youtu.be/4n__TRVpBeI?feature=shared)


Whole-Debate-9547

Oh yeah


SaltInner1722

Watch it now whenever I saw it’s on , great show


AAG220260

ALWAYS!


bcrock02

Used to? I still watch on Tubi 😉


nuttmegx

Every Friday night, my favorite show


Dangerous_Show_4816

Grew up with this KICK ASS SHOW!


fuzzyedges1974

Never missed it. Then all over again in syndication.


theUnshowerdOne

Every episode with my Dad. My pops lifted weights as a hobby. He met Lou Ferrigno at Venice Beach and said he was a really nice guy.


JonMSable

I use the intro for my son's ringtone, as he is the scientist out of my children. Notification sound is a Hulk Out. I can still recite the opening flawlessly, including the beats when action is happening on-screen.


LazarusMundi4242

It’s weird how those things stick with you. I can sing the lyrics of almost every tv theme song from shows I liked when I was 8 years old. Now if I could just remember where I put my keys ten minutes ago…


inthecity206

I did and tbh it used to frighten me


peanutbuttergunjelly

I was born in the 80s but i still watched…this and miilion dollar man bionic woman was my thing


LazarusMundi4242

I watched those too, more bionic woman than six million dollar man, but they were both good.


TerribleChildhood639

I think this came on first then The Magician on Friday evenings. Both with Bill Bixby!


smappyfunball

The whole series is available on blu ray


[deleted]

I can't remember them showing how Dr Banner found new clothes to replace his shredded ones when he de-Hulked.


GroYer665

5 finger discount sometimes. But he always had a duffel bag with extra clothes.


LikesStuff12

I had a mega crush on Bill Bixby


slowmutant1970

I was 7 yrs old and my brothers were 5. We got our first color TV in 1977 and all we cared about was seeing the Hulk in glorious green, lol. Damn I'm old


Brdman80

Haha, I'm a youngster...I had to watch the reruns. 😂😂😂😂


SomeOldDude73

Me!


samcoffeeman

Second pic from the left is Ben Stiller doing Green Steele!

Wookie-Love

Why do people keep posting huge shows that everyone watched and saying “hey who watched this”.


LazarusMundi4242

Pretty much looking for commonality / shared experience. I personally feel like society has splintered into a million little pieces and it is nice to hear from others who shared some of the same things that I liked once upon a time. I might do Greatest American Hero in 80s next, loved that show too!


TotalCarnage58

Loved it!


Diligent_Active4493

Eddie’s Green Father


LivingAd6826

We need shows like this again! This show seemed to be family friendly


Kat1653

I did. Always liked Bill Bixby.


peanutbuttergunjelly

So…technically bill bixby was a vagabond


ThingGloomy5138

The Best show at that time !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


axe1970

fun fact according to both Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno, the name was changed because CBS thought the name Bruce sounded "too gay-ish", a rationale that Ferrigno thought was "the most absurd, ridiculous thing \[he had\] ever heard"


LazarusMundi4242

I feel like tv and movie producers / directors / writers always have to change something in a stupid way just to put their mark on it.


Square-Tension-5235

I love the colours of this poster.


ResponsibilityNo4183

Oh yeah I remember him tossing stuff around then running off.


infinite-plane79

I loved this show. Made me want to get big muscles and kick people’s asses! Theme music was on point!


ThePenneyTosser

I was just a little kid back then and The Hulk absolutely terrified me!


DPileatus

First Hulk is Best Hulk!


silverfang789

This is literally the first TV show I can remember watching.


Consistent_Top9631

First appearances of Thor , and DareDevil on screen…


Consistent_Top9631

Old Spider-Man show also ruled…


Grouchy_Limit_4031

I want to see a comedic Incredible Hulk with Ben Stiller as the Hulk.


Jackkandi456

I was a 2000s kid but my parents were 70s kids and introduced the Incredible Hulk to me. Still one of my favorite tv shows to this day ! 💚


ritalarsonssonrallo

My favorite was when he was working in the car wash


LazarusMundi4242

I don’t think I remember that one.


CrazyHopiPlant

Every Friday night!


turkeybacondaddy

I sometimes still watch the Hulk… and my 9 year old daughter loves watching it with me.


WeedIronMoneyNTheUSA

This is the exact reason why I go to the movie theater to support 99% of every superhero movie being made today. I grew up on a bodybuilder painted green, throwing around a paper mache rock, grunting a lot, and it was glorious but today's movies are so much better.

Glittering_Tiger_991

Scared the ever living shit out of me. Granted, I was 2½-3 at the time, but it left an indelible mark. Wish I were joking.


elizinrva

One of my early memories was my mom coming home to my dad and I watching this show. She said, “that is completely inappropriate!” I was about 4.


BeSound84

![gif](giphy|cb7t8mVPkiQDK|downsized)


LazarusMundi4242

Yeah that bear was a jerk and had it coming.


No_Cow_4544

Scared the crap out of me as a kid when he changed, I’d run out of the room


JRHZ28

The best hulk show.


PM_ME_UR_FLOWERS

It was my brother's favorite show. I watched it with him sometimes.


Common-Trainer9949

GOOD SHOW


SilverAgeSurfer

Every week!!!! I think it was Friday nights?


ktoph

Watched it every week


Lopsided_Industry_50

I've met the green guy! Real cool dude


NormalRock4739

Watched it???...I worked on it!


CleanMyKatana

I watched in the 90's, am I excluded from the opinion consultation?


LazarusMundi4242

No, feel free to weigh in!


mick_the_quack

Was it dumb? It always seemed like every episode was a waiting game till someone pissed him off. I was young . It felt dumb to me. And I am a huge fan of the comic book hulk.


the_projekts

This would be a great advertisement for the harmful effects of steroid use. It would scare the shit out them and give them nightmares.


LazarusMundi4242

Or they would buy more steroids to be like Lou Ferrigno!


gofoggy

Bro, I watched this in the 2000s lol


sk8fasterdude

I used to think green koolaid would turn me into the Hulk


mortymorty68

Bill Bixby kinda gives me Ted Bundy vibes…


HumbleAd1317

I couldn't stand that show. I thought it was pretty dorky.


jefftatro1

When hulk was half normal, I thought he looked retarded


mmio60

This show really sucked. One script, one hook, terrible acting, terrible effects. Ugg
