List of The Incredible Hulk (1978 TV series) episodes
The following is a list of The Incredible Hulk episodes. The series began with two, two-hour made-for-TV movies on November 4 and 27, 1977. Regular one-hour episodes began on March 10, 1978 and ended on May 12, 1982. It was created by Kenneth Johnson, aired on CBS, and ran for 80 episodes.
The Incredible Hulk follows the story of David Banner (played by Bill Bixby), a physician/scientist who, traumatized by the loss of his wife, douses himself with dangerously high levels of gamma radiation. He metamorphosizes into a giant, green hulk (Lou Ferrigno) whenever he becomes angry. The series chronicles Banner's attempts to find a cure for himself, as he is pursued across the United States by investigative newspaper reporter Jack McGee (Jack Colvin). The series was loosely based on the Marvel comic book of the same name.
After the cancellation of the series, three television movies aired on NBC (1988, 1989 and 1990). On July 28, 2006, season one was officially released on DVD. Season two was released in the United States on July 17, 2007. Seasons three and four were released in June 2008 to coincide with the release of the 2008 Marvel Studios film The Incredible Hulk.
An accidental overdose of gamma radiation creates a mutation in David Banner (Bill Bixby)'s DNA: whenever he becomes angry, he metamorphoses into an over seven-foot-tall, 330-pound, mindless muscular green creature (Lou Ferrigno). Tabloid newspaper reporter, Jack McGee (Jack Colvin) begins investigating claims of a giant creature: his investigation leads to the laboratory that Banner was using. An explosion in the lab kills Banner's associate and friend Dr. Elaina Marks (Susan Sullivan): McGee, who dubs the creature "the Hulk", believes it killed David too. Unable to explain the truth, nor control his transformations, David leaves to try to find a cure for himself.
Note: Originally a two-hour movie (aired on a Friday), is shown in two parts in syndication.
