The only problem with this show is that before the perfection of modern CGI, it was simply impossible to create a Hulk creature that looked like the Hulk in the comic books - who is 7 or 8 feet tall and weighs over 1,000 pounds of muscle.
The best they could do was to hire a bodybuilder, paint him green, and put him in a fright wig. (Come to think of it, they could have done a better job with that wig.) it was better than nothing, but it didn't really capture the essence of the Hulk, who is an inhuman personification of anger and rage. It wasn't until the 21st century that modern computer graphics and Marvel Studios finally enabled Hollywood to give us a Hulk who actually resembled the comic book character.
On the other hand, Bill Bixby did a great job as Bruce Banner, the human side of the Hulk, the Dr. Jekyll to the Hulk's Mr. Hyde, And working within the limitations of its era, it was an entertaining show, one that helped pave the way to today's Marvel Cinematic Universe.
