Dr. David Banner is a brilliant scientist but, one day, a laboratory experiment that he is working on goes terribly awry. Since that time, whenever he is under extreme stress, his body undergoes a transmogrification and he morphs into the Incredible Hulk. The Hulk is about seven feet tall, hugely muscular and powerful, and has bright green skin. After destroying whatever threatens Dr. Banner, he morphs back to normal human form with only amnesia and tattered clothing as evidence of what just transpired. As you can well imagine, this situation is quite troubling for Dr. Banner and causes him a great amount of problems. All the while, he is pursued by Jack McGee, an investigative reporter who believes that the Hulk is a deadly menace whose exposure would enhance his career.

I've been a fan of THE INCREDBLE HULK since 1979 (when I was only seven years old), and it is one of only two TV shows that matter the most to me (the other is UNSOLVED MYSTERIES).
Of all the comic book characters who have made the transition to television, THE HULK is one of the most effective ones. I don't remember what made start watching this excellent sci-fi/ drama, but I surmise that it may be due to the writing because it has many well-written episodes.
"Prometheus" is one of my favorites because of its science fiction approach. That's the two-hour episode where the Hulk is mistaken for an alien. The problem came after he was exposed to a meteor that crashed to the Earth. He is affected by its radiation, which enables him to revert only partially to David Banner. In other words, our hero gets stuck in mid-transformation!
My other favorite episodes include: "The First," "Married," "Mystery Man," "The Snare," "The Psychic," "Equinox," "The Harder They Fall," and "Interview With The Hulk." In addition, The 1977 pre-series pilot (simply titled "The Incredible Hulk") was a perfect way to start off the saga.
Another significant episode is "Proof Positive" because the Hulk's nemesis, newspaper reporter Jack McGee, is the primary focus. Plus, Dr. David Banner (played by the late Bill Bixby) is hardly even in this episode. And the only shots of him are distant to the point where you can't quite make out his face (meaning that a stunt double portrayed him in this episode). But the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) still appears in this story. (I mean, what's a HULK episode without the Hulk in it at all?)
A big gripe that many fans have about the HULK series is that a wrap-up episode was never made (because of the show's sudden cancellation). Still, it is a great show. And what pleases me is that THE INCREDIBLE HULK is now generating new fans, especially those who born after the series ended its primetime run.
