What's YOUR favorite Hulk Episode?

[Neon Noodle]

Upon seeing the boxed set available now of "choice" episodes from the series, I realized one of my faves wasn't on there:

The Snare.

For those of you who aren't Hulksters, this episode was a tribute to "The Most Dangerous Game". Banner was taken to a remote island where the reclusive owner hunted him down in a brilliant game of cat & mouse. The final scene with the tape recorder? I haven't seen anything that surprising on a TV show in a long time.

How about you folks? Which episode make you say "HULK SMASH!!!"

(BTW, if you're looking for my most hated episode, 747 was pretty bad - the idea of the Hulk flying a plane was just so silly.....)

The one where the girl is in danger and he changes into the hulk, throws objects at the bad guy and then runs off just as the police come with that sad look on his face. Then david walks alongside the road at the end hitchhiking.

Ring a bell? hehe

Sorry, don't mean to be smart. I grew up on Hulk and used to love the show. I think it reruns on sci-fi but I never catch it. I remember that sad little piano ditty used to give me the creeps..too much of a downer I guess. Does anyone remember how the final episode went?

I loved "The Snare."  One of my favorites.  I also loved the one with the other Hulk.

Man, that was a good show.

In comparison to the other Superhero shows of the time, of course.

Yeah, I watched the bionic shows but I wasn't a huge fan. I liked wonder woman tho...few female superheroes and all.


lest we not forget The Greatest American Hero

o/~ who could it be...believe it or not it's just meee

I love all those superheroes shows growing up the saturday morning ones and at night ones. The Hulk was great me and my mom and my sister use to watch it all the time when it came on CBS. The Piano music at the begining was exciting but the ending was really sad not creepy to me but very sad.

The pilot episode is my favorite.

If you think about it, THE HULK was a rip-off of KUNG FU: a mysterious stranger travels to a new town every week, beats up the bad guys, and walks away into the sunset at the end.

Actually, it was a rip-off of "The Fugitive", down to the adversary relationship between the lead (Kimble on "Fugitive", Banner on "Hulk") and a secondary character (Gerard  on "Fugitive", McGee on "Hulk").  However, you do have a point; both are very simular in concept.  It's interesting how many ways you can twist a given scenario.

The last episode was nothing special, just another 'Banner saves the day' episode. After the show went off the air, there were three TV movies, the last of which was The Death of the Incredible Hulk. In the end, the hulk appears to die when he falls from a helicopter (or plane) onto concrete. Supposedly, there was another movie planned which would bring him back, but Bill Bixby's death prevented that from being made. There's a full guide for it here;

The Incredible Hulk

My own favorite Hulk episode was Mystery Man, in which Banner gets amnesia, ends up with his face swaddled in bandages and drives around with Jack McGee, until a wreck in McGee's car brings back his memory and he scoots off after saving McGee's life--without being "unmasked", of course.
Least favorite was the trucker episode-too much Duel used as stock footage.  I understand Steven Spielberg wasn't too happy about it, either.

[Cullen]

Personally, I don't like to think about the Hulk TV movies.  Far as I'm concerned, David Banner still lives, and still is in search of a cure.

Either that, or he's cured and living happily somewhere.

Me too those TV movies weren't that good they mess up Thor, and Daredevil. The last one I really hate. One of my favorite episode is the one were this old man tranformed into another Hulk and fought the real Hulk.
