DVD Reviews of The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Just Another Gag!
Summary: 4 Stars
This INCREDIBLE HULK-Complete Series sounds neat, since it contains every single episode from all 5 seasons throughout THE INCREDIBLE HULK's whole 1978-82 run on CBS, but since times are obviously tight right now and since Universal already has all 5 seasons released on DVD and already had the Hulk's 5th and final season released on DVD last Fall on the same day as this was released on DVD, I don't see why Universal felt it was necessary to make a complete series DVD of this Science-Fiction drama, especially during these hard economic times while most people are struggling through the recession going on right now.
Therefore, the only reason I can think of on why Universal decided to make this INCREDIBLE HULK-The Complete Series DVD was probably due to a major reason called MONEY! since businesses everywhere all over the country are seeing a decline in sales right now in todays weak economy.
Therefore, it's hard to purchase a complete series DVD that costs over a hundred simolians while everybody is feeling the hasty thrifty crunch right now while people all over the world are getting laid off left and right with all these hefty budget cuts that are wreaking havoc on the whole world right now.
Therefore, most people are less likely to purchase a complete series DVD of this science-fiction show or any other show for that matter when people are and were able to buy each season on DVD one by one, which was way cheaper since each season was only under a hundred bucks apiece.
The truth is, I'm considering on getting this complete series DVD of THE INCREDIBLE HULK, since I was a big fan of this show and used to watch it religiously every week on CBS during it's whole 4-year run, but it probably wont be for a while and hopefully this DVD will contain some genuine bonus features that we couldn't watch on any of the other INCREDIBLE HULK DVD's that were released season by season although I have a feeling this DVD is probably nothing more than a waste of money if you already have the whole DVD collection of THE INCREDIBLE HULK from Season 1 all the way through Season 5, but I don't understand why Universal felt it was necessary to make this complete series DVD box set since none of the individual season DVD box sets had any flaws or double sided discs that froze or skipped either since all 5 seasons of THE INCREDIBLE HULK came with single sided disc only as opposed to the double sided discs that froze and skipped on KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 2, MIAMI VICE-SEASON 1, KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 4, MIAMI VICE-SEASON 2, THE A-TEAM-SEASON 2, and THE A-TEAM-SEASON 4, which is probably why Universal doesn't make DVD box sets with 2-sided disks anymore and why they haven't done so in 3 years, but I don't think this THE INCREDIBLE HULK-The Complet Series DVD is to make up or compensate for any flaws made on the indididual season box sets that were released season by season one at a time between the Summer of 2006 and the Fall of 2008.
It's just too bad that this science-fiction drama couldn't last longer and that THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 5th and last season had to be cut short, despite its high ratings, but unfortunately CBS cancelled this show due to budget cuts and a change in management at CBS along with the fact that the special effects on the show got too expensive especially for the Hulk-out scenes, due to the recession we had back in 1981-1982 during Ronald Reagan's presidency.
Therefore CBS had uncerimoniously announced in July of 1981 when its 5th Season was underway that they were cancelling THE INCREDIBLE HULK in the Fall of 1981 even though the ratings were still going strong, so creator(Ken Johnson)had to compromise with CBS by making the Hulk's Fifth Season only half a season with only 7 episodes, which was why CBS had cancelled THE INCREDIBLE HULK all of the sudden on such short notice in November of 1981 along with the fact that the president at CBS at the time(Harve Shepherd) felt that the Hulk was getting tired and that this science-fiction drama was running out of steam along with the fact that rumor has it that both Bill Bixby(David Banner) and Lou Ferrigno(The Hulk)found it difficult to work with Ken Johnson and that Johnson could never come up with a suitable budget with CBS to keep running this show either, which left Hulk fans being and feeling cheated since nobdy knew that THE INCREDIBLE HULK was going to be axed when it was, but CBS had brought the show back on the air temporarily in the Spring of 1982 for about 2 weeks to finish off the remaining 2 episodes of THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 5th and last season, which were the "Slaves" episode and the "A Minor Problem" episode, yet CBS still didn't have a series finally episode proving to us once again that the recluse David(Bill Bixby)still hadn't found a cure for his struggling ordeal with the Hulk and that the Hulk was still being tracked by the persistent obsessed newspaper reporter Jack McGee(Jack Colvin), but what I don't understand is why was McGee no where to be found in THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 5th Season, but still had his name on the credits and introduction to THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 1981-82 Season as the investigative reporter pursuing the Hulk, yet McGee barely only came out on 1 episode in the Hulk's Fifth Season, which was the "Triangle" episode only, which was the last episode shown before this science-fiction drama was cancelled all of the sudden in the mid Fall of 1981 after the "Triangle" episode was shown on its original air-date which was Friday November 13th, 1981.
Therefore, this shows sudden cancellation was very similar to when CBS had cancelled WONDER WOMAN all of the sudden in the early Fall of 1979 since the last 2 episodes of WONDER WOMAN "The Man Who Couldn't Die" & "The Phantom Of The Rollercoaster" led us to beleive that CBS was kicking off a 4th Season of WONDER WOMAN before CBS cancelled WONDER WOMAN in mid September of 1979 when THE INCREDIBLE HULK had kicked off its 3rd Season on CBS.
Therefore, chances are CBS already had plans in the Summer of 1979 underway to cancel WONDER WOMAN in the Fall of 1979 just like CBS already had plans to cancel THE INCREDIBLE HULK in the Fall of 1981 when the Hulks 5th Season was already in the works with 7 episodes already in the can which contributed to THE INCREDIBLE HULKs 1981-82 Season being an abbreviated season, except WONDER WOMAN had no 4th Season or even half a season before WONDER WOMAN was axed after showing its very last episode on Tuesday September 11th, 1979.
Description of The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Series
Bill Bixby stars as scientist Bruce Banner, a man who has been living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote to the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. But when the military masterminds who dream of exploiting his powers force him back to civilization, he finds himself coming face-to-face with his most formidable foe: The Abomination, a nightmarish beast of pure aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own!Bestsellers in DVD
