With all the brute force of the Hulk, he still knew what was right and wrong. This video had me so emotional. In the midst of all that anger, all that rage he could still be a gentle giant. I agree with one of the comments, the special effects may look dated, but the story for this episode has touched our hearts and that's what matters. Thanks for the video, thanks Kenneth Johnson, James D. Parrott (director) and most of all Bill Bixby and Lou Feringo.

[@dennisfedor5620]

I always admired David's bravery in this scene in how he stood up to the abusive father at the door in trying to help the situation, even if it would result in a hard fall for David... It was heartbreaking no one in the community was willing to help David in this situation..Certainly a message sent in for us to be better as humans..

[@teijaflink2226]

And this sort of explains too why he always got into so much trouble because majority of people just don't care enough and don't want to get involved. David has a huge heart, he almost cares too much or maybe he saw it almost as his det tovuse hulk because people just don't care.

I have always maintained The Incredible Hulk TV series is an underrated gem. It had intelligent story lines and this one particularly upset me when I first watched it in the 70’s. I recorded this episode off the TV about six years ago and have still been too afraid to watch it, especially the final scene, which has much pathos. It rang very true with me, for reasons you can obviously figure. SPOILER: It has been near 42 years since I watched this episode. If I remember right, when the abusive dad deservingly gets the seven bells of sh1t, beaten out of him and is left sobbing and terrified, the son who he habitually brutalised goes to comfort him. Heartbreaking.

[@CelltheGREAT]

Absolutely bro.

[@lowbridge7070]

I was being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional home. My parents split up when I was young. Around 5-6 years old. My father was the nice, normal one who didn't believe in yelling at or hitting his kids. My mother was the abuser. She retained custody of us kids and her abuse didn't begin until after the split. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV every single day as a way to provide myself with escape and comfort from misery. The incredible hulk was one of many tv shows I watched and enjoyed. Even though in this show it's the father that's the abuser, this episode really spoke to me. I identified with it alot. Oh, how I wished a superhero, or anyone else would come to the rescue of me and my siblings from our mother. But much like the neighbors who give David banner the cold shoulder and ignore him when he pleads with them to help him help the child, our neighbors also did nothing for me even though they were well aware of my mothers daily abuse (and it was daily). As they could hear her yelling and screaming outside the 4 walls of our place. Especially in the summer when our windows were wide open because we had no air conditioning. Our neighbors would remark to us kids, "boy, your mother sure does yell alot".

[@vaggos2003]

[@knightrcer]

When I was a little kid I used to feel like a wus. Always picked on by kids and bullies in school. Watched this show and was incredibly afraid of the creature. I had nightmares of the hulk chasing me. Until I saw the episode Lou ferrigno played a role as a bodybuilder and was face to face with the hulk. It's like it flipped a switch in my mind saying instead of fearing the hulk, why not try to become him. I used the creature as an image to give me courage instead of running away from fights, I defended myself. I decided to build up my upper body strength. That gave me confidence I needed. I am not a violent person by any means. I only retaliate when provoked.
