Never Attack The Hulk! | Season 3 Episode 7 | The Incredible Hulk

[@isaacdodson1565]

I’m 22, but I was raised with this series and the made for tv movies, and they are still the best depictions of Hulk. I like to go back every now and again and watch the movies and watch clips from the show, just to remind myself of how precious the show is. Bill Bixby and Lou introduced me to Hulk and have given me so many great memories. I truly fell in love with the character because of Bill and Lou’s portrayal. “Everybody’s gangsta until the hulk shows up” - random guy on YT comment section.

[@kendonovin]

The music and the build up before the change, excellent. Hard to believe at fifty something years young, this show still brings me so much joy. R.i.p Bill Bixby, you will never be forgotten.

This was my Hulk growing up. I remember the premiere and how I never missed an episode as it was on Friday nights. I was a mere teenager when the show started. Well here I am in 2022 and have such fond memories of this show. I almost went full on fanboy meeting Mr. Lou Ferrigno at a charity event in California. I ran into him a few years later at a Comic-con and he remembered me. There was no one else except the two of us chatting, then suddenly everyone seemed curious as to who I was. I never forgot how much it made me feel like a celebrity. This was a special moment and I never forgot how gracious Mr. Ferrigno was.

He must get paid good money to run behind somebody he'll never catch 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I thought he would have gave up by now

[@joegongora2200]

How ironic it's similar to the Fugitive the relentless FBI lieutenant would get soo close and Dr Kimble would get away. Dr Banner and Dr Kimble were both doctors on the run. Just that Dr Kimble caught up to the one-armed man that killed his wife. Dr Banner never found a cure that would make him normal again, nor he was able to prove his innocence. The creature was blamed for a murder that he didn't commit. Culprit for the fire in lab that was started by Jack Magee if he hadn't been snooping around.

[@norfolksouthernrailfan2006]

And the thing is the Hulk saved his life from being killed by that kid and still chased him down calling him a murder!

[@archangel5627]

I completely agree with you. You could tell in some episodes that the constant, long, and sometimes stressful shooting schedules got to Lou Ferrigno. There are a few episodes where his muscles weren’t as large or defined and that was probably due to not being able to workout as much when they had some long and hectic filming schedules to adhere to. But that definitely wasn’t the case in this episode. Lou Ferrigno looked absolutely monstrous in this episode.

[@robertbauers2210]

@Arch Angel 👍👍💪💪 they are definitely monstrous in this episode. Shoulders (Traps) chest and arms massive

[@barryallenflash1]

I've met Lou at 2 different comicons. One of the nicest guys AND still as big as he was on this show. Both my sons and I got a pic with him...man he's HUGE! He had a Q&A at the second con we went to. He talked about a LOT of stuff dealing with his personal life. He talked about Bill, Arnold S. and even Michael Jackson. Very open about his life.

[@FirefighterKWann]

One thing I just realized, in this episode, notice how usually the Hulk just grabs, and throws the person who hurt David and caused the transformation, I wonder if they had the character this episode hold back cause he was a teenager, and yes still capable of hurting someone, instead didnt directly hurt him.

[@vxy357]

in this episode, the Hulk was accused of assaulting and killing the teen from that gang called the Renegades. So maybe that's one reason he held back.

[@jeremyknight9980]

Oh yeah I've never thought about that before, he didnt throw those kids from "The First" either. I think the Hulk throwing children/teenagers would've ended up being pretty controversial.

I'll never forget this episode of the Hulk especially how muscular Lou Ferrigno was. He was the true Hulk and it's sad that The Avengers didn't exist in television. Until years later when they'd appear in movies. The kid made his mistake by shooting at the Hulk. It turns out he wasn't soo big after all he couldn't reload his gun because he was paralyzed with fear.

[@xaviervega468]

Avengers wouldn't have worked back then. Could you imagine how corny Iron Man would have looked? Plus it would have taken away from the Hulk's personal stories, which were excellent.

[@joegongora2200]

@@xaviervega468 in one made for TV Movie in 1988 Thor did appear in a Hulk movie and was big and muscular. Of course he sided with Hulk and since Dr Banner was living with some woman. The bad guys caused trouble for them and Thor saw what happened and told Hulk, Hey...they're stealing your woman! Hulk and Thor went after those guys. Another made for TV movie in 1990 I think it was called, The Death of The Incredible Hulk Dare Devil made an appearance. He was already blind when he met Dr Banner. They didn't look much like the way Marvel Superheroes look in today's movies. Of course those super heroes weren't considered much for TV roles. Before the Hulk appeared on TV Spiderman had a short series in the 70's that didn't last a complete season. Of course things were done differently in the 70's.

[@Tricob1974]

With as much flak as I give Season Three, this episode was a major highlight. In the second half of Season Three, few exciting concepts were adopted, but this was definitely one. It was the mother of a family of intriguing ideas, and we saw her massive offspring in Season Four. If you're going to watch one episode of this entire season, this is the one to watch.

[@SavageHulk2002]

I thought season 3 was good tbh and I feel the show started dropping in quality late season 4 after The First.

[@SavageHulk2002]

I should add though I still enjoyed all the way through despite that

[@milovaldez8269]

Ahhhhhh. The memories. That took place at The Grand Olympic Auditorium. Back in the 1970s. Hulk broke the ring posts. Back than when I was a little boy. I do remember that ring. For both boxing and pro wrestling. Great memories. Now it's a Korean Christian Church. On Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles.

[@marlanaferro1558]

Bill Bixby passed away so young, only 59 years old. TIH was canceled in '82, and he passed in '93. I enjoyed this show so much as a kid and watched the re-runs on SciFi over 20 years ago. This brings me back. Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno were the perfect choices for their characters.

[@karlcooper7016]

What I like about the Hulk is how the writers show t he still human side of the Hulk because he could have really ripped that kid to shreds instead of just bringing the ring post and ropes down on him.

Jack McGee should've had the police nearby when he decided to interview the boy who was a friend of Robbie, the boy thought to have been killed by the Hulk, but McGee got surprised when Johnny had admitted that he did it by mistake. Good thing that David turned into the Hulk to save McGee after Johnny shot him in the head for trying to stop him.

[@FirefighterKWann]

Has to be hands down one of my favorites, and often wondered why David didn’t just hold on to the side as he transformed. Give the kid something to really be scared of. Kid thought he was badass and gonna kill David, and Mr Magee, big time error.

[@thecomicbookguy7968]

My theory as to the reason why David didn’t hold onto the side is because the surge of the transformation was so overwhelming that he couldn’t maintain his grip, hence why he plummeted to the ground.

Kenneth Johnson told me once that if the hulk had not been canceled, the whole McGee / Banner storyline would have been resolved in the final episode, which likely would have involved a court case.
