[@dembones5005]

To be fair, Ferrigno's grunt-flexing really showed how much of a beast of body builder he was back in the day. (Man's 70 and he's still huge). If you've got it, use it.

Can we appreciate that just covering Lou Ferrigno in green paint made a pretty convincing Hulk?

that's what I loved about that series/movies. He actually looks like something scary and intimidating that you can believe some scrawny dude mutates into in a manner of seconds. I found that much more apt than the house-sized brick-shaped Hulk.

[@mggardiner4066]

I only got to watch the first season but it was pretty enjoyable. I wish it had followed less of a Nancy Drew formula and showed a bit more of him dealing with the Hulk or trying to study or cure it, but that is the 70’s. I don’t think story arcs were really big then

[@kepckatherinec805]

When I was in junior hi, I loved the TV show My Favorite Martian. Bill Bixby was great in that show. Fourteen years after My Favorite Martian premiered, Bill starred in The Incredible Hulk. My daughter was a toddler at that time and was enthralled by the Hulk. She would sit on the floor in front of the TV, waiting with amazing patience throughout each episode for Bill to get angry and turn into the Hulk. When those moments arrived, my daughter would clap and giggle and scream with glee. Her two favorite toys during her preschool years were her Tonka dump truck-and her Incredible Hulk doll. Barbie dolls were never on her radar. My little girl loved action!
