The Incredible Hulk - The Complete
Fifth Season
Editorial Review:
Product Description:
INCREDIBLE
HULK:COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON - DVD Movie
Amazon.com:
The television
adventures of Dr. David Banner and his muscle-bound,
anger-prone alter ego The Incredible Hulk come to an
abrupt conclusion with The Complete Fifth Season set.
As fans of the cult series know all too well, a slight change
in ratings and costs for the series prompted its parent
network to pull the plug on the show before its fifth season
was launched; prior to this, seven episodes had been shot
immediately after the conclusion of the fourth season in
anticipation of the union strike that brought TV production to
a halt in 1981. The Hulk's producers had hoped to bring
the series to a more concise conclusion in its fifth season,
but were denied the opportunity to shoot an additional nine
episodes in order to accomplish that goal. As it stands,
The Incredible Hulk ends on an ambiguous note, with
Bill Bixby's David Banner still plagued by the monster (Lou
Ferrigno) inside of him, and with no opportunity for a cure in
sight; it's a disappointment, considering the care and
maturity that the show took in presenting its comic
book-inspired material. The final seven episodes are also
somewhat lackluster, with only the eerie "finale," "A Minor
Problem," as the stand out. Still, fans who've carried the
torch for the TV Hulk over the past two decades will
want the set, if only to have the complete network run in
their collection. The DVD includes two featurettes: the first
is a sentimental look back at the show's final days by
producer Kenneth Johnson and members of the writing and
production team, while the second, a gag reel, does much to
imply that Bill Bixby was not as dour in real life as David
Banner. However, the continued absence of Ferrigno from the
supplemental material remains a curious and glaring oversight.
