Amazon.com: The Incredible
Hulk's third season (1979-1980) continued to cultivate the
intriguing mix of melancholy drama and room-wrecking action
that initially attracted its audience, while exploring new
ways to tell the story of David Banner (Bill Bixby) and his
quest to tame the monster (Lou Ferrigno) inside him. Most of
the episodes follow the Fugitive-like framework of the
previous seasons, with Banner becoming entangled in dramas
both big and small on his lonely journey; over the course of
the third season, he rescues a glam rock singer (Mackenzie
Phillips) in the season opener "Metamorphosis", gets
blackmailed by mobsters in "Nine Hours," and winds up on a
chain gang in "The Slam" (actor Charles Napier, who provided
the growls for the Hulk in later seasons, is among the
episode's guest stars). But the creators also stepped away
from the formula for several episodes, including "Proof
Positive," which gives a back story to dogged reporter Jack
McGee and a terrific showcase for actor Jack Colvin;
"Homecoming" also fleshes out Banner's history by introducing
his family in a Thanksgiving setting, which is naturally
disrupted by the arrival of the Hulk. The season is not
without its false notes ("Behind the Wheel" has Banner turning
into the Hulk while attempting to deliver a baby), but for the
most part, it's one of the show's most solid seasons, anchored
as always by Bixby's enormously empathetic performance. The
five-DVD set includes all 23 episodes of The Incredible
Hulk's third season, as well as an informative featurette,
"Remembering The Incredible Hulk: An American Classic."
The 18-minute extra includes interviews with series creator
Kenneth Johnson and several of the show's writers and
producers, who discuss the challenges of keeping the show
fresh in its third season, as well as the personal tragedies
incurred by Bixby during its production. A brief promotion for
the Incredible Hulk theatrical release, which includes
clips from the movie and a chat with star Edward Norton,
rounds out the extras. --Paul
