The end is here...sadly, Nov 18 2008

This review is from: The Incredible Hulk: Season 5 (DVD)
The final season of "The Incredible Hulk" consists of just 7 episodes and I'm not really all that sure as to how many of these were actual season 5 episodes. The fourth season was cut short due to a writers strike, had a late start and only 18 episodes. Before the fifth season got underway the show had already been canceled.As is, this is easily the weakest season overall. Of the 7 episodes, three are worthy of the best the series had to offer.
1. The Phenom: BAD. Bad acting, bad story, lame Hulk action and an overall silly overtone ruin this one.
2. Two Godmothers: Nothing special. Stretches credibility, even by Hulk standards, weak writing and lame acting. OK Hulk-out in the middle but this is overall a forgettable affair.
3. Veteran: Pretty good. Overall a suspenseful episode with a good plot twist, solid acting, good Hulk action and some nifty flashbacks.
4. Sanctuary: Solid. I'd read some bad reviews for this one but I was pleasantly surprised. It's nothing special but it's entertaining nonetheless. I did find it odd to cast Diana Muldaur (previously cast as David's sister in the Season 3 episode "Homecoming") as the head nun.
5. Triangle: Solid. OK affair in which David falls for a woman but fate rears it's ugly head and sends him on his way once again. Nice twist in the end and this proved to be Jack McGee's swansong in the original series.
6. Slaves: BAD. Nice scenery, nice location, OK story and good actors on paper but all is for naught in this very lame episode. Horrible sequences and beyond bad acting performances sink this puppy. It's a credit to Bixby that he managed to keep a straight face among these actors who are not having a good day.
7. A Minor Problem: Good. At least the series ended on a high note with this suspenseful and somewhat offbeat episode. Good story, eerie atmosphere in the beginning and great Hulk action ensure that the final episode is a gem for Hulk fans.
I wish the series had had a proper conclusion but the TV movie "Death of the Incredible Hulk" at least provided some form of closure to fans. This fifth season is a no-brainer purchase for fans and if they're anything like me, they'll find that overall this is a real keeper, just as the first four seasons.
The extras are solid. A nice 18 plus minute featurette with Ken Johnson and co. and a great gag reel which displays Bixby at his comical best.

This review is from: The Incredible Hulk: Season 5 (DVD)
I'm happy to report that I've finally collected all 5 seasons of the "INCREDIBLE HULK" and thought that all seasons had the SUPERB writing on each episodes! I am a childhood FAN of these series and was so THRILLED to see that the series was on dvd...Lately there was a movie on "THE INCREDIBLE HULK"...But NO...It was not like the ORINGINAL...BILL BIXBY PLYED THE PART BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ACTOR THERE IS...Of TODAY...RIP BILL BIXBY...

Last Season..., Sep 3 2010

This review is from: The Incredible Hulk: Season 5 (DVD)
As many viewers points out this is the weakest of all the seasons simply there's only 7 episodes not enough to really gauge the a full 20 shows season would be like. Also disappointing is that Kenneth Johnson was to properly end the show had there been a full season, we only now have the telefilm "Death of the Incredible Hulk" as a final chapter to this wonderfully crafted television series. Here's to Bill Bixby the once and always HULK (and David Banner too).
