After seeing the brand spanking new Incredible Hulk movie last Friday, I took a journey backwards in time when I noticed that the original television series of the same name was now available on Hulu.
The first season of the 1978 series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno is there for you guys to watch for free. I checked out the first one and I have to say, it was kind of cool.
It almost made me wish that these new movies had perhaps stuck with just some huge body builder to play the Hulk, instead of the hard-to-relate-to CGI versions.
You can watch the first episode below, and check out the rest on Hulu.
If you can’t see the video you can watch the pilot episode here.
I don't know what's up with the video. The video is available on the Hulu site. I went there and it allows for embedding which is what Mike did. I did it again and it gave us the same message. Not sure why. I added a link to the page on Hulu where you can view the video for the pilot episode.
Wow, maybe some video isn't allowed to be embedded, but that's weird that they allow you to download the code anyways.
Sorry guys.
I haven't seen the show in ages, but I watched it all the time when it first aired. It was a good show at the time. I think that nostalgia (as unreliable as that is) is what has kept me from going to the theater. I like that they had Lou playing Hulk and having a CG character really dampens that experience for me…oh well, I'll probably end up watching the movie at some point since it has Roth and Norton in it and Downey makes his cameo.
…and you say I'm old!! I think you'll like the Hulk, it was done nicely…
I never saw this one either… Of course in 1978 I was just a twinkle in my mom's eyes.
Great - that's good to know. Now I feel as old as the Cap'n.
Yeah - that's a very sad realization. Just think how you will feel in another 10 years when kids born in 2000 get to vote!
Man. I started DRIVING in 1990…
Wow, you're old.
Wow, I think you're a smidge older than me even
I failed out of college and joined the military in 1990 - lol
In 1990 I was 2 years in to a 20 year career at where I work currently!…. try that on for size all you whipper snappers!
And Ana thought I was old…
Man! What where you captain of? The Mayflower?
ROTFL - that was point worthy.
Whoo hoo!
Oh sure, now suddenly the points work…
After seeing Hulk in the Movies today I have to say Thanks to Mike for posting this . I wish they would bring back this TV show on Sci-Fi .
What do you think about the CGI version of The Hulk, or the actual “person” version?
I think the movies should have just given up on the CGI stuff and stuck to a duo, like Bill Bixby and Lou.
yes I do as well Ed did an Ok job but after seeing Lou in the Movie I wish they would of just did with him and nothing with the CGI..But Overall it was Superb ! I have been trying to find the TV shows for weeks now on the net and can't without DL a Huge file . Thanks Again !
No problem…Hulu is a great site, look for more TV shows on it…lots of good stuff
Hulu is the bomb! I love that site.
