Trivia:

In most episodes, David Banner turned into the Hulk twice. The first transformation typically occurred 20 to 30 minutes after the start of the show, while the second transformation took place during the climax.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the Hulk breaks through a brick wall, (typically at the end of the show) the clothing that he wears changes between his approach to the wall, and to the view of him running down the alley, and this is repeated in several different episodes, which clearly looks like the same stock footage being re-used.

Quotes:

Jack McGee: Human interest stories do not make front page.

Good show with an ultimate goal

I always have admired shows that have an ultimate goal.You had to tune in every week to see how much closer Dr. Banner was to ridding himself of his green alter ego.Though it had an atmosphere most people would say that would be more befitting a Saturday morning placement among cartoons and the like,I found the show very entertaining.Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno were great as the troubled doctor and his green counterpart respectively.Though not among television's all time best,it was an entertaining enough show.Although I have wondered why Dr.Banner would want to rid himself of this creature,when he seemed to need him every time he turned around,as often as he was getting beat up.Anyway, I liked it.
