Convinced by the link, Banner decides to put it to the test when he deliberately doses himself with gamma radiation. Unknown to him however, the machine was modified to give a far higher dose than he anticipated. While there was no immediate effect, that soon changes when on the way home, he forced to change a tire in the rain. He injures himself and the result anger and frustration transforms him into a massively powerful green giant, the Hulk. He eventually changes back and, now he must investigate what did this thing and face the consequences.

    Another unrealistic idea of my men but loved him, other than the green look. Green is a great look for money but not for genetic mutations.
  • March 20, 2009
    My nephew loved it, we watched it all the time, but as for me, no I did not like it....
  • January 29, 2009
    I loved this old show...

  • January 9, 2009
    These episodes aren't that bad, considering they are from the 70's

    Bill Bixby was the best Banner ever. Ferrigno, despite being covered in make-up that would visibly smear and wearing a tacky fright-wig, was also the best Hulk ever (Ang Lee's child-like behemoth be damned! When Banner's the Hulk, he should actually look ANGRY, like, "I want to rip you in half" angry- Lee's Hulk was too calm and complacent too often). And I don't care if he never existed in the comics, Jack McGee was the best foil for Banner... giant seventies sunglasses and all (take THAT, Josh Lucas!).
