Bill Bixby debuts as "Doctor David Banner, physician, scientist, searching for a way to tap into the hidden strength that all humans have..." That is how the subsequent series' narration would begin for each episode, in this textbook case of how to adapt a comic book to the small screen. Bixby is highly effective in portraying this driven, and tragic man who is a victim of an accidental overdose of gamma radiation, that causes him to undergo a metamorphosis whenever he becomes angry.
Also debuting in their roles are Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk, and Jack Colvin as relentless tabloid reporter Jack McGee, who pursues Banner and his colleague Elaina Marx, played by Susan Sullivan. Joe Harnell's haunting "Lonely Man" theme is heard here, and plays a big part at the end.
A classic!
