The Incredible Hulk TV Series

The Incredible Hulk TV Series

When I was a kid, I used to love watching the Incredible Hulk TV series. It was one of my favorite shoes, along with Dr. Who and the A-team. I didn’t watch a lot of television, but when I did, those were the shows that I really loved to see. I used to watch Star Trek too, but you won’t catch me talking about it too much, because I don’t remember much about it. The Hulk, the A-Team, and Dr. Who stuck in my mind for a long time.

There are times when I want to see reruns of the Incredible Hulk TV series, but can never seem to find them on television. They may be there, but I just never see them when I have the rare opportunity to watch what I want on the television. I do remember that for the longest time, I thought the actor that stared in the Incredible Hulk TV series really did turn into that big green guy. I try to remember this when my daughter watches things on television. I guess that’s why she believes that Wags the Dog of the Wiggles is a real dog, and why I delight in watching her when she views the show.

My brother was also a huge fan of the Incredible Hulk TV series, and he even had his very own Hulk stuffed figure. He carried that thing with him everywhere, and for all I know, he still has it. It lost its pants early on, but the rest of the figure remained a fixture in his life for years. There are many pictures of my brother holding that thing, and it was looking pretty ragged after a while. Back then, merchandising wasn’t as big as it is now, and there weren’t many Hulk toys from which to choose. That didn’t matter though, I’m pretty sure he was happy with what he had.

If you are interested in watching reruns of the Incredible Hulk TV series, you can simply do an online search and order the box set. Most of the seasons are available, and all you have to do is put the DVD into your DVD player and you can turn back time. There truly is something magical about a time when you believed a good man can turn into a great big hulking green thing when he gets angry. Funny, when I get angry, I tend to turn purple, but I don’t seem to have the same great adventures that Hulk did.
