Summary: How can you?
Review: That's right. How can you leave out A child in need, Ricky and the Ferrigno duel role King of the beach and call this the ultimate collection? However there is a saving grace. Death in the family,The First,and Prometheus are great episodes. If these plus the above episodes along with the Pilot episode and Married were put together, That! would be the ultimate collection WHAT FANS CHOSE THESE EPISODES? YOU CERTAINLY DIDN'T ASK ME

Summary: A wonderful collection!
Review: The only reason I knocked a star of the rating of this collection is not because of the episodes themselves but because of how lazy Universal was in putting it together. What kind of boxed set arranges episodes in a completely random order and then fails to mark what the order is anywhere within the entire package. This one!
But this is such a great show and fans have been so desperate for a collection like this that that fact can almost be overlooked. I'm guessing after this release that Universal has scrapped any chance of releasing season by season collections. This is it folks! But that isn't so bad since the majority of the best episodes from the series can be found in this collection. Except for a few odd choices such as "Deep Shock," "Rainbow's End," and "Kindred Spirits" among others which certainly could have been replaced by better episodes. But as long as the very best are included, I'm happy.
Here is my brief reviews of each episode included:
Rainbow's End - 3/5 - This is a pretty average episode... possibly the least interesting in this set (not that the Hulk using his incredible super-abilities to steer a horse out of a burning barn isn't edge of your seat entertainment :b). But that's not saying much in a great collection of episodes like this.
Another Path - 3/5 - Not among the cream of the crop, but a decent episode with an interesting character in the old blind martial artist. The climax is pretty darn corny though... even for a series about a big green guy who likes to smash stuff.
The Disciple - 3/5 - This is sort of a sequel to "Another Path," but it is actually a worse episode. In fact, it is strange that this episode was even included considering that the main character in the story isn't even David Banner, but some "karate kid-like" character.
747 - 4/5 - This episode will definitely keep you gripped! Take the plot that is so often used in movies... an airplane full of passengers without a pilot and throw the hulk into the mix and you've got yourself a good time!
Death in the Family (2 parts) - 4/5 - This is a pretty good episode, but the weakest of the two-parters.
The First (2 parts)- 5/5 - This is my favorite episode of the entire series! It is just pure fun seeing another Hulk running around and the climactic battle between the two is probably the most entertaining scene of the series. A great script, eery atmosphere, and interesting characters make this a must-see episode for any fan of this show.
Kindred Spirits- 3/5 - This is possibly the most formulaic episode in the collection so it isn't particularly exciting, but it is decent.
Stop the Presses- 4/5- This one is for those Jack McGee lovers. This is the funniest episode in this collection and one of the better episodes of the series.
Mystery Man (2 parts)- 5/5- This two-parter episode is very well-done! Not only is it very exciting but it adds so much depth to the character of Jack McGee. There is a lot of brilliant psychological tension used brilliantly to build suspense. I'd rank this the 3rd best episode in this collection.
The Psychic- 4/5- This is a wonderful episode with a fantastic guest star-- Bill Bixby's own wife! And you can almost tell without me mentioning it... there is a lot of screen chemistry between the two and she does a great job in her role as a morally torn woman.
Prometheus (2 parts)- 5/5- This is probably the most famous Hulk episode ever created due to its vast production values. And it does indeed deserve the credit. This one is a very close second to "The First" as my favorite episode. The sets in this episode are probably more extensive than in most motion pictures of the time and the script is top-notch. This is an absolute MUST SEE episode!
Dark Side- 4/5- This episode is pure sadistic fun! After viewing so many other episodes, who hasn't gotten the itching to see a David Banner who isn't so morally pure and a truly homicidal hulk with no mercy? That fascinating twist alone makes this episode one to remember and a popular one with the fans.
Deep Shock- 3/5- This is another one of those very average episodes. It is decent but forgetable.
The Harder They Fall- 5/5- Bill Bixby gives one of his best performances in this episode as a man who suddenly loses his pride along with the use of his limbs. This episode plays on your heartstrings with so many likeable characters and points out the horrible trials that must be dealt with every day by the disabled. Of all the episodes in this collection, this one has the most heart.

Summary: The Ultimate Disappointment Collection
Review: They couldn't have bungled this much worse. This really turns off the fans of the series. Random episodes, no titles or descriptions, no biography or info about the show, a worthless randomized partial listing on the rear cover, cheap packaging with inconvenient access to the discs, really annoying 2 minute commercial on disc 1 for "upcoming releases" that cannot be stopped or bypassed, and annoying short intros to the Universal label at the beginning of every disc that also cannot be bypassed. I pretty much hate it. This really hurts since I was looking forward to owning the complete series. Why can't anyone take a hint from Star Trek:DS9 packaging? They did it ALL right!

Summary: Classic Episodes on a Rushed DVD Release...
Review: This is a 6 disc set containing 18 episodes of "the Incredible Hulk" TV series starring Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby. The episodes are as listed:
Disc 1:
RAINBOW'S END- David Banner hopes that a Native American's special horse tranquilizer will cure his transformations.
ANOTHER PATH- David tries to use an old Chinese man's methods of mind-control in hopes of ridding himself of the Hulk.
THE DISCIPLE- David returns to the old Chinese man only to discover that he is dying.
Disc 2:
747- David is forced to land an airline after the pilots are drugged.
DEATH IN THE FAMILY Parts 1 & 2- David befriends a heiress who is being slowly poisoned by her keepers.
Disc 3:
THE FIRST Parts 1 & 2- David discovers the existence of a Hulk from decades earlier that has now been cured.
KINDRED SPIRITS- David investigates evidence of a prehistoric Hulk-like creature.
Disc 4:
STOP THE PRESSES- David tries to stop a tabloid reporter from publishing a photo of him.
MYSTERY MAN Parts 1 & 2- David, facially bandaged and suffering from amnesia, is aided by Jack McGee in an effort to find his true identity.
Disc 5:
THE PSYCHIC- A psychic discovers David's secret and informs him of McGee's impending death.
PROMETHEUS Parts 1 & 2- The army captures the Hulk after David is stuck in mid-transformation due to radiaton from a meteor.
Disc 6:
DARK SIDE- David's latest cure causes the evil side of his personality to surface.
DEEP SHOCK- An electrical accident leaves David with psychic abilities.
THE HARDER THEY FALL- David is forced to cope with paralysis after a car accident. There are some great episodes in this bunch, including "The First Parts 1 & 2" as well as the most expensive Hulk episode ever made, "Prometheus Parts 1 & 2." The picture quality is about the same as the SciFi Channel reruns. No effort was made to clean up the original film prints as specks of dust and grain are visible on all episodes. The sound is about average and what you'd expect from such a set. Unfortunately, there are no additional bonus features or even commentaries by Lou Ferrigno. What's worse, you can't even tell what episodes are on each disc because they are not labeled. This was indeed a rushed set from Universal meant to cash in on the publicity surrounding the "Hulk" summer movie. For hardcore Hulk TV series fans, this set also means that there will be no season boxed sets! This is truly a shame since there were so many more great episodes of this classic TV series.

Summary: HULK SMASH!!!!!!!
Review: This is my favorite show of all time and I am so happy that they are finally releasing more episodes on DVD so I won't have to tape every single episode on the Scifi channel.The only thing that would make me happier is if they released Knight Rider on DVD but I would reccomend this to any Hulk fan. Thanks

Summary: The Hulk Finally smashed his way to a box set!!!!!!
Review: This is what I have been waiting for. A Hulk box set of the TV series on DVD. Bill Bixby was a wonderful actor and played DAvid perfectly. Lou was great as well as the Hulk. Here is what you will get. Prometheous, The First, Death in the Family, Mystery Man, Stop the Presses, The Psychic, The Harder they Fall, Dark side, Deep Shock, Kindered Spirits and a few more. Instead of releasing these in seasons, they are releasing theme discs. The search for a cure, Jack McGee files, The Legend of the Hulk, Powers of the Hulk and more. Sadly there is no extras, but the commentary over the pilot and Married made up for this. So I highly reccommend this DVD set to all Hulk fans because this is what I have been waiting for for years.

Summary: The Incredible Hulk :Ultimate Collection
Review: This is yet another example of terrible abuse of the DVD standard by an overzealous marketing department. Developers of DVDs have control over what starts playing when you put the DVD in your player and what buttons you can press and when. Unfortunately, some companies have decided to use this feature of the DVD standard to force you to watch their commercials. I was all excited to watch The Hulk and was disappointed that the DVD started by playing a long and annoying commercial for some product. You cannot skip it or access the main menu. You just have to let it play or fast forward through it.
I'm sure I will enjoy the episodes of The Hulk, but if this wasn't a gift and I hadn't already opened it, I would return it immediately on principle. I hope this review will save some of you the frustration I'm feeling right now and send a message to the producer of this DVD. If you object to this type of despicable abuse of the DVD standard then do not buy this product.

04 747
05 Death In The Family
06 The First (part 1)

13 Prometheus (part 1)
14 Prometheus (part 2)
15 Dark SIde 16 Deep Shock
17 The Harder They Fall Lets show Universal they need to release The Incredible Hulk in SEASON BOXSETS by not purchasing this set. They did the same thing with Southpark and countless other shows. Release the 'best of' crap sets, then make us buy the season sets later. Mabey if everyone just starts DOWNLOADING these shows, then these companies will start giving us what we actually want, and not risk loosing our money to 'internet piracy'!! So... I will just wait for the season sets, and see what there is to download.
