My Thoughts:
A good episode... but seems a bit "been there done that"... if I am not mistaken we already had an episode or two involving a forest fire already. Don't get me wrong... they did a fine job with it. But was it really needed once again?

Guest Stars:
Laurie Prange
Roger Robinson

My Thoughts:
An excellent start to this classic 2-parter. This 2 part episode has always been a favorite of mine.I really liked the way they made David look when he is stuck at the half way point of his transformation. And I think Bill Bixby played it perfectly. dropping the intelligence level of his character just right... and bringing up the anger. Just worked great.

My Thoughts:
And here we have an excellent conclusion. I liked the story... really liked the blind woman he was with... which is something I forgot to mention in my thoughts of Part 1. The woman that played her has appeared in this series before. The first time in the second TV Movie from before the series... Death in the Family. Where she played the girl that was being poisoned for the inheritance. And I liked her in it this time just as much as I did in that TV Movie.

My Thoughts:
Not a bad episode... but really pretty standard. I did like the sky diving scenes. That is something I always wanted to try... but never had the opportunity. Heck... I never even been in a plane before. In this one the storyline was just OK... and I had a difficult time caring about most the characters.

My Thoughts:
Well... what can I say... the mood hit me this evening to watch some of this show. I been feeling the desire return every since I watched the Thanksgiving episode the other day. I kept putting off returning to this series only because the plot for this episode just didn't sound to appealing to me. 10 minutes into this one and I could tell I don't care for the style this one was done. In the old gumshoe type style... where you hear the PI narrating the story for you.... Blah! It really kinda ruined the story for me... just not my taste. The only thing this one had for me to enjoy is when The Hulk was on the screen.

Guest Stars:
Leslie Ackerman
Charlie Brill

Lou Ferrigno

My Thoughts:
In this one Lou Ferrigno gets an extra part (as well as a guest star credit to go along with his starring credit) for a role other then The Hulk. I didn't care too much for the last couple... but this one is much better. I enjoyed seeing Lou Ferrigno without the green make-up.

My Thoughts:
This one I liked a lot. It has a really good story... and I liked the setting in the wax museum. I got a kick out of how David handled it when the sculptor used his face for one of the wax figures in the museum.

This 2 part episode is one that I remember always enjoying a lot back in the day. Going into it I was hoping I wasn't remember it being better then it actually is.
