The Incredible Hulk: Season 4


13. THE FIRST: Part 2
Airdate: Mar. 13, 1981
It's the ultimate battle of good versus evil as the Hulk faces off against the creature that holds the secret of the antidote he so desperately needs.

Guest Stars:
Edward Walsh
Cliff Emmich
Billy Green Bush
Dick Durock

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed the second part as much as I did the first. The showdown between The Hulk and the other creature was well done. This 2-part episode remains a favorite of the entire series... which is something that can seldomly be said about an episode of a show in it's 4th season.

The Incredible Hulk: Season 4


14. THE HARDER THEY FALL
Airdate: Mar. 27, 1981
Paralyzed from the waist down after an auto accident, David must rely on the Hulk to stop a dangerous bank heist.

Guest Stars:
Denny Miller
Peter Hobbs
Diane Shalet
William Bogert
Joe Dorsey

My Thoughts:
This is another good episode. I really enjoyed the storyline. Having David seriously injured for a while almost felt like a new idea to the same old storyline. Made it a little refreshing after 4 seasons of the series. Even if you did already know how it would work itself out. Of course just to be safe they flashed back to the pilot movie to remind people that The Hulk has a much faster and better healing rate.

This one is nothing more then a clip show. But I do like how they did it... with David finding someone he believed he was able to talk to... and get it all out for a change.

The Incredible Hulk: Season 4

Guest Stars:
Don Stroud

My Thoughts:
Pretty good episode... really just a filler. Though there was one thing in this one you don't see often. At least I don't remember seeing it in any of the previous episodes. One of the times David turns into The Hulk... you don't see his eyes turn first.

The subject of this story didn't interest me as much as most episodes. But it turned out pretty good. Really just no more then an average episode.

Well... that brings me to the end of the 4th Season! Now there is only one more very short (7 episodes) season... plus the 3 reunion movies to go. I am so close to finishing up this thread!

Guest Stars:
Brett Cullen
Anne Lockhart

A decent episodes... but I kind of expected a little more for the first episode of a new season. I did however get a kick out of the part where the baseball team's mascot came face to face with The Hulk.

Guest Stars:
Kathleen Nolan

My Thoughts:
Another good episode... but still it seems like something is just a bit off about these last couple episodes. Maybe it is the whole season 5 thing... and the reason it only lasted 7 episodes. But so far while enjoyable... they fall short from really being impressive episodes.

Guest Stars:
Paul Koslo

My Thoughts:
This one here I had a bit of trouble getting into. An ok story... but nothing more. So far it has been pretty sad watching this final season of a series that I loved so much as a kid. I am just finding I am not caring about the characters or storylines as much as I have in the past seasons.

Guest Stars:
Peter Mark Richman
Charles Napier

My Thoughts:
This one is more like it... this feels more like The Hulk that I am used to! It is a shame there was such a run of bad episodes right at the beginning of the season. That surely had something to do with the cancellation so early into the season.

Airdate: May 5, 1982
Captured and imprisoned, David Banner is forced to work as a slave in a gold mine.

Guest Stars:
John Hancock

My Thoughts:
It was pretty cool seeing Faye Grant (Greatest American Hero) in this episode. Matter of fact this if from just after her role on Greatest American Hero. Once again... really enjoyed this episode. Seems like they are getting their stride back... but it was just too late to save the series.

Guest Stars:
Nancy Grahn

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. Liked the story and characters. Glad the series ended on an episode I enjoyed. After the episode I watched the gag reel included in this set. Going by this gag reel... it looked like Bill Bixby was really a trip to work with.... looked like he was always having fun and goofing off a bit.
