This gets 5 stars because it's a timeless series 5 with lots of excitement and some good episodes, esp "Triangle", & "Veteran" Delivered on time and packaged well. Recommend to all Hulk (original) fans as will bring back memories, esp from the days it was on TV and not repeated that regularly anymore!

The Incredible Hulks final season consists of only 7 episodes instead of the usual 18-22 etc. After the ratings for the 4th season continued to be impressive, CBS initially renewed The Hulk for a full season 5 to begin airing in the fall of 1981 but with 7 episodes shot and in the can the president of CBS decided to cancel the show after all citing the show had run it's course. Series creator Kenneth Johnson and star Bill Bixby both approached CBS to try to convince them to change their minds but this proved to be futile and CBS eventually ran the 7 episodes sporadically over a period of a year. Johnson and Bixby then approached CBS with the offer of a 2 hr TV movie which would have wrapped up the story with Banner finding a cure and going on trial, this was again turned down by CBS and so the conclusion never happened. Then in 1983 Bixby tried to resurrect the show as a series of TV movies and approached Nicholas Hammond who starred in CBS other unfortunately short lived superhero show "Spiderman" to see if he would be interested in reprising the role of Peter Parker/Spiderman in the production. Hammond agreed but CBS said that Lou Ferignno was unavailable for the production so the project stalled. As a side note Ferignno commented years later that CBS never approached him about a Hulk revival ! Seems CBS were just coying with Bixby! Of course Bixby did get the TV movies off the ground a few years later, this time for the NBC network and 3 TV movies were produced, all on very modest budgets. I can see why CBS cancelled The Hulk, the show never really progressed and by the time the 5th season rolled on by the formula was looking a bit stale. Still if you like The Hulk in general then you'll love the last few eps of the show.

Excellent

After four successive seasons of The Incredible Hulk, it has sadly come to fifth and final season of the great television series. Yet again Bill Bixby plays the role of Dr David Banner, who is trying to find the cure of stopping him transform into the angry Hulk, played by Lou Ferrigno. For only watching four episodes so far, I have to say that I enjoyed three episodes that were shown on disc 1, which included, The Phenom, Two Godmothers and Sanctuary. I didn't really the episode known as Veteran, which I wouldn't say was a ***** episode. Yet I have to watch the three episodes on disc 2, but I am enjoying seeing season five for the very first time. Overall season five of The Incredible Hulk is looking good and cannot wait to see the rest, but overall a decent set of episodes to finish off the series.

I'm so very excited that the fifth and final season of The Incredible Hulk is finally here. During the late seventies and early eighties, I really enjoyed the show and hated it when it got cancelled. Bill Bixby was my all time favorite actor and although he died in 1993, his spirit will live on by his best roll as Doctor David Banner. Although he did not want to be in the show at first, his agent, incouraged him to do so and it became the greatest show that he was ever in. I was also sad that there were several episodes that were never filmed and I wish that they could have been because when the series ended, it left serval unanswered questions such as when Doctor David Banner finally be cured of The Incredible Hulk. That was finally answered by the final television movie of the series known as "The Death of The Incredible Hulk", which I highly reccommend for any Incredible Hulk fan. I felt glad for Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk because Bill Bixby incouraged him throughtout the entire series and he became a great actor because of it. However, I felt sorry for Jack Colvin, who played investigative reporter Jack McGee because although his articles of finding The Hulk was never resolved in the capture, they became his obsession and through it all, he became a better actor. Jack Colvin died three years ago but Bill Bixby, his spirit lives on.

Très bonne série.

Série intéressante et coffret de bonne qualité.

My kids (who are now grown and have families of their own) always thought there Mom was a bit odd because I liked The Incredible Hulk - way before the newer movies came out. I had Hulk shirts and toys and comics and photos and even a watch. I told them all about the Incredible Hulk series on TV from when I was younger -- actually the show came out the year my first son was born... I was 25, not exactly a 'youth'. But I liked the HULK comics before that. So, when I noticed that the original TV Movies and Series/Seasons had come out on DVD, I rounded them up - some on Amazon, some elsewhere, some new, some used. I got he Fourth and Fifth Seasons on a great sale from Amazon just last week. They arrived quickly. And now my set is complete - well, except for one of the two recent movies... not Bill Bixby/Lou movies

Bon DVD comme voulu !
