There are some great episodes in this bunch, including 'The First', as well as the most expensive Hulk episode ever made, 'Prometheus'. 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 debris are visible on all episodes. The sound is Dolby Digital 2.0, which is what one would expect from such an old series. Unfortunately, there are no bonus features or even an interview with Lou Ferrigno. Worse still, one can't even tell what episodes are on each disc because none are numerically labeled, thus the episode order discrepancies on various sites. This was indeed a rushed DVD set from Universal meant to cash in on the publicity surrounding the 2003 Ang Lee Hulk movie. This release is definitely better suited to the budget-conscious casual fan wanting to relive some fond memories. For hardcore fans, The Incredible Hulk Complete Series set is better worth the investment since there were so many more great episodes from this classic TV series.
