## Resource

We have previously reviewed a couple of the 1980s Incredible Hulk made for TV movies but today we go back to the original 1978 TV series by way of the NBC streaming app to see episode 1 season 1 where we get the origin and first transformation of the TV Incredible Hulk. This was a really good, high quality, television show and still stands out from most of the TV superhero offerings of the era. Starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk.
