Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 10/21/2008 Amazon.com: The television adventures of Dr. David Banner and his muscle-bound, anger-prone alter ego The Incredible Hulk come to an abrupt conclusion with The Complete Fifth Season set. As fans of the cult series know all too well, a slight change in ratings and costs for the series prompted its parent network to pull the plug on the show before its fifth season was launched; prior to this, seven episodes had been shot immediately after the conclusion of the fourth season in anticipation of the union strike that brought TV production to a halt in 1981. The Hulk's producers had hoped to bring the series to a more concise conclusion in its fifth season, but were denied the opportunity to shoot an additional nine episodes in order to accomplish that goal. As it stands, The Incredible Hulk ends on an ambiguous note, with Bill Bixby's David Banner still plagued by the monster (Lou Ferrigno) inside of him, and with no opportunity for a cure in sight; it's a disappointment, considering the care and maturity that the show took in presenting its comic book-inspired material. The final seven episodes are also somewhat lackluster, with only the eerie "finale," "A Minor Problem," as the stand out. Still, fans who've carried the torch for the TV Hulk over the past two decades will want the set, if only to have the complete network run in their collection. The DVD includes two featurettes: the first is a sentimental look back at the show's final days by producer Kenneth Johnson and members of the writing and production team, while the second, a gag reel, does much to imply that Bill Bixby was not as dour in real life as David Banner. However, the continued absence of Ferrigno from the supplemental material remains a curious and glaring oversight. -- Paul Gaita Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Incredible Hulk Season 5I think it is a shame that they could not put these last seven episodes on the fourth season. Rating: - The end is here...sadlyThe final season of "The Incredible Hulk" consists of just 7 episodes and I'm not really all that sure as to how many of these were actual season 5 episodes. The fourth season was cut short due to a writers strike, had a late start and only 18 episodes. Before the fifth season got underway the show had already been canceled. As is, this is easily the weakest season overall. Of the 7 episodes, three are worthy of the best the series had to offer. 1. The Phenom: BAD. Bad ...

THE INCREDIBLE HULK:The Complete Series will be released on the same day along with the new THE INCREDIBLE HULK Movie. Rating: - The Incredible Hulk - The Complete Fifth SeasonI'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 ...
