THE BUMRUSH

Bill Bixby was such the man that he didn't even mind giving an interview to Clint Howard in 1977.

As a child of the 1980's, I have fond memories of the TV movie "The Incredible Hulk Returns", which was played on a non-stop loop back in the day. In the movie, Thor makes an appearance as comic relief to the Hulk. Ridiculous? Absolutely. Still, I ate it up at the time as a 10 year old.

There has never been a better intro to a TV show than this. Ok, maybe the A-Team was a little better.

One of the great things about living in the 21st century is our ability to catalog media and organize it in such as way that it easily accessible by anyone who is interested in learning more about a specific subject, such as the great Bill Bixby.

For example, the Bill Bixby A&E Biography called Chasing Perfection is currently available online. It was created in 2001 and chronicles Bixby's life both in his professional success and personal demons. Here is part 1 of the biography.

An interview with Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in 1988 on some local news show called Live Noonday. Worth a view just for Ferrigno ‘s mullet and some sweet daytime news special effects.

Bill Bixby acting silly and screwing up scenes. The Youtube title says it is from The Incredible Hulk, but it looks like the outakes are from various Bixby productions. It's still all Bixby and all good.

As a follow-up to the last Bixby clip, here is another video about David Banner turning into the Hulk for a ridiculous reason...

I DON'T HAVE 25 CENTS!

There are a number of good reasons why David Banner would turn into the Hulk – I remember a lot of the time it would be because he was shot or being beat up or something. But, not always. As the person who posted this video put it:

Usually when Dr David Banner changes into the Hulk, it is because of danger of death, extreme pain or fear. However, there have been some occasions when the transformation is triggered by something mundane we can all identify with, something I personally love...

...something like a traffic jam.

Oh boy, is this clip a find or what. Watch the Incredible Hulk fight a grizzly bear, and make sure to pay close attention at the end to see if you can spot the clever special effect they used.



Technically, Bill Bixby is no where to be found in this clip, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to link to this incredible video.

Before his pop culture defining role as the Hulk, Bill Bixby starred in a short running series in the early 70's called The Magician. Bixby was an amateur magician himself, so he really must have enjoyed himself on this show. Here is Bixby's opening to the show.

One of the greatest achievements of the Youtube era is the fact that we can now watch full episodes of the Incredible Hulk from the comfort of our own bean bag chairs while digging our meaty paws into another bag of orangey-delicious Cheetos. God bless this world.

In this episode:

"...a mysterious gas cannister on a US army base causes some people, including Banner to go blind and rouge generals try to get it back to cover it up....Then Hulk mayhem ensues!!!"

Some of David Banner’s best hulk outs from season 3 of the Incredible Hulk. They really give you an idea how often producers went dipped into the well of “extreme close-ups” for the hulking out scenes. And you’ve got to feel bad for Banner, he must go through about 200 pairs of boots a year. That can’t good on the old clothing budget.

This should bring back memories: The old introduction to the Incredible Hulk TV show.



Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
