"The Fugitive" ran for four seasons on ABC from 1963 to 1967. The series followed Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen), a (you guessed it) fugitive accused of murdering his wife. Pursued across the country by lawman Philip Gerard (Barry Morse), he tries to prove his innocence by finding the real killer.
On one hand, "The Fugitive" is as episodic as you'd expect from a 1960s TV show. Each episode features Kimble in a different town with a new problem to solve. The backstory is also told via title sequence; the first episode, "Fear in a Desert City," is just another adventure for Kimble, not the murder, trial, and Kimble's escape the way it would be today. However, there's also some serialization with the story threads of Gerard hunting Kimble and Kimble hunting the real murderer, a one-armed man (Bill Raisch). These reach their conclusion in the finale, "The Judgment."

"All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town." -- Leo Tolstoy
Two of today's hottest shows -- Tracker and Reacher -- are keeping the tradition of the "traveling stranger" alive and well by providing comfort viewing with a kick.
There has always been room on television for the archetype of the helpful loner traveling from town to town.
In the 1960s, James Garner's Maverick featured a wisecracking cowboy poker player with a heart of gold.
That show's campy cousin, The Wild, Wild West, had two Secret Service agents in tight trousers solving cross-country crimes from a swanky steam engine (the original Airstream?).
In the 1970s, The Incredible Hulk put a contemporary spin on the traveling stranger theme, complete with that decade's anxiety over nuclear power.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe really gives us a novelty that took forever for comic book movies to fully embrace. The idea of superhero properties crossing over and building to a much wider world is something that’s in the DNA of the source material. Outside of the Lou Ferrigno Hulk rubbing elbows with half-realized versions of Thor and Daredevil, it’s something that we never truly got to see until Nick Fury stopped by Tony Stark’s house after the Iron Man credits. Before that, the closest thing we had was J. Jonah Jameson referencing the existence of Doctor Strange. Even their rivals at DC Comics couldn’t give us more than a Superman reference in Batman and Robin or a Batman and Robin reference in Steel.
But we did have some close calls over the decades. Some closer than others. Movies and sequels that would have brought together various...

Decades before superhero audiences had Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo play live-action Hulk, Bill Bixby played Hulk’s humanoid alter ego Dr. David Banner (changed from the comic’s Dr. Bruce Banner). Since CGI quality wasn’t as good as it is today, two actors had to play Dr. David Banner and Hulk. Bixby first appeared as Dr. David Banner in the TV series The Incredible Hulk, reprising the role in three TV movies with better CGI effects. Bixby was born Wilfred Bailey Everett Bixby III on January 22, 1934, in San Francisco, California. He was an actor, game-show panelist, director, and producer.

Long ago, before the Marvel Cinematic Universe's gargantuan interconnecting list of films and Disney+ shows, there existed Universal Television's "The Incredible Hulk" series. Although it seems quaint in comparison to today's mega-budget superhero fare, Kenneth Johnson's science-fiction drama hybrid was a major ratings hit and was one of the earliest success stories regarding a live-action comic book adaptation. The popularity of the series, as well as the strange legal tension between Marvel Comics and its licensing partners, is why Stan Lee rushed to create a She-Hulk before Johnson could.
In the '70s, Marvel Comics had sold the rights to a handful of its characters to the separate company of Universal Television. Besides the Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Namor, and the Human Torch were also on the studio's bracket. Johnson, who had already found success with Universal's "The Bionic Woman," initially wasn't interested in adapting any of these...

Films and television shows based on comic books are ubiquitous nowadays. In the 1970s, however, superhero fare wasn't exactly the drama mine it is now. We had the light and entertaining "Wonder Woman" TV series with Lynda Carter, and the campy and comedic "Batman" series with Adam West was in the rearview mirror. Comics were still mostly for kids, and we were years away from seeing Michael Keaton dramatically don the Batsuit. The genre wasn't taken particularly seriously.
In the mid-1970s, Universal got the rights to some of Stan Lee's Marvel comic book characters, including the Hulk. Though the resulting TV series "The Incredible Hulk" produced a two-hour pilot and had five subsequent seasons, not everyone was on board with the idea of a show about a man who gets mad and turns into a hulking green dude. Series writer, producer, and creator Kenneth Johnson wasn't interested at all at first,...

Nothing beats a good villain theme. Yet despite being the world's dominant media franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn't produced many memorable character themes (I'll defer an explanation to Every Frame a Painting), and there are even fewer villains with a signature leitmotif.
That doesn't mean they don't have unofficial villain songs, though. In a recent interview for the upcoming issue of Total Film, which hits shelves next Thursday, Jonathan Majors revealed he brought his own theme for Kang the Conqueror to the set of "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." While director Peyton Reed and star Paul Rudd were listening to '80s New Romantic bands, Majors was getting into the mindset of a conqueror with the rap song "9mm." A track on David Banner's 2008 album "The Greatest Story Ever Told," the song features Akon, Lil Wayne, and Snoop Dogg.

The Incredible Hulk, created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1962, is a character born more from universal monster movies and 1950s sci-fi than more modern notions of complex, interlaced comic book lore. In the original comic books, a spindly physicist named Bruce Banner was exposed to a strange type of radiation while saving a soldier from a nuclear bomb test. Rather than killing him, the radiation mutated his body into that of a bulky, over-muscled brute. He eventually shrunk back to his normal size, but Bruce eventually found that whenever he got angry, he would transform back into an unstoppable radioactive ogre. Indeed, he was so angry, he couldn't speak or think clearly.
The Hulk became one of the more popular characters in a new wave of Marvel Comics that debuted in the 1960s. He was popular enough to be included in the Avengers, a mash-up superhero team comic...

Once the Bruno of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Louis Leterrier's "The Incredible Hulk" has seen its reputation slowly rehabilitated in recent years. The 2008 film remains the first and only movie to feature Edward Norton as wayward scientist Bruce Banner, as well as The Other Guy's lone solo outing in the MCU under the terms of Marvel Studios' complicated deal with Universal for the Hulk screen rights. 14 years later, it remains the McU's lowest-grossing release at the box office, though it no longer holds the worst critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Progress!
Norton's creative clashes with Marvel Studios infamously led to them parting ways after "The Incredible Hulk," with Mark Ruffalo taking over the titular role starting in 2012's "The Avengers." That and the movie's middling financial performance a mere month after "Iron Man" rocked the scene were all the reasons the House of Ideas needed to ignore Leterrier's Hulk adventure for years.

Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law kicked off its season finale with a cold open that uncannily recreated the opening credits for TV’s The Incredible Hulk, which ran for five seasons on CBS and starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.
Part of the reason the homage was so retro-perfect was because actual elements from the original series were incorporated into the filmmaking process.

This article contains She-Hulk finale spoilers
The green gloves were off in the She-Hulk finale, and after nine episodes of toxic masculinity, twerking with Megan Thee Stallion, and a lot of waiting for Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to arrive, it all culminated in this. October 13’s “Whose Show Is This?” delivered some of the wildest scenes to grace the MCU, but when we weren’t busy breaking the already broken fourth wall, we were canonizing forgotten Hulks.
It’s easy to forget that there have been a lot of actors who’ve played the mean, green, fighting machine. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe alone, there’s been Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk, who replaced Edward Norton’s brief stint from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk movie.

Major spoilers ahead for "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law."
"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" finally did what some of us have been waiting for since the series was first announced: We got our nod to the 1970s "The Incredible Hulk" TV series! In a finale that stuck the landing in a way that many Marvel Disney+ shows haven't been able to manage, this was an extra treat!
I have only the vaguest memories of the 1970s show, other than loving it as a tiny person and thinking that star Bill Bixby was just the coolest. However, I definitely remember the opening sequence for the show, which had its two-hour TV movie premiere in 1977 and ran for 80 episodes beginning in 1978. It had a sort of sad tone, following Bill Bixby's Dr. David Banner, who had been researching how people get superhuman abilities sometimes when they're under great duress.

Perhaps the most famous show from this era was "The Incredible Hulk," which ran on CBS from 1978 to 1982. Starring Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the titular gamma-radiating monster, the show centered around Banner as he traveled around the United States, helping those in need despite his dangerous secret.

Peacock has shared the first look at its new upcoming comedy series “Killing It,” streaming this April.
Created by “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” producers Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, “Killing It” stars Craig Robinson as Craig, a man who competes in a state-sponsored python hunt in his quest to achieve the American Dream. The series co-stars Stephanie Nogueras as Craig’s ex-wife Camille, Jet Miller as his pre-teen daughter Vanessa and Rell Battle as his younger brother Isaiah. Claudia O’Doherty, Scott Macarthur and Wyatt Walter round out the cast.
“We love all the ambitious, challenging, thematically-rich series that populate the current peak-tv landscape,” said Goor in a statement. “We also love jokes. So, we tried to make a show that could deliver both. We wanted ‘Killing It’ to explore America’s quasi-religious obsession with entrepreneurship and wealth, and we also wanted it to be funny. Really, really funny. Plus, we wanted it to have big snakes.

Because Marvel's Hulk has such a storied history as a live-action television character, you might be left wondering if Disney+ was going to honor that tradition with their forthcoming series "She-Hulk." Lou Ferrigno played Bruce/David Banner's alter ego in green make-up and a fright wig from 1978 to 1982 on CBS' "The Incredible Hulk," and then later in three made-for-tv movies from 1988 to 1990. Now "She-Hulk" star Tatiana Maslany ("Orphan Black") has told the Scott Hasn't Seen podcast (via The Direct) that her portrayal of the Hulked-out version of Bruce Banner's cousin and lawyer Jennifer Walters will indeed be 100% computer generated, as mandated by modern-day movie standards:

Hey, fellow "Empire" fans. If you tuned in to try to watch the brand new episode 5 of this current season 6 this past Tuesday night, October 29, 2019, you were most likely quite disappointed to see that it wasn't on. It had already been canceled the week prior to that on October 22, 2019. The reason was because Fox was doing Live coverage of the 2019 Major League Baseball World Series between the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals. They played the best 4 out of 7 games. So, it eventually got pushed to a Game 6, which took place right when Empire was supposed to air on October 29, 2019. After that, the series got pushed to a maximum 7th game the following night, October 30,2019. The good news is that the World Series is completely over now. The Washington Nationals won the series for anyone out there who may give a damn. But, we know what you guys give a damn about,...

As you all know, Lou Ferrigno played The Hulk in the classic 1978 series The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby, who portrayed Dr. David Banner. I loved that show! I watched it all the time as a kid! It’s a show I should revisit again soon because it’s been a very, very long time since I’ve watched it.
Anyway, for those of you who might have wondered what Ferrigno thinks of Mark Ruffalo’s version of The Hulk, he recently shared his thoughts at Montreal Comic Con where he revealed that he can’t take Ruffalo’s version of The Hulk/Bruce Banner seriously. He’s just not a fan of how Marvel Studios is treating the character:
“Mark is a wonderful actor. But we’ve had three different actors — we’ve had Eric Bana, Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo. I like Bill Bixby the best, I like Edward Norton.

It took Montero Hill a few tries to perfect the art of going viral.
“I was doing Facebook comedy videos, then I moved over to Instagram, and then I hopped on Twitter,” the 19-year-old says. “That is where I really was a master. That was the first place where I could go viral.”
But hardly the last: Rap-singing as Lil Nas X, Hill’s latest viral feat is more far-reaching. His song “Old Town Road” — defiant and whimsical, bottom-heavy and banjo-splattered — continues to snowball, reaching Number 15 on the Hot 100 this week.

About seven years ago, stories about “Bob Dylan’s Rapping Grandson” flooded the internet. Pablo Dylan — the child of Bob’s oldest son, Jesse — was just 15 at the time and he was trying to promote his new mixtape. “My grandfather, I consider him the Jay-z of his time,” he said, in comments that ricocheted all over the web. “I love him to death.” It was a rare breach of the unofficial Dylan family code of silence, and the first time a member of the clan tried to make a go...

Hey, remember back in 1977 when Marvel made a little TV show called The Incredible Hulk and used 2 actors for the role with Bill Bixby playing David Banner and Lou Ferrigno playing his alter ego The Incredible Hulk?!?! Whaddya mean you weren't born yet? Ok well yeah they did that then and now DC is copying that 2 actor formula with Swamp Thing as they cast Andy Bean & Derek Mears to play the two halves of the hero.
Andy Bean will play the role of Alec Holland. In the comics Alec a brilliant scientist who invents a bio-restorative formula capable of solving the worlds food shortage problems, but is attacked by thugs working for Natahn Ellery the leader of the criminal organization, The Conclave. Alec is knocked out and the thugs set bombs in his lab, as Alec awakes the bombs go of and and Alec is engulfed in flames and just...

The recent crop of hit Netflix shows aren’t the first time Marvel has taken its heroes to the small screen. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Blade and even knock-off-ish X-Men have had a go before the current golden age. Here are all the Marvel shows you’ve seen and a few you might not have, ranked from goofiest pajama costumes to best character-driven dramas.
18. “The Amazing Spider-Man” (1977-79)
A 1977 attempt at a live-action “Spider-Man” is a fun throwback — but in a purely ironic way because Peter Parker’s wall-crawling “special effects” are pretty cringe-worthy. Watching Spider-Man fight guys using extremely hokey choreography gives the whole thing a pretty goofy vibe.
17. “Spidey Super Stories” (1974-1977)
Some days, Spider-Man takes on some super-boring villains. He goes up against The Prankster (a school principal who keeps pranking his students) and The Spoiler (who just likes to everyday things for people) in these goofy...

Em: I really loved him as McGee. I thought he was terrific. Did he enjoy playing the role?
Kj: Yeah, he did. But he was frustrated sometimes and he would say to me, “How many times can I say that I’m looking for a hulking, green creature?” So, we tried to really write episodes where he had meaningful stuff to do.
Em: Yeah, that was actually my next question because the character changed a bit. He was a little unlikeable in the first season; like a weasel.

#sweatysundays Video by my girl @robinantin A video posted by Drew Barrymore (@drewbarrymore) on Aug 28, 2016 at 1:01pm Pdt Drew Barrymore knows the power of a little sweat session, and that's exactly what the actress did in a dance class on Sunday. Drew shared a video to Instagram of herself busting a move with the group to David Banner's "Play," writing, "#sweatysundays Video by my girl @robinantin." Robin, a well-known choreographer and founder of The Pussycat Dolls, may have had some trouble while filming (you'll have to cock your head to the side for a bit), but Drew's impressive dance skills shine through. Just another reason to love her, as far as we're concerned.

Sneak Peek Marvel's first live-action 'Thor' in the 1988 TV movie, "The Incredible Hulk Returns", written by Stan Lee and Nicholas Corea, produced by New World and distributed by NBC as a 'backdoor pilot' for a potential "Thor" television series:
Thor's appearance differed from the Marvel Comics character created by Lee and co-plotter/illustrator Jack Kirby, resembling a more realistic and divine version of the 'Norse God of Thunder' but following the comic book in that he is sent to earth to learn humility, the first and only time that magical, supernatural or otherworldly elements have been used in the universe of the "Incredible Hulk" TV series.
'Thor' was played by Eric Allan Kramer and 'Dr. Donald Blake' by Steve Levitt. In this version Blake does not become Thor, who is a separate character. By holding Thor's hammer 'Mjolnir' and shouting "Odin!" Blake can summon the Viking Warrior to help him.

If Lil Wayne doesn't know what the word "ironic" means, he does now ... he's being sued by a rapper for not forking over royalties ... which is exactly his gripe with Birdman. Rapper David Banner claims he signed a contract in 2008 with Wayne's Young Money Records to produce two songs for Wayne -- "La La" and "Pussy Monster" -- featured on "Tha Carter III." Banner claims Young Money told him in 2012 he was owed $138,787.19 in royalties...

At the time of writing, Marvel have not yet confirmed a third standalone Hulk movie, but without giving anything away, the closing events of Avengers: Age of Ultron definitely leave that door wide open. With that in mind, it seems like the perfect time to re-appraise ol' greenskin's first big screen outing, Ang Lee's multi-million dollar psychodrama, Hulk.
Released in 2003, Hulk took a total of $132.2 million at the Us box office, just short of its reputed £137 million budget. Though it eventually took over $245 million worldwide, it was perceived as a flop, significantly under-performing compared to the likes of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man or Bryan Singer's X-Men movies. Hulk not box-office Smash, in other words. Critics weren't overly kind either – it earned 62% on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, indicating decidedly mixed reviews albeit with a positive slant.

Chicago – “The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” is another overstuffed, action packed CGI addled slugfest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. but the effects are exhausting instead of exhilarating. What has set the Avengers apart is the great interplay between the characters – and when the movie stops to take a breath, those relationships shine through.
But too often Writer Director Joss Whedon’s quiet moments get pushed aside for another increasingly numbing destructive spectacle.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
Trouble begins right away with The Avengers in mid mission taking down one of the last Hydra baddies. They trade quips like the gang from “Oceans 11,” but the effects surrounding them are just big, loud and ordinary.
Once they recover Loki’s scepter – which contains one of the building blocks of the Marvel Universe – Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. David Banner (Mark Ruffalo) begin fiddling around with it. Stark, still scarred by the events of the first Avengers film,...

Last week, I published the first two of the interviews I did on “The Americans” set in December, with producers Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields , and with actress Holly Taylor. Now it’s time for one of the show’s two leads, as charming Welshman(*) Matthew Rhys and I talked about where Philip’s head is at in season 3, the pros and cons of so much wig work, why Keri Russell is referred to on set as “The Hulk,” how “The A-Team” helped inform his performance as Philip, and more. (*) My biggest regret about this interview? That I turned off the recorder right before FX’s Lana Kim prompted Rhys to share a memory of one of his first American jobs, as the killer in the final “Columbo” movie. This involved him doing a dead-on Peter Falk impression as he recalled that Falk wanted him to play the killer as a Cockney gangster,...
