No, Mark, you're from an age that had the best of everything. I'm 45 years old. I find it so telling, The Incredible Hulk series, is nearly 50 years old and yet. has an emotionally connection and realism, today's modern MCU has only rarely come close to. Jack Colvin is often overlooked but, a lead actor or actress, is ONLY as good as their co stars. And he had the same untouchable class Bixby had which is irreplacable. If Bixby and Lou represented the duality of Banner and the Hulk. McGee represented the every day person. I believe this show would work even now. McGee's character could be updated to be a Coast to Coast presenter or a journalist for alternative media outlet? It would be the same idea of McGee chasing the Hulk/Banner, just the technology used to report it, would be changed. A part from that - it would be much the same. And, yes Lou would be the Hulk except shown with CGI. Or a mixture of old fashioned effects and CGI. But, nothing can or will replace this masterclass. David
Jack Colvin was a great actor... Mcgee wasn't an easy part to play, but he played it really well and almost caught Banner/ the Hulk on a few occasions. Colvin was a strong actor who gave depth to the part of mcgee. But It would have been great if there had been a final confrontation between Banner and MCGee where McGee finds out Banner is the Hulk. 😮
@elizabethgalligan1805 - I agree with you and I also felt the same way about a lack of resolution involving the final moment(s) between "Jack McGee" and "David Banner/The Hulk" in the final TV movie of "The Death of The Incredible Hulk" as well. After all, I believe that actor Jack Colvin was on the verge of dying and was unavailable, unfortunately, for the final TV movie anyway. IF you need to know about what happened to Jack Colvin, among other things, try looking him up on Wikipedia at some point.
It was interesting to see the way McGee's character had changed throughout the series. At first McGee seemed like an over eager zealot (almost evil in hunting for Banner and the Hulk) then he starts to become more sympathetic and understanding of both Banner and the Hulk. Of course, he still remained obsessed with finding them.
He seemed to grow a little more sympathetic, he saved the Hulk/Banner once from the mercenary that wanted to kill him, though I wonder if that bazooka would have killed the Hulk, even the TV Hulk of 1981. But ultimately, even during the last year of the series, McGee made it very clear he wanted to capture John/the Hulk to get out of the National Register, get a more respectable column back, and he really didn't care what happened to John/Hulk after that. So even the last year, McGee was still a douchebag, just a douchebag with an occasional conscious/heart.
😢😢😢😢I really didn't like Mr McGee he was not a nice person, always trying to hunt David down and to kill him or get some questions out of him, I really wish that he would had left David alone.😢😢
He may have been a thorn in David's side but he was a good antagonist, a bit more interesting than General Ross imo. I really wish Jack got to find out who the Hulk was in Death of the Incredible Hulk, it would've been a great way for Jack to get closure. apparently Jack Colvin had a stroke sometime after the Hulk Returns and taught acting classes until his death in 2005.
28:26 I remember this actor, that's John Marley, he made a role in the 1972 Academy Award winning movie "The Godfather" he died on May 22nd, 1984 following the open-heart surgery
Years ago, there was an apparent final script floating around on the internet purporting to be from the final hulk episode that never got filmed. Kenneth Johnson said he wanted to do a grand finale where McGee catches Banner and Banner finds peace from that giant green yak wig. Unfortunately the studio nitwits pulled the show of the air before it could happen (even though ratings were still good). Jack Colvin had health issues I think after "The Return of the Hulk" and of course Bill Bixby passed before anything more could be done. There is only Ferrigno left now. The apparent script floating around, if real, mentioned about David getting caught up in a Mafia issue with McGee, once McGee finds out its Banner, he realises how he has ruined Banners life and helps him. Theres was even a complete reveal in Court - with David Banner finally being cured at the end. Maybe once AI gets better, Elon Musk can create the final using his Richard Pryors Superman III Super AI Computer.
The Incredible Hulk, CHIPS, Hart to Hart, 6 Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, Air Wolf, Kit with David Hasselhoff (can't remember name of show), The Greatest American Hero, Dukes of Hazard, Monkey Magic and so on and so on! Simple wonderful days for a young me.
I enjoyed how Banner and his dad reconciled and seemed to heal the rifts in their relationship. His father's eyes convey an understanding that he may never see his son again.
I love this show. Three things struck me while watching it: the cost of new clothing after every metamorphosis must cost Banner a lot; and Banner seems to get in far more scrapes and fights than the ordinary man; McGee is patterned after Captain Ahab pursuing Moby Dick.
I hated that he just somehow knew that Dell fryes creature wasn't HIS hulk. Just nope, guy I'm looking for is younger. So he HAD to know it was banner or he wouldn't have said dell was too old
@@michaelmclaren1333 This one I didn't find too unbelievable. McGee had spent about a week with John Doe, he could tell John was man in his 30s or 40s with brown hair and a youthful voice, not a much older man in his 70s, 80s or whatever. Dell was at least late 60s at the youngest. Plus look at Dell's flimsy creature, he has height and that's it. McGee could easily recognize this wasn't HIS well built Hulk.
It's sad that the show didn't have a proper finale to the Jack vs. David storyline, either in the series or the later TV movies; unfortunately Jack Colvin's health forced him to retire after the second TV movie. OTOH credit to the show for departing from its usual format to do a creative Jack McGee POV story the time Bill Bixby was absent from an episode.
So many great comments: I was 11 when The Incredible Hulk came to television - Lou was so Big you could even get to see him in real life - I’m 58 so I met him in Rhode Island at a Comic Con - my first time and my body building Idol - Thank you All for making that possible
Banner knew that he'd be turned into a lab rat, experimented on and imprisoned, if found out. That's why he ran. McGee probably knew it too but put his journalistic quest ahead of ethical considerations.
How did the comics resolve this issue? In the real world, TV Hulk/Banner is probably what would have happened, all kinds of experiments and/or hunted to death. But in the comics, I know General Ross hunted the Hulk, but what about Banner? His secret is out in the open eventually.
I can't believe that David never knew that Mcgee was responsible for the explosion and the death of David's partner. Nor did Mcgee knew he had done it. I don't even know if David's family ever found out that David was still alive.
I couldn't believe that McGee was never on The Death of the Incredible Hulk. If he was, he would've witnessed the Hulk and David Banner are both one and realized he was responsible for the explosion and the death of Banner's colleague.
I always loved the episode, where Ester Rolle saw The Hulk. Showed she couldn't be typecast as Florida Evans. My wife and I met Lou, in 2022. Very nice to the both of us.
I've met him before too. He was nice and shook my hand but I wanted my picture taken with him but he wouldn't do it unless you bought something off of his table which I thought was a bit ridiculous. I didn't have any money on me to buy anything and he only took cash. I was really disappointed.
Tranquilize me Tranquilize you 😂 The part when Mr McGee almost sledged , The hulk in the back with that hammer, Lol,He then turned around like hit me now 😂, And Let's talk about Esther Role,an Amazing actress,I think the hulk was checking her out,he liked what he saw,a beautiful woman 😀 And Once again he saves Mr McGee, my take if he would have tried to be an Advocate for David as a journalist,then his story would have been a national hit , David and The hulk was convinced that Mr McGee was a Threat no matter what, by involving the law ,I enjoyed the whole show 🎊😊
You’d think as a reporter he’d be better with facts lol! He heard an explosion, Dr Banner disappeared and he saw a Large Hulking creature with green skin and Incredible strength carry a dying woman from the flames. Mighty presumptuous to assume what caused the fire, where Dr Banner disappeared to and what killed the woman.
I have to complement the people on this channel for editing and compiling all the moments depicted from “Proof Positive”; and how well it looks. The next step has to be expanding moments from “Interview With The Hulk” in the same way you did here with “Proof Positive”.
Despite of the rampages, the Incredible Hulk usually does good for the people David Banner (Bill Bixby) encounters in his travels. Each episode inevitably ends with Banner back on the road, fearful that the Hulk's appearances will bring unwanted scrutiny from the authorities and the ever-persistent Jack McGee (Jack Colvin), who became obsessively pursuing the mysterious creature across the country, both to prevent further violence and to bring legitimacy to his story.
What was really weird was how Banner got his ass kicked in every town he went to. Why not just lay low and stay away from bad people? Granted I know the kind of work he did, he basically met "lower class" folks doing those menial jobs, but he still could have avoided trouble.
It's McGee's fault that Elaina Marks was killed. It frustrates me that we never got a conclusion to the story where he learns from Banner what really happened that night
Jack Mcgee should of recognized David Banners voice from the get go! Especially in those made for 3 TV Incredible Hulk returns, The Trial of the Incredible Hulk and Death of the Incredible Hulk as well! That would of gave a great clos🎉ure to Jack Mcgee to be able to finally find the creature and David Banner s identity at the same time!
To be fair it’s been what like a year ? In story since Banners death Jack isn’t gonna remember what he sounded like especially cause they barely talked only really had 3 or 4 conversations
This is absolutely my favorite TV Show. I still enjoy these clips today, thanks to RUclips and Facebook. I just realized something though-- McGee always claims the Hulk killed two people, despite all the good things he's witnessed the Hulk do. He later learned the Hulk is actually a man who transforms, but doesn't know who. I understand why Banner's instinct is avoid McGee and the police until he had cure/control the Hulk, BUT... McGee and Banner are outside the lab when Banner says the classic "Don't Make Me Angry!" Then the lab explodes with Elaina Marks trapped inside. So if Banner simply confesses he's the Hulk, if would establish he was OUTSIDE the lab and NOT the Hulk when the explosion hit. The Hulk certainly didn't kill Banner, and the Hulk didn't cause the explosion. So even if they took Banner to Court, those two facts would protect him!
I am convinced this reporter was filthy rich. Who else could risk their job and roam around looking for one guy/creator? I also think he was single or his wife definitely left him because of this.
I love the 1977 pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk and the attached TV series thereafter. I was just 5 years when the pilot was first telecast on TV. I now realize that it was Jack Colvin’s journalist character Jack McGee who gave the “creature” as he verbally called it, the sobriquet The Incredible Hulk through the National Enquirer tabloid that he wrote for. Got the whole series on dvd boxset for occasional random pleasure viewing

Mi serie favorita de todos los tiempos, me gustaría ver todos los capítulos completos TODOS.👍👍👍. Ninguna serie de ahora me gusta ni Netflix,ni todas esas plataformas de hoy. Solo l serie The incredible HULK 1977 -1982 The Best 👍👍👍.
Even though this show had some corny moments. The actors really played these characters spot on. You felt for Mr McGee because all he wanted to do is prove he wasn't crazy. He had a desperation to expose the Hulk because he was so tired of being looked at as a loser. I dont think they will ever make a Hulk movie with this type of depth.
Ya it would hve added a twist to the series or one of the tv movies i hve all 5 seasons,and 2 of the tv movies, and the ultimate tv collection,i dont hve the last one because the death of the incredible hulk wss depressing !
I love how everyone in this series called the Hulk a "creature" while he just looked like a very tall, muscular male bodybuilder albeit with green skin. Of course this was back in the late 70s, early 80s when very muscular male bodybuilders were not very common.
this was good. i was hopin gthey would show the one where the hulk was in a gov't installation and almost held hmi but mcghee tried explainign the creature and so forth. he has an interesting love hate relationshp wit it
Did reporters in the 1970s always do field work in a suit and tie? Yes modern TV reporters still do anchor desk work for TV in a suit and tie, but actual field work? Plus, McGee worked for a tabloid newspaper, not even a legit respectable paper. Banner actually dresses like a normal person for the 1970s here when he's still "Dr. Banner" at the Culver Institute and not a homeless wanderer. So does Dr. Elaina Marks, they both dress casual. He's in a denim shirt, jeans and sneakers, not in a funny lab coat all the time. If this was made in the 1950s, you can bet Banner would be in a suit, tie, fedora hat, or a lab coat. But McGee is always, always in a suit and tie. This is one area where I felt the show could have tried to be more realistic, but I don't know. Maybe even junk tabloid reporters in the 1970s always did field work in a suit, tie and dress shoes? When I see archival TV footage of reporters "on the scene" from the 70s, they are usually dressed quite proper, today that's usually only reserved for anchor desk work, not field reporters. I know it gave McGee an air of credibility and seriousness, but who the hell wants to walk around in a suit and tie all day chasing the Hulk?
Bill Bixby was an awesome actor! The Magician was a fun series he did as well. Yeah, I'm old...😆

There's an unwritten rule with the Hulk: DON'T provoke him.
Yeah even if McGee did hit Hulk with the that hammer he wouldn't even feel it not even a little if would probably bounce off him to McGee
16:54 Something's wrong with the scale here. Look how little height difference there is between the Hulk and this woman!
I don’t know how tall Esther Rolle was, but Lou Ferrigno was 6’5” at the time. My guess is she was about 5’5” or 5’6”.
Both lu farigno and Bill Bixby were my childhood heros 😊💯
The woman that Jack was talking too at the beginning reminds me of some one, She played on something else, a Tv series just cannot remember
She was on Star Trek The Next Generation. She was the doctor who replaced Gates McFadden.
@@jogordon1530 Ok she just looks 100% better on this, 2nd season of the STNG was the worst of them all, the only one that I did like her in was the one Data was playing Sherlock Holmes
@@altha-rf1et Yes when Moriarty held her captive!
The bathroom scene, Reminds me of The Shining, Jack Nicholson breaking in and says Hunny lm home 😂
R.I.P bill you will always be banner
It was the 70s! He could’ve gotten a $200 car and not had to walk everywhere!
Classic Moby Dick story. The chase after the Hulk defines McGee whether it’s real or not.
I work for a newspaper company in Lacrosse Wisconsin before. All them rollers from the press are actually the actual size. And those roses said 500 lbs. That was rules of paper for the newspaper. And yes they are 500 or more pounds of peace
Mi serie favorita de todos los tiempos, me gustaría ver todos los capítulos completos TODOS.👍👍👍.
Ninguna serie de ahora me gusta ni Netflix,ni todas esas plataformas de hoy. Solo l serie The incredible HULK 1977 -1982 The Best 👍👍👍.
Who would win? 1987 predator or this Hulk?
She was a knockout
Even though this show had some corny moments. The actors really played these characters spot on. You felt for Mr McGee because all he wanted to do is prove he wasn't crazy.
He had a desperation to expose the Hulk because he was so tired of being looked at as a loser. I dont think they will ever make a Hulk movie with this type of depth.
Ya it would hve added a twist to the series or one of the tv movies i hve all 5 seasons,and 2 of the tv movies, and the ultimate tv collection,i dont hve the last one because the death of the incredible hulk wss depressing !

For a moment....I thought David was having a 747 flashback.
Amei rever esse compacto...
It's ashamed that Hulk could've had his cousin in on that series. They may have intro She-Hulk then.
Theres still a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the creature.
I love how everyone in this series called the Hulk a "creature" while he just looked like a very tall, muscular male bodybuilder albeit with green skin. Of course this was back in the late 70s, early 80s when very muscular male bodybuilders were not very common.
this was my friday night.
RIP Jack Mcgee who played by Jack Colvin .
this was good. i was hopin gthey would show the one where the hulk was in a gov't installation and almost held hmi but mcghee tried explainign the creature and so forth. he has an interesting love hate relationshp wit it
Did reporters in the 1970s always do field work in a suit and tie? Yes modern TV reporters still do anchor desk work for TV in a suit and tie, but actual field work? Plus, McGee worked for a tabloid newspaper, not even a legit respectable paper. Banner actually dresses like a normal person for the 1970s here when he's still "Dr. Banner" at the Culver Institute and not a homeless wanderer. So does Dr. Elaina Marks, they both dress casual. He's in a denim shirt, jeans and sneakers, not in a funny lab coat all the time. If this was made in the 1950s, you can bet Banner would be in a suit, tie, fedora hat, or a lab coat. But McGee is always, always in a suit and tie. This is one area where I felt the show could have tried to be more realistic, but I don't know. Maybe even junk tabloid reporters in the 1970s always did field work in a suit, tie and dress shoes? When I see archival TV footage of reporters "on the scene" from the 70s, they are usually dressed quite proper, today that's usually only reserved for anchor desk work, not field reporters. I know it gave McGee an air of credibility and seriousness, but who the hell wants to walk around in a suit and tie all day chasing the Hulk?
If only marvel could shoot such great shows now, with modern budgets...
McGee couldn't recognize Banner, the voice, the face, even with the blindfold on?
Jack Colvin was the Steve Buscemi of the 1970's.
Never realized it until now its magee who killed Elaina he chose to blame the hulk
Nobodies haven't catch him while running like slow motions
They just Don t make great tv shows like thus anymore.
Its the writers fault lol
