"Incredible Hulk" fans should no doubt be pleased with the release of seasons 3 and 4 on DVD.

The story of "The Incredible Hulk" is simple. Scientist David Banner is in search of a cure that will step his "hulk outs." Seeing as how his transformations cause a scene wherever they occur, Banner is forced to drift from town to town so that he won't be caught or found out by the police or press.

Let's face it, the strong suit of "The Incredible Hulk" isn't the writing, it's the action. The drawn-out preachy after school special stories about illnesses, children, and crime can be seen on any old TV program. The action, however, is unique for a television show. Seeing the Hulk tossing people and breaking every object known to man never fails to entertain. Of course, the action in the show would never be convincing had it not been for charismatic actor Lou Ferrigno. He truly makes the iconic Marvel comics character his own, which is no doubt why audiences adored the show when it aired. It's also worth noting that Ferrigno actually has a heatfelt speaking role in the season 4 episode "King Of The Beach."

Not to be outdone by Ferrigno is actor Bill Bixby who plays David Banner. Bixby really connects with the audience mainly because he's a person just like you and me. The only difference is he is plagued by having another persona that he can't get rid of. Part of the reason people tuned into the show was to see if Banner would ever be normal again. Audiences wanted Banner to have a normal, non-Hulk life.

My one major complaint, besides the corny stories that lack editing, is that the series did not incorporate more story arcs and characters from the comic series. Rather than making up throwaway, un-original plots like having Hulk at a rock concert or a costume ball, the writers could have delved into many of the comics rich storylines that would have pleased fans and casual fans alike. Also, I really felt the Hulk should have been more powerful than he was on the show, but I'm willing to forgive that as the creative team was working with a limited budget.

As for the episodes, they are predictably hit-and-miss. My personal favorites include "The Most Dangerous Game" like episode "The Snare," the epic "Prometheus 1 and 2," and "My Favorite Magician" which stars Ray Walston and Scatman Crothers.
