The first season episode of the Incredible Hulk, “Never Give a Trucker an Even Break” was a great episode that one of the greatest directors of all time, Steven Spielberg hated. Why did Spielberg hate it? The episode used footage from Spielberg’s TV movie the Duel which he made him angry, and you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. He couldn’t do anything about it though, since, Universal owned both the Hulk TV show and “The Duel” starring Dennis Weaver.   He did learn something though. After that he always insisted a clause be in his contracts to protect his movies from being used as stock footage. Regardless, of Spielberg’s feelings toward the episode, it was one of the best of the series. The scenes in question are related to the red Plymouth shown in the episode and the old beat up big rig truck. On the movie Dennis Weaver is harassed by a truck driver the entire movie and pretty much scared out of his mind.  Duel originally aired as a part of the ABC Movie of the Week...

TV superhero fan-made fight featuring the Incredible Hulk and the Six Million Dollar Man. This is the fight we all wanted growing up as kids in the 70's and 80's. It could have been bigger than the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Bigfoot fight!

The operation to save his life and rebuild him with super strong bionic limbs cost 6 million dollars. Steve was given a bionic eye that could zoom in images from great distances. His right arm and both legs were replaced with bionic limbs. He could run at speeds over 60 miles per hour. His arm and legs were now super strong powered by nuclear energy. The show used slow motion effects to illustrate the Bionic Man’s speed as well as the speeding up the film.  The famous  dit dit dit sound used to represent Steve’s strength was used first  in the season one episode “Day of the Robot” and was first used to signify a ...

Lou Ferrigno the Incredible Hulk TV Star Anybody that grew up in the 70’s and owned a television knows who Lou Ferrigno is and so does anybody who ever picked up a muscle magazine back in the day with hopes of becoming their own version of the Incredible Hulk.  In the video above there's plenty of Hulk facts and trivia to enjoy.

In this video I discuss some of my shocking childhood memories of the 70s that you may or may not share and remember. The 70s were a wild time filled with fun and a lot fewer rules than what we have today. Some of the wild changes from the 1970's to today can be shocking and quite jarring like the crazy amount people smoked back then compared to today, the sheer lack of entertainment options, cigarettes and trash everywhere and yet somehow it all seemed so much more fun back then. When I was a kid, television consisted of 4 channels which had the big three networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, and then there was PBS for moments of utter desperation. I remember before I was even old enough to go to school waking up on a typical day to watch Sesame Street and the Electric Company.
