Don't Make Author Pat Jankiewicz Angry You Wouldn't Like Him When He's Angry

Renowned TV expert Pat Jankiewicz takes me on a guided tour of the groundbreaking The Incredible Hulk TV series (1977 - 1982) starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno

My guest, Pat Jankiewicz and I discuss:

• Our shared Michigan roots!
• His TV companion book to The Incredible Hulk TV series: You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry: A Hulk Companion
• The deep approach to storytelling that grounded the series and made it the flagship Marvel show that led the way for everything that followed
• Ted Cassidy's role as the opening show narrator
• The various actors that played Banner after Bill Bixby
• Eric Allen Kramer - the original Thor
• Kenneth Johnson's negotiations with Stan Lee on proposed character changes for the show
• Others auditioned for the Hulk and the actor that originally landed the role (not Lou!)
• Bill Bixby's divorce and losing his son during the run of the show
• The background of 'The Lonely Man' theme
• Why the original series ended
• What brought the Hulk back
• The She-Hulk that could have been
