In a not-so-surprising announcement that was made today, Universal revealed the upcoming DVD release of "The Incredible Hulk: The Original Television Premiere".
This disc will feature the original "2 hour" pilot telefilm for the series, originally aired by CBS on Nov. 4, 1977. With commercials now removed, expect a running time of 1 hour, 35 minutes for the gamma ray exposé.
But wait, there's more! As a special bonus, Universal is adding in the 2-part second season debut, "Married" (known on some previous VHS releases as "The Bride of the Incredible Hulk"). Doctor Banner travels to Hawaii, seeking the help of a pretty psychiatrist...and gets much more than he bargains for!
To make the offer completely irresistable, Universal ups the ante by adding a sneak peak of the new Ang Lee production, plus a mail-in rebate coupon good to see the new film for free anytime before Independance Day weekend is over.
The DVD lists for just $19.98, and releases on June 3rd - which is 17 days prior to the U.S. release of the new feature film. Don't miss this disc, 'cause that will make us angry. You wouldn't like us when we're angry.
