The Incredible Hulk – The Complete First Season hulk video – Cheryl E. Lanning –
Bought for my mentally handicapped sister. And she watched it straight through for 2 days. It made her extremely happy.
Good choice! – Michael Hein –
I liked seasons three two, three, and four better, but I needed this one to complete my set. It was better then season five though. If you watch the others first, you will notice some differences, like the Hulk’s appearance, also when he changes, and the intro is different.(I personally like the changes made after season one) An excellent choice, none the less!
A Hit! – MaryP – Nashville, TN

Shipping was super fast also!!
BIXBY,BILL: “…Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” Mild-mannered research scientist David Banner (Emmy nominee Bill Bixby) finds he must offer this heroic warning after exposure to gamma radiation transforms him into the terrifying and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Bursting from comic book pages into this 4-disc DVD set, the Complete First Season of The Incredible Hulk boasts all ten heart-pounding episodes, plus a preview episode from Season Two. Must-see bonus materials include the two original feature-length films, an introduction from The Hulk himself (Ferrigno), and in-depth commentary from producer Kenneth Johnson. Intense. Immense. Incredible! One of the best television adaptations of a comic book, The Incredible Hulk (1978-82) lent gravity and pathos to the fantastic premise–an experiment gone wrong causes a scientist to transform into a giant creature whenever he becomes angry–established in the popular Marvel Comics series. The network version stripped away the Hulk’s outlandish foes (as well as his rudimentary speech) and instead focused on the loneliness of his human alter ego, David Banner (well played by the late Bill Bixby), as he traveled across the United States in search of a cure for his affliction as well as an escape from a prying reporter (the late Jack Colvin, also terrific). But despite its Fugitive-like premise, the TV Hulk never lost its comic book audience thanks to the plausibly ferocious performance by actor/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno (whose growls were dubbed by actors Ted Cassidy and Charles Napier) as the Hulk, who handled the action portions of the show with plausibly superhuman brawn. The Complete First Season set contains both of the pilots that kicked off the series (“Pilot” was previously released on a separate single disc) as well as all 10 episodes from the first season; among the adventures encountered by David and the Hulk are a gambling scandal in Vegas (“The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas”), a meltdown at a nuclear facility (“Earthquakes Happen”), and a runaway plane (“747,” which reunites Bixby with his Courtship of Eddie’s Father co-star Brandon Cruz).

Extras on the set have been the subject of much Internet debate–the commentary by series writer/producer/director Kenneth Johnson on “Pilot” is the same as on the previous DVD release of this episode (as well as the introduction by Ferrigno), and a proposed gag reel mentioned in promotional material has been moved to a future DVD release. The sole fresh bonus material is “Stop the Presses,” an episode taken from the series’ second season. –Paul Gaita

The Politics of Hope and The Bitter Heritage: American Liberalism in the 1960s (The James Madison Library in American Politics)

The Politics of Hope and The Bitter Heritage: American Liberalism in the 1960s (The James Madison Library in American Politics) :

The Politics of Hope and The Bitter Heritage brings together two important books that bracket the tempestuous politics of 1960s America. In The Politics of Hope, which historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., published in 1963 while serving as a special assistant to President Kennedy, Schlesinger defines the liberalism that characterized the Kennedy administration and the optimistic early Sixties. In lively and incisive essays, most of them written between 1956 and 1960, on topics such as the basic differences underlying liberal and conservative politics, the writing of history, and the experience of Communist countries, Schlesinger emphasizes the liberal thinker’s responsibility to abide by goals rather than dogma, to learn from history, and to look to the future.

Four years later, following Kennedy’s assassination and the escalation of America’s involvement in Vietnam, Schlesinger’s tone changes. In The Bitter Heritage, a brief but penetrating appraisal of the “war that nobody wanted,” he recounts America’s entry into Vietnam, the history of the war, and its policy implications. The Bitter Heritage concludes with an eloquent and sobering assessment of the war’s threat to American democracy and a reflection on the lessons or legacies of the Vietman conflict.

With a new foreword by Sean Wilentz, the James Madison Library edition of The Politics of Hope and The Bitter Heritage situates liberalism in the convulsive 1960s–and illuminates the challenges that still face liberalism today.
