Lousy Incredible Hulk Series Collection.

So I open the Hulk . Absolutely no inserts, absolutely no printing ANYWHERE ON THE BOX as to the specific contents of each disc and from what i've played so far, none of the episodes appear to be in order. The back of the box itself did have "includes" and then a list of some of the episodes. None in any order apparently and none with any clues as to what disc to look for that particular episode in.

WTF???

Anyone else as dissapointed and mad as I was? It was doubly dissaponting since I 1st opened up that rather nice Battlestar Galactica box which came with a book as well as packaging that tells you what is on each disc, including original airdates. Since The Incredible Hulk box was also released by Universal, I assumed it would be as good. Not only WASN'T it good, it was absolutely abysmall!!!!!

I'm hoping someone takes the initiative and prints an insert for referencing purpouses.

Finally, is this actually the ENTIRE series? the box led me to beleive as much since it is called "The TV series ULTIMATE collection" rather than simply "season I" or something. But at only 14 hrs. 33 minutes, It seems rather short to hold even 1 season seeing as every episode was 1 hr in length.

On the positive side, i thought the picture quality was superb as was the sound.

This is very disappointing. I think Im going to hold off until a possible SE with inserts. Thanks for the heads up.

No, it's not even close to being the full series.

It's a "best of"

The full season is 5 seasons so it would be at least 25 DVDs. Hopefully they'll come out with full season sets soon if this sells enough. I bought the ultimate collection because there's nothing else available on DVD right now and it's not on tv (besides the short 5 day scifi marathon that's on right now which I'm taping).

This was never supposed to be a full season. It was announced as a best of collection. This collection contains the 18 episodes that fans voted as the best.

This thread has the episode listing.

That would be Disc 3: The First Part 1, The First Part 2

The old guy had been a hulk, but was cured and was going to help Banner, but decided he wanted to get rid of his arthritis instead.

The guy who plays the other Hulk in that is the same guy who plays Swamp Thing in the movies. His name is Dick Durock.
