I think you mean "My Favorite Martian"

Bill Bixby died in 1993. I used to like him in "The Magician"

Edited it in. You can change the title yourself by double clicking beside it. Think that ability expires after a spell though.

And at the end of each show we would all feel sorry for him with him walking off to that sad piano music, no friends, always on the run from Mr Magee

Great show. I can still remember watching the movie length first ep.

He went through a lot of shirts.

I loved Stewie on Family Guy talking about the 'sad walking away music' from The Incredible Hulk!
I always found the episode endings so sad, as David found himself alone once more.


Ooooh, I've just realised this is on Netflix (the US one anyway).

I recall that he only once referred to this, making a quip about getting elasticated shirts. I used to love the program. Lou Ferringo used to play the hulk. You might remember him from such recent shows as "physical training for Michael Jackson before he died".

I'd love to see that ad again!!

I like that Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno were good friends in real life. It always ruins shows for me a bit when I find out the stars really didn't get on.

Lou Ferrigno also starred in King of Queens as himself on numerous occasions.

HMV have the full box set at the moment. Not sure if it contains the after movies which conclude the series. There was a daredevil tie in and the trial of the incredible hulk. And of course the movie the death of the incredible hulk.

I remember when it was shown on Telly In Ireland one week the show just stopped and was replaced when the magician. I remember coming back from Mass (forced by the parents) seeing bill bixby performing tricks and having a cool white car and I was waiting for the entire episode for him to turn into the hulk and he didnt.

"The Lonely Man" music I loved.
