Married

You don't have to be a fan of "The Incredible Hulk" to appreciate this wonderful two hour episode of the TV series. It was actually shown in a two hour format during it's original broadcast and then released overseas to theatres in Europe. Mariette Hartley stars as a hypnotherapist who can possibly cure Dr. David Banner(Bill Bixby. Banner, on the other hand, has DNA that can cure the hypnotherapist. They eventually come to depend on each other and love blossoms among the beauties of Hawaii. The closing scenes contain some of the most profoundly moving drama I have ever seen on television. Bill Bixby is wonderful as usual and Mariette Hartley took home the first ever non technical emmy award for a sci fi tv show. If you're looking for a good tearjerker, look no further.

Even after all these yrs "The Incredible Hulk" still glues me to the tube as it did as a child.. after purchasing the box set a few yrs back first thing i did was throwing in the directors narrated cut episode of "MARRIED" with Nicholas Corea... after watching it - it pretty much made it impossible not to label that episode one of the very best of the series.. period !! will say though it was difficult to learn some of the demons mr bixby was dealing with in his personal life.. but don't we all have some type of dealings at some point along the rd. - so why judge..

anyways.. Married wasn't my favorite of the series but definitely in my top 5.. "Death in the family" is my #1... #2 Escape from Los Santos.. #3 "a child in need" #4 "Married"... #5 "Like a Brother".. #6 747.. #7 "The First" and on & on..

Only overall grip i had with the series was the Growl of the "Hulk Outs" from late season 3 and on... i keep promising myself to go out and find someone to edit in the old school "Growls" into the my favorite episodes late season 3 and on... overall "The Incredible Hulk" Is and always will be part of my life.

This 2-parter ranks right up there with the absolute best of The Incredible Hulk television series episodes. David Banner (Bill Bixby) flies to Hawaii in his ever-continuing search to cure those pesky green transformations of his... and winds up falling in love with fellow physician Carolyn Fields. Though she is afflicted with her own ailment, the two doctors work valiantly together to cure each other before time runs out.

Guest star Mariette Hartley (who, incidently won the 1979 Emmy for this episode as Best Actress in a Drama series) has some great moments onscreen with both Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (as Banner's alter-ego, The Hulk). I recently saw this for the first time and was completely mesmerized by the quality of the story and the performances! Since "Married" is now widely available on DVD (along with the pilot episode), I HIGHLY recommend adding this to your collection. If this the only exposure you ever have to the series, you won't be disappointed!

I truly love watching this TV movie because I think it has such deeply moving moments so eloquently blended with the fun and excitement that made the Incredible Hulk series so great. I also think it has most excellent performances all around. I especially found the climactic scene to be most emotional. It's a true winner in every sense.

Married (which, of course, originally aired as a TV-movie under the title Bride of the Incredible Hulk) is an INCREDIBLE HULK episode that few (if anyone) will forget. Mariette Hartley won an Emmy for her performance as the terminally ill doctor who marries David Banner (brilliantly portrayed by the late Bill Bixby). Her performance in this story is nothing short of excellent.

The setting in Hawaii is beautiful. It was nice to see such a story set in such a lovely place as Hawaii. I think that's what makes the "Married" episode even more memorable.

However, I'm not really giving anything away if I reveal that the marriage is short-lived. That was only to be expected since the HULK series had our hero having to constantly go from place to place until his can find a way to be permanently rid of his affliction.

If you have a desire to start watching the INCREDIBLE HULK series, "Married" is one of main episodes that you must watch. But before you see this particular episode, make sure you have a handkerchief or some tissues handy.
