Kenneth Johnson is such an awesome guy.. he really cares about his fans. If you are fan of the Hulk then this will be cool  news for you.

Johnson Does New Hulk DVDs

Kenneth Johnson, who created and produced the classic The Incredible Hulk TV series, told SCI FI Wire that he dug back into his archives to provide informed commentary on the show for the upcoming season-three and four DVD set that comes out in June. Johnson provides audio commentary on the two-hour season-four premiere, "Prometheus," which he directed and which centers on Bill Bixby's David Banner/the Hulk as he is chased by the military.

"I hate commentaries where the subject just does jokes or meanders or states the obvious, which the audience can already see," Johnson said in an interview. "I always prepare very carefully and thoroughly before I sit down to do a commentary."

Johnson, who also created the SF miniseries V, said that he dug out his original Hulk director's script, old call sheets and location data. "I screen the film for myself to see how it plays, get a sense of what info I should place where and let the film stimulate memories," he said. "I have all of that mass of info organized in a notebook on a music stand in the studio so I can be sure to get it all correct during the recording."

The preparation usually stimulates memories of previously forgotten trivia.

Two box sets will be released on June 3 to tie in with the upcoming Incredible Hulk feature film, starring Edward Norton, on June 13. The sets contain nine discs, which include special features, interviews and audio commentary.

"They've also recorded interviews with Bob Steinhauer, Karen Harris and Jill Sherman-Donner, who were producers for me on the show," Johnson saud. Writer/producer Reuben Leder, who was involved as a writer/producer, also participated in the retrospective feature. "They give additional insights and perspectives into the work we did on The Incredible Hulk when it was on the air for five years."

The Incredible Hulk aired on CBS 1979-'82. Bixby starred with Lou Ferrigno. The Incredible Hulk season-three and -four DVD sets will carry a suggested retail price of $39.98 each. --Frank Garcia
