Very interesting to see Bill's reaction to the Shehulk comic here since his love for sci-fi before wasn't really there. Based on the fact he really didn't want to do the Hulk show in the beginning but changed his mind when Kenneth Johnson told him it was going to remain mostly a physiological drama and not pertaining to it's comic book origins.

They mention Bixby’s new sitcom Goodnight Beantown which began in 1983, a year after the Hulk was cancelled. And Earthquake Happen was way way back in the Hulk’s first season in 1978.

The Savage She-Hulk was first published in February of 1980, so I'm guessing this interview was broadcast around that time? Season 3 of The Incredible Hulk was also on the air at that time, Earthquakes Happen was in season 1, episode 9 (1978).

@@roguetrooper5288 the full video of this interview between Bixby and Leta Powell is also on KZfaq and it’s dated 1983, which makes sense because at the very end of this clip they talk about Goodnight Beantown , which only ran from 1983 to 1984. What’s also of note to hulk fans is that in Goodnight Beantown, Bixby’s costar is Mariette Hartley, who played Carolyn Fields in Married.

They had cast Brigitte Neilsen, who was in Rocky IV, and later married Sylvester Stallone. She was a former model and was about six feet tall or so. There were even pictures of her in some light green lipstick and a oh-so-'80s leather jumpsuit, so probablyy the movie would've had Jennifer Walters as She-Hulk most of the time, like in the comics. This would've been around the time of the NBC TV movies.

I wrote to Gerald DiPeggio years ago. He penned the screenplays for Trial of the Incredible Hulk and Death of the Incredible Hulk. He told me "Rebirth of the Incredible Hulk" would have featured Ferrigno as the Hulk, but with Banner's intellect. I believe the idea was Banner would physically remain the Hulk until he could heal from injuries sustained at the end of "Death." Bixby wouldn't appear until the final act. Once Bixby died, alas, the project never developed.

The Savage She-Hulk was first released November 13, 1979, The Incredible Hulk television series was first released November 4, 1977. Now I have heard and read that Marvel was pleased with the success of the TV show and wanted to prevent anyone one else like the Distinguished Competition from snatching up the trademark on a female Hulk ergo the comic book was launched. Albeit I think She-Hulk has more than earned her worth initially she was something done reactionary not really a brainstorm or eureka moment on Marvel's part. I encourage any fact-check if I am incorrect in my assessment of the situation.

I think it's also important to remember that the Women's Liberation movement was in full swing during this time and Marvel was trying to implement these and other progressive ideals in their publications. This, I believe, was one ingredient to Marvel's staying power and overall success.
