The first season of The Incredible Hulk contains 12 episodes total counting the Pilot. Two of these are double-length episodes. They might be divided in half if you see them on TV in syndication, but I will list them here as they are presented on the TVD.
1) The Incredible Hulk
This is the pilot. David is tormented by dreams of the accident that killed his wife. He wants to know why some people exhibit great strength in times of duress but he didn’t. He ends up dosing himself with a high concentration of gamma radiation. In a moment of extreme frustration he morphs into the Hulk. Now he must decide to study or destroy the creature while avoiding the press in the form of Jack McGee.
-It feels long at the beginning as we slowly build up to the first Hulk-out. I think the payoff is worth the buildup, though. We really get to see who David is before the Hulk changes his life forever.
2) Death In The Family
David heads towards a new radiology unit that may be his cure. He happens upon a crippled girl visiting her dead father. His medical training comes in handy when she collapses and even more so when he recognizes anomalies in her medication that suggest a sinister plot. His heroism overrides his anguish, and he stays around to help.
-This is sometimes referred to as the second pilot. It doesn't sound like it would be a long episode does it? It's quite good.
3) The Final Round
A boxer saves David’s hide (well, not really, of course, but he thinks he did) then finds David work at his gym. Turns out the boss has David’s new friend doing things that could get him in serious trouble. When the guy becomes a danger to the operation the boss sets him up for a fall. It helps to have a super hero for a friend even when you don’t know about it.
-This is not necessarily one of my favorite episodes. It's still enjoyable but feels more like a gimmick than a deep story.
4) The Beast Within
David is working at a zoo where a doctor is stemming aggression in animals which could help in controlling the Hulk. As always, there are evil forces at work, sabotaging the research for personal gain.
5) Of Guilt Models & Murder
A disoriented David finds evidence of the Hulk being a killer. He remembers answering a cry for help, but not much else as is usual after his transformations. Should he search for the truth or accept the evidence and hide before scrutiny ousts him?
6) Terror In Times Square
David’s new boss in New York is being squeezed by organized crime. The mob boss threatens David’s new friends when they stand up to him with innocent Carol caught in the middle. They don't count on a big, green guardian angel coming to the rescue.
7) 747
David catches a quick flight to meet a scientist who might be able to help him. Of course, there’s a sinister plot. When a passenger innocently interferes with the criminal’s plans David is drawn into the scheme landing the Hulk in the pilot’s seat of an airplane.
-It's another gimmicky episode, let's put the Hulk in the pilot's chair of an airplane, but I like it.
8) The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas
Some reporter friends of Jack’s are up against organized crime and call on David’s nemesis for help. David gets involved when he witnesses the criminal attempts to silence the press. With Jack’s life in danger for trying to do the right thing David must save him without giving himself away.
9) Never Give A Trucker An Even Break
David is picked up by a lady that cons him into some strange tasks. Now they’re both being chased by homicidal criminals. Is David’s new companion being straight with him or not? He can’t quite be sure.
-There are some attempts at humor in this episode that don’t work. In fact, the episode as a whole might just be the weakest one of the entire series.
10) Life & Death
David runs across a fellow hitchhiker, only this one’s pregnant. He steps in to help as usual. At the hospital he meets with a doctor performing experimental DNA surgery. This is his best chance at a cure so far, but when he learns his pregnant friend may be in danger he goes to her rescue. It’s not so easy this time, though when he’s given a lethal injection.
11) Earthquakes Happen
David turns con man to get into a facility doing top secret research. As he attempts to use a machine to cure himself he’s discovered right before an earthquake hits. Being trapped and facing arrest are the least of his worries, a nuclear meltdown is immanent.
12) The Waterfront Story
David is on the verge of leaving yet another life he’s been building but is talked into staying at the last minute. And it’s a good thing. A couple of men are running for leadership of the union, and it’s not a friendly race with David’s friends caught in the middle. They will need the Hulk around to help them out.
