David\/The Hulk tries to find her, but it is too late, Carolyn dies in The Hulks arms and David is left once again without a cure.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The Incredible Hulk has a good number of dramatic scenes and most of it is due to Bill Bixby\u2019s acting as David Banner.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>David is still a kind person at heart and will do his best to help others, but he still desires to be cured of the creature and sacrifices everything, even his own identity to find a cure.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>What also makes this show good is the music by Joe Harnell, particularly the piano theme at the end credits, \u201cThe Lonely Man.\u201d<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>This is one of the saddest songs you will hear on television and it\u2019s made even more sad when the character is eventually killed in a direct-to-tv movie, The Death of the Incredible Hulk.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Bill Bixby died a couple years after that special aired, so we never got a happy ending to this character, and that honestly sucks in my opinion.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>I didn\u2019t really finish this series as it got a little repetitive in later episodes, but for the first three seasons of this show, I was hooked, and I will always remember
