Marvels' best live action show period, and given what came after, that is'nt hard. Simply tremendous

Well, what all did it have the compete with? The American and Japanese live action Spider-Man shows?

But it was a good show. I probably won't buy the set, but I might rent it. I'm glad they went the more "serious" route with the series and played down the comic book-angle. Given how poorly Thor and Daredevil translated to the silver screen during the first two reunion movies, I'm rather relieved they never tried to include any super villains.

Still never gotten around to seeing The Death of the Incredible Hulk. Might have to rent that one, too, now that I'm thinking about it.

I actually quite liked the portrayal of Daredevil, coustume aside Murdoch translated adequetly, Thor was just a disgrace, an unabashed butchering of his origins, blatant in acting and presentation. I loved a lot of things about "Trial", including the fact Banner did'nt hulk out in the final scenes. A lot of fans were dissapointed he did'nt, but for someone who wanted to see Banner manage a small victory, it was worth it.

Although I consider "Trial Of..." the best of the final three movies, "Death Of", is a darker toned affair, and pretty much what the show should have evolved into in its' later years. Darned shame Bixby died just when the films were going to venture deeper into the comics.

This is awesome news. I loved this show so much as a kid. My mom had so many episodes on VHS and I watched them constantly. Currently the only thing I own of this series is "Return of the Incredible Hulk", which I liked to a point, but Thor was so awful I wanted to cave my head in.
