Bill Bixby - After Courtship
In 1973, Bixby starred in The Magician, playing Anthony Dorian, which lasted one season. As a game show panelist, he appeared mostly on Password and The Hollywood Squares. An accomplished amateur magician, Bixby also hosted several specials in the mid-1970s that featured other amateur magicians.
Bill Bixby - The Incredible Hulk
In late 1977, after working on 2 comedy series, Bixby starred in a two-hour pilot movie called The Incredible Hulk. The producers convinced CBS to turn it into a weekly science-fiction series beginning in early 1978. His character, Dr. David Banner, was a scientist/physician who turned into a green monster (played by Lou Ferrigno) when he became angry. A hit, the series was seen in over 70 countries as Bixby's character rips his shirts apart before becoming the Hulk. Bixby felt that the make-up requirements for his part were onerous however. More than a courageous move to star in a science-fiction series, but he decided to take a risky one after finished reading the entire script. On the pilot episode of the Hulk, his catch-phrase became popular as he uttered, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry," as this one became one of Bixby's better hit series, and making him a pop icon of the 1970s. During the show's run, he also invited 2 of his longtime friends (Ray Walston from My Favorite Martian and Brandon Cruz from The Courtship of Eddie's Father) from 2 of Bixby's hit series, earlier, to guest-star with him on a couple of different episodes of the Hulk. In 1981, Bixby not only acted, but served one time as director of the show. The series was cancelled that following year. Bixby was disappointed that his character was not cured of his condition in the final episode.
After he starred in 3 successful TV series, he wanted to concentrate on directing, from his own short-lived comedy, Goodnight, Beantown with Mariette Hartley (when she guest-starred with Bixby on The Incredible Hulk), to the successful, Sledgehammer. In addition to Hulk, Bixby directed two of the three TV movie revivals which he also produced. Prior to his death he was the lead director of the TV sitcom Blossom.
