the two television pilot films, 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'A Death In The Family', which helped launch the surprisingly popular television show that ran for five seasons on CBS, from 1978 to 1982 and returning again in the late 1980's, in three more television films.

Taking a page from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, the show chronicled the journey of scientist David Bruce Banner, wrongly accused of the murder of an associate in a lab explosion and doggedly pursued across the country by tabloid journalist Jack McGee and law enforcement, as he struggled to find some way to both prove his innocence and cure himself of the radiation-inspired accident that forced him to turn into the Hulk when provoked. Accompanying Banner on his travels was the music of veteran composer Joe Harnell, in particular, his 'Lonely Man' theme, performed on solo piano, which would play out at the end of each episode as Banner, once again misunderstood and pushed aside by society despite his compassionate efforts to help his fellow Man, must take to the road and move on to the next town.

Much of Joe's music for the show had echoes of the 'Lonely Man' theme in it, including a compelling and lyrical love theme and a well-remembered brassy horn motif that would inevitably culminate with the transformation of Banner into the Hulk. Few television shows are so strongly identified with a single theme and even now, decades later, the 'Lonely Man' theme is fondly remembered by fans of the show and inextricably linked to the characters of Banner and the Hulk.
