What do you remember about Bill Bixby? 🤔
The hulk
Comic book guy telling Stan Lee he couldn't even turn into Bill Bixby
His good looks and his great acting.
I met the late Mr.Bixby in a lift in 1990ish. I spoke with him about his late wife (she was on Days of our Lives) & he could not have been more nice! This video is breaking my heart, but it is really important to remember this gentleman!
Was a great actor who played many various roles from comedy, to sitcoms, to sci-fi roles. Of course, The Hulk. Know He liked his role as Eddie's Father the best, however, I liked him better as Tim O'Hara. Class act all the way thru his career.
I knew about the cancer, but not about the death of his son. I agree that he VERY MUCH deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
its stupid, to get a star you just have to pay for it. Its not like they just give it to great actors. You simply have to pay for it. Many great actors don't have a star on the walk of fame, because they refuse to pay for it. If someone wants to fork out what, like 40,000 dollars or what ever the current price is, you can have a star on the walk of fame for Bill. Isn't hard. Gene Autry has 5, people you've never heard of have stars.
I can't believe Bixby doesn't have a star on the walk of fame. It's time to give this man his well deserved and earned star!
I guess actors had to actually pay for those stars, and I heard that He didn't have enough money, or He wasn't interested in it. If you know more, let me know..
I think at the time of his passing, he didn't have enough money to buy A Star. Liked him best as Tim O'Hara. That show was both ridiculous & very funny. Don't remember The Magician.
@@marcstevens8576I do. It debuted in 1973, and I think it only lasted one season. And if memory serves me correctly Bix would perform magic for his Incredible Hulk costars.
Please give him a star on the Hall of Fame on the Walk of Fame please I love him I love him I love him the complete best I hated it when he got sick I hated it it was on every Network he was everywhere it was so gorgeous on My Favorite Martian that look right there with that backpack I miss that I was a kid I love him I love him back then oh wow y'all just don't know y'all just don't know❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ born in San Francisco beautiful Atlantis it is Atlantis San Francisco almost faded away will it ever is it the Atlantis that we think we've heard Mystikal he was too beautiful not to act acting was in him he was a beautiful little boy to a beautiful grown man❤ he had that look for Chrysler and General Motors it was it was just that look they wanted that clean cut prettiness of a golf resort most gorgeous❤❤man there will never be another one❤
Dr David Banner! I remember growing up, on Friday nights. The Dukes of Hazard would come on. Then Wonder Woman, then The Incredible Hulk! Great memories!!!
Yes! He should have a star on the walk of fame.
He was a wonderful actor and nobody had a bad word to say about him in his industry. He was great in the TV series Rich Man, Poor Man. Sad and tragic life in so many ways.
Good one. Forgot about that.
I saw him on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. He played a rich teenager that got a speeding ticket. He thought his father who was a judge would get him out of jail. His dad made him do the time since he refused to pay the ticket. ☺️
Yes very sad and tragic. He was a great man, and he didn't deserve any of this. R.i.p Bill Bixby.🌹
One of my favorite actors. R.I.P Mr Bixby
I will always remember Bill Bixby as the Incredible Hulk growing up in the 80's I remember I would sometimes pretend I was turning into the Hulk lol fond memories
Me too
Bill's version of The Incredible Hulk will ALWAYS be the BEST version
Eric bana and edward norton who played the movie versions of the incredible hulk can't hold a candle to Bill Bixby.
I loved The Magician ....sad story , sad ending for him, his son, and his first wife! 😢
I felt sorry for him.
I loved it too!
I grew up watching the Incredible Hulk. It was so much fun running around the house trying to rip yr shirt off. It is a crying shame Bill does not get the recognition he deserves. Thanks Bill for some great memories.
I did the same & actually succeeded in ripping my shirt off. When Dad came home from work & I told him later what I did, I found out who The Hulk of the family really was. Never tried it again.
Loved him as Dr banner. He was so kind.. Really miss him.
Absolutely should have a star on the walk of fame...and should be recognized for all he gave and the amazing talent he was. His pure intentions and character shone through every scene he ever did. A huge and indispensable figure in my life growing up. He gave me hope that there were more good people like him in the world and that if you lived with love and truth in your heart, everything would work out like it should in the end. Even seeing his image makes me cry. Can't say enough about what Bill Bixby meant to me.
I loved him as David Banner when I was a kid, but I finally watched My Favorite Martian and understood him as a young actor. I really like all if his work, and I miss him.
I loved especially as Dr. David Banner in the Incredible Hulk. It showed an incredibly compassionate side that people genuinely have. It is important to have that kind of inspiration.
He deserves a star on the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME NOW
I absolutely love Bill Bixby. I've been a fan since childhood. I almost feel like I know the man. The Incredible Hulk is like a current show to me, because I still watch it all the time. He is sorely missed...
The scene at the end of every hulk episode when he walks away with the piano music always chokes me up
I remember Bill Bixby from the courtship of Eddie's Father first then the Incredible Hulk.
Sadly I became a single father of four little ones. They are all grown now.
I just could not imagine having your only child died.
I liked all the characters he played. I had no idea what he had gone through in his personal life. God rest his soul. 💞
Everyone loved Bill Bixby.
One of my favorite Andy Griffin shows had Bill as a rich kid who learns to stand on his own two feet. Sad that he died so young.
He endured enough tragedy to last him a lifetime.
One of my favorite moments was in a special episode of Incredible Hulk bloopers. Bill looks seriously at another character and tries to say, "He's also a wife beater and that makes him very dangerous" or something to that effect. But instead, he says, "That man is an egg beater" with a totally straight face. I still giggle just thinking about it!
I was born in 1975. I grew up watching the Incredible Hulk and the courtship of Eddie’s father. I’ve always been drawn to Mr. Bixby’s gentleman, humble and at times lonely nature. He got me through a lot of lonely times in my life. I miss and appreciate him.
My Favorite Martian was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid.
Loved My Favorite Martian with Ray Walston ( who was Sean Penn's teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High ) and in The Courtship of Eddie's Father.
Loved The Hulk as well, as he played a serious role in it. He also gave Lou a chance to act on his own after Hulk ended...
Ray Walston was also Luther Billis in South Pacific. If you get a chance to see the uncut version of the film, his scenes are a lot longer. So much better than the released version.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Thanks, I'll check it out. Sounds Interesting....
What a riot Mr hand was especially Sean Penn ordering the pizza to the class!!! Everybody help yourselves only 1 or slices left
I grew up in the 70's so I grew up watching him. He is missed. It's so sad he was taken too soon. Thanks for making this and keeping him alive to a new generation.
🙏🌸🧡❤️
I really thought he already had a 🌟 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . It's outrageous he doesn't have one. Mediocre "stars" do. I grew up watching all those shows. My favorite show was The Magician. Where do I donate for the campaign?
Even Trump has one! And in my opinion he aint much of an “actor”.
_The Incredible Hulk_ was one of my favorite TV shows as a little kid. Saw it on CBS network and collected the TV Guide ads for it in a scrapbook. :)
I loved him in the Incredible Hulk. He was in an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Bill bixby also appeared on an episode of night gallery.
@@harperstacey9604 didn’t see that episode, thanks for letting me know!
@@fanaticat1 he was in 3 episodes actually
@@brucegwynn8509 🤩 wow! I used to watch the twilight zone all the time but the night gallery series did not get played as often so although I’ve heard of it I didn’t watch very many episodes.
I remember watching “The Incredible Hulk” when it was on television.
I watched him in both Courtship and Hulk. Loved him in the Hulk. I cried for hours when he passed. Even hearing the theme at times will get me sentimental and a lump in my throat. RIP old friend RIP
Omg I have Incredible Hulk DVD’s. I was obsessed.
Well I Have Them Too Lol ! And I Love that Program back in the Day
Just recently have been watching the incredible Hulk again. Nothing can beat the original..man did i got sick after watching the present Hulk. Bill Bixby is the one and only Dr. David Banner..RIP Legend
it is so heartbreaking, remembering him. i loved the incredible hulk.....he was one of the genuine good people in the world. guess that is why they say the good die young....
Bill Bixby did such phenomenal job portraying Dr. David Banner because he made the character so complex with depth. I remembered loving The Incredible Hulk as a kid. The iconic transformations of Dr. Banner into Incredible Hulk were always so thrilling and awesome! The episodes were profound and action packed!
one of the episode i wont forget when david banner said to one of the man when he said " don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.....this is the tag line which i wont forget....and this is the best and one of my favorite tv program series the incredible hulk.......
Loved and watched all his tv shows. He would have been great on That Girl .
Bill bixby and Marlo Thomas would have made a great couple.
Bill Bixby deserved all the best, but despite the success he achieved, he suffered various terrible tragedies and then passed away from cancer. Very sad 😥
Life has not been kind to Bill Bixby.
I LOVED THE HULK! In high school I had a friend who used to dress like the hulk not just on Halloween but all the time! LOL!
Bixby and Robert Ulrich unfortunately had a lot in common. Both must have been easy to work with. Hence, the work that they both were afforded.
Bill truly deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk.🌟
I loved watching The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. I was heartbroken when I learned of his death. Prostate cancer is easily treated now.
If Kathy Lee Gifford got a star (pfftttt), Bixby definitely deserves a big fat gold one!
Kathie lee gifford is so annoying.
I loved Bill, but I remember "The Magician" as my favourite. They started a second season and made some sad changes, likely to reduce costs, the most memorable was that the jet that he called home for season one was dropped without explanation. For season two, he had a top-floor penthouse in a hotel. For me, as a kid, that change kinda' destroyed the entire premise of the show for me, but I was sad when the show was dropped anyway. B. B. was a GREAT actor. I knew him from "The Courtship of Eddy's Father," "The Magician" and "The Hulk." I've never seen a single episode of "My Favourite Martian." I may, however, try to find it.
I love everything about Bill bixby I had the chance to meet him when I went to California and he was so kind loving caring and a wonderful man I love ❤️ bill
Yes, Bill Bixby is a legend. He was handsome, intelligent, and very talented. I will always be a fan of his!❤
My favorite show he was in is The Incredible Hulk. He should definitely have a star on the HWF!
I got into "the magician" as a teen. I found bit fascinating what they said after the opening credits, "All the magic you are about to see is performed without trick photography of ANY kind; by Bill Bixby, the magician!". It gave me chills hearing it each time!
my kid brother were talking about Bill Bixby's television career one day and my brother came up with this goofy title: "my favorite incredible Martian Hulk we were both drinking iced tea that day, I had a mouthful of iced tea still in my mouth, which I hadn't quite swallowed yet. when he told me that goofy title, I laughed so hard that all that ice tea flew out of my mouth right into my brother's face. we still laugh about that incident, humor is a funny thing to experience in life, it helps to overcome challenging times like going thru this covid-19 pandemic we've all been through over the past year. I suffered a debilitating stroke back on December 19th, 2004. which rendered me a disabled-mute. for the last over 16 years, having a sense of humor and seeing the funny side of life as tragic as it can be for some. I keep my sense of humor intact on a daily basis, I see the funny things everywhere around me, that's what has kept me going, over the past 16 years as a disabled mute. life is tough on me, it's no fun to have lost my ability to verbally speak and having my whole left side of my body permanently paralyzed. the memory of my brother's " my Favorite Incredible Martian Hulk" has stayed with me every time the topic of Bill Bixby incredible television career comes up for discussion. he left behind a legacy. i Remember watching episodes of My Favorite Martian back in the 60's, I watched that TV show every week it came on. growing up in the 60's, was a lot of fun. TV was great back in the 60's that's what first got me into science fiction, programs like the Outer Limits and the Twilight zone were my favorite TV shows back in the day, My Favorite Martian is where it all began for me. I'm still very much into SyFy. I have all the original episodes of the Outer Limits on DVD. as well as the new version of the Outer Limits. i watch videos of old episodes of my favorite Martian on You Tube. Rest in peace Bill Bixby...
I grew up watching reruns of the credible Hulk I absolutely love the series I had no idea he directed The Blossom series
He died shortly after directing the TV show, blossom.
The fact he could transform into the hulk without tearing his pants deserves respect
How was that possible?
I liked him on "My favorite Martian."
as Tim O'Hara.
Considering how tight he wore his pants, it's a miracle!
That is why the Hulk was so angry. He muscled up in every place but one, which is why his pants never split.
And sometimes without removing his training shoes.
I liked the Courtship of Eddie's Father. I watched quite a bit of episodes when I was younger along with Family Affair with Brian Keith.
I remember all of his life. For me, Bill will always be the guy who lived with an alien from Mars. I liked Hulk, but I liked the comedic side of Bill. I even met Lou Ferrigno a few times, but My Favorite Martian will always be my favorite Bill Bixby.
Yes yes yes Legendary, iconic Bill Bixby should be on the walk of fame, he was very dedicated, loyal, respectful, down to earth, funny smart gited to his craft! Heart and Soul as well! As David Danner, a lot of fans or people can relate to him of what's he was going through and try dealing in life as much as possible just as any one would do in his situation as well!..Wish BILL Bixby was still around today , he would be excited es,static, happy about the revolution of M C U that we have now! LONG LIVE Bill Bixby aka Dr David,Banner!😎💚💚💚💚🍻🍻🍻💚♥♥♥ heart soul always and Forever!
Great actor, he had a natural talent.
First time i ever saw him was on the Andy Griffith show, he was good enough that i remembered his name, not something i do on the norm. Thanks for the great video! thumbs up!
Bill bixby also appeared in two movies with Elvis Presley.
He should have a star!
I am absolutely shocked he doesn't have a star. That's just sad. You guys owe me a shirt...
I guess he couldn't afford it, as stars have to buy their own stars. Don't care, I see him on TV more than I see any of the Prima Donnas of His heyday. Thanks satisfactory to me.
My Favorite Martian I grew up in the 60s Loving that show and Courtships of Eddie Father I miss Bill Bixby he deserves the A Star in walk of Fame God Bless Bill Bixby
I love the incredible hulk with him me & my grandmother would watch it when it came on
Loved My Favorite Marchin, I Loved The Hulk!!💚 He was a great actor!! Always loved the classic Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I get angry1💚
I watched all of his tv shows...I love the Courtship of Eddie's Father. That was probably the one I loved the most. Then My Favorite Martian was next... As I got older, it was harder to watch the Magician with any regularity. All of his characters were sympathetic. I connected with them all. I think that is what he did the most for all of them. His ability to make you care. His personality seemed to be very similar. Whenever he was on the screen, you wanted to watch him.
Just loved 🥰 his shows
Bill bixby appeared in a couple of episodes of the streets of San Francisco.
Ya he deserves a star
I used to watch reruns of The Incredible Hulk on TV in the late 90s/early 2000s, and it was honestly my favorite show. Got me into comic books.
Bill Bixby will always be blessed with God and his family. I miss seeing him on television. Be with God Bill Bixby. Your truly appreciate your help with me. Jennifer Douglas
hello there. thank you for the vid and biography of the great Bill Bixby. you added on some more info that i did not expect. i have been a loyal fan of the incredible hulk for a long time. and i even own all 5 seasons on dvd with a special 6 disc "best of" the incredible hulk. and even the pilot episode on vid tape which still plays today, with commentary on the beginning of the vid tape, from Lou Ferrigno the hulk himself. and the one phrase that will live on with me, that speaks volumes of truth...."Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when i am angry." Dr. David Banner.
I remember my favorite martian, the magician and the incredible hulk
Don't forget the courtship of eddie's father.
A man dwelled in sorrow and pain, had left this world for ever .
Tragic is a painful word. Rip bill
I was very young but I remember wanting the Corvette from the Magician series. I followed his career from Courtship to the Magician, to the Hulk. Watched his wife on Days of Our Lives. Felt so saddened by his losses. He always seemed like a nice man. Once of the best TV Dads. RIP Bill Bixby 💟
The Hulk cannot die, neither can bruce banner, he is immortal
Bill Bixby was my personal tv dad. It is and was one of the healthiest and most positive relationships anyone could hope for. Seriously, this is tv serving the highest purpose anyone imagined and I am grateful I had the opportunity to watch him growing up. He will be missed.
He had a natural gentleness. I like him a lot.
My Uncle Fred was a lighting technician and worked on My Favorite Martian. He got to know Bill Bixby well and found him to be a really friendly guy. Years later Fred worked on Speedway with Elvis, who he got to know well cause he and Elvis were born on the same day. Fred told me that Bill Bixby wasn't the same as he was in Martian. Something was troubling him during that year. He more than anyone deserves his star on the Walk of Fame.
I had seen reruns of "My Favourite Martian" so was familiar with Bill, and when, as a child, I saw the first teasers for "The Incredible Hulk" I immediately put Hulk to the top of my "must watch" list! It was awesome, Bill was awesome, and it's incredibly sad that he died way too young. I also believe he should have a star on the Walk of Fame. I believe I saw a few episodes of "Magician" as well. Great actor, great guy.
Loved him, may he and his son rest in peace 🙏, great video thanks 💖😁
I remembered watching Bill on these shows and movies as a child and I had no idea of these tragic events in his life. I do hope Bill, his ex wife are at peace and are now with their child. And he does deserve to be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he was a hard worker.😊😊
He was also in the Marines before his acting career started. I remember him from "My Favorite Martian", when I was 6 years old when it started. I never saw "Courtship" until reruns because we lived in the country and could not get the channel it was on. But, I loved "The Magician" and, of course, the coup de grace, Dr. David Banner. Bixby was a very underrated actor who was great at his craft.
grande ator adoro ate os dias d hoje essa série do incrível Hulk lamentável a morte dele
Loved watching this
Play this at 1.25 speed if you want this guy to sound a lot less smarmy. Believe me, it makes a difference. He actually sounds normal and not like an adenoidal kid.
I could barely stand to watch these before because of this guy's gee-whiz delivery.
Bill was great in all his parts as actor and director.
Growing up in the early 70s, Bill Bixby, and Don Adams, were my two favorite Actors, as well as, Robert Conrad!!! I loved watching reruns of My favorite Martian, and The Courtshio of Eddie's Father!!! Of course, the incredible hulk!!! But, I vaguely remember the Magician, so I recently purchased the full episodes complete series on Amazon!!! One of the Greatest Actors!!!
Yes I emphatically watched the incredible Hulk I really enjoyed it also the courtship of eddies father I remember he was in a couple of episodes of the Twilight zone good stuff
There can only be one of his work's courtship of Eddie's father loved that show.
I grew up with all those shows. I was glued to the TV on Hulk night and like some consider him the only real Banner.
⭐ ... nuf said.
Bill was so great as Dr Banner that Marvel changed the character to be more like him.
From 62 to 78 was emotional but didn't have a lot of range or development as a character.
When Bill started playing Banner, he added so much life and feeling (not just anger) that Marvel had no choice but to alter the comic version to be more like the TV version.
Much like how Christopher Reeves, Linda Carter and Adam West affected their comic variants.
I grew up watching The Incredible Hulk. I was sold on the show, when the Hulk threw the bear, in Death in the Family. This was the best show of the 20th century.
One of my favor shows was Eddie’s Father and, then, we watch him in the Incredible Hulk and, then, their was the Apple Dumpling Gang movies that Disney Put out, it was one of favorites after we went to see it in the movie theater, every time we couldn’t wait. When, we found out Bixby was the one behind Blossom that was mainly why we watched the series. Bill Bixby was a gentle soul, may he forever R.I.P.
Yes, loved the show and Bill Bixby was a top-notch actor
Actually, he also appeared on the 4th major American network, PBS, in the late 1970s. He hosted Once Upon a Classic which was...well...a classic.
Cool! Someone else mentions this!!
Definitely my childhood hero Mr. Bill Bixby deserves a Hall Of Fame Star!!!
Dr Banner & Tim o'hara, I've never seen courtship of Eddie's father or the magician, I may have to check those out . He seemed to cone across as a likable guy.
I love Bixby. Amazing actor.
I loved the character he played as David Banner. Every time I watch an Incredible Hulk episode, at the ending song, I simply grieve the loss of Bill Bixby over and over again.
I had the great privilege of growing up watching Bill Bixby in numerous television series. I even remember him acting in some westerns. But undoubtedly his best role in my opinion was dr. David Banner
Anybody remember "Ride Beyond Vengeance (1966)"? Really a Chuck Conners movie, but the part where Bill Bixby pulls the branding iron to his chest has stuck with me since I saw it. I love Bill Bixby in Courtship of Eddies Father and The Incredible Hulk, but I still remember the part from the Chuck Conners movie.
Back in the early 1990's I worked with an audio company that designed and worked on his gear. He was very much like the character Tony Blake from "The Magician. Spirit was his influential soul hence the classic 1973 white Corvette and private jet. He was a remarkable "Spirit". God bless you Bill Bixby!
Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 About Bill Bixby As Himself!
He had a sad life and sad ending. I remember the day he passed and it was a shock and still is. RIP Bill.
