Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one scene, David ('Bill Bixby') does a magic trick and "magically" finds a quarter behind the Louie's ear. In real Life, Bill Bixby was an accomplished stage magician and was a respected member of the Hollywood magic community, belonging to The Magic Castle, an exclusive club for magicians. Bixby also starred in a short-lived TV series called The Magician (1973), in which he played a former stage magician and amateur crime solver. In that series, Bixby insisted on doing all of the magic tricks without resorting to trick photography.
- GoofsWhen David Banner & Renee Dubois open their office to find a crowd gawking at the Voodoo artifacts left hanging on their doorway, the same frame showing the extras is reversed to make it appear that the crowd is larger than it actually is, showing the same extras first at right and then at left. This is repeated at least three times back and forth easily revealing this production money-saving goof.

Featured review
The first bad Hulk episode
Well, you can't win 'em all. The third season of "The Incredible Hulk" is the best when it comes to stand-alone episodes but this turkey is the worst offender of the bunch. Season four's "Half Nelson" and season five's "The Phenom" did manage to outdo "Babalao" in terms of being bad, but still, this is pretty horrendous. Overall "The Incredible Hulk" was a good show despite the relatively absurd subject matter.
Thankfully the show's creator Kenneth Johnson found an angle that really worked and he achieved some very good moments with his stellar cast (Bixby, Ferrigno and Colvin) and a solid writing crew. However, as with most series, the show did offer a few offenders and "Babalao" is the first really bad Hulk episode.
Credit to Bixby, he doesn't falter as David Banner here, as he's spewing one ridiculous line after another. The story is meant to be somewhat mystical, with an evil sorcerer known as Babalao terrorizing the folks in New Orleans. Well, the less said about the story here the better.
There is one good Hulk-out here, though. The New Orleans setting is always lovely to look at but there ends the positive concerning this episode. It doesn't reach the "it's so bad it's actually kinda' good" heights like Season Five's "The Phenom" but it's pretty bad.
