HULK SMAAAAAAAAASH NIELSEN RATINGS!
Tue, November 16, 2010 
After two bites at the gamma radiated apple, Marvel seems have gotten the message. Audiences don't give a damn about a Hulk film franchise. So why not go to the format where the angry green giant first exploded with the general public – television.
As per "TOLDJA," Marvel and ABC Studios are collaborating on a new live-action Hulk series with fan-favorite Guillermo del Toro and Battlestar Galactica executive producer David Eick as the creative force behind the project aiming for Fall 2012. The two will develop the story and, if scheduling permits it, del Toro may sit in the director's chair for the pilot.
Considering this is network television we're talking, don't expect a 100% CG Hulk every week. Instead the goal will involve a mixture of make-up effects, puppets and computer technology. Even with those plans, it sounds pretty damn expensive for a weekly series. Were we talking, say AMC, this could work for 6-13 episodes. But we'd, no doubt, be looking at 22 episodes a year were this is click with viewers.
I love the pairing (Should have been done back in 2003), but don't know if this is going to work.

I never liked the CGI Hulk and I'm glad they're probably going back to basics, I just wished they had gone that route for a movie because IMO that's one of the reasons people didn't care for them. Although fans seem stuck on him having to be this specific height (which is an obsession with every character).
