Such a humble gentleman. He was taken far too early from us. Rest in peace bill.
Highly intelligent man! I was so shocked and saddened when he died. I love me some Incredible Hulk!
He died the same year as my mum died of cancer and I was nearly as sad as his death.

What an amazing man and actor I miss him so much
The Same Here About Bill Bixby RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔!
Grew up watching Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno and I'm only 22. I have some awesome childhood memories of watching the awesome hulk tv series. To me no other hulk actors come close to Bixby and Ferrigno. Respect .
Imagine being a 7-year-old waiting with anticipation for the pilot episode to air that Friday night, and then every Friday night thereafter. Good times.
I'm 61yearsold Now And I Agree With All Of About Bill Bixby And LouFerrigno RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔!
So you grew up in the 70s and you're still 22 in 2019? Ok then. 😄
@@jeanbaumgartner4052 You're 61?? What's wrong with you? You post like a teenager in heat! I thought you were 14.

They seem so happy. It is terrible to know what will happen to them.
It's so sad and unfair.
VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR 😕 😞 😪 😔 😐 😒 😕 😞 😪 😔 😐 😒 😕 😞 😪 😔 FOR ALL THREE OF THEM!
I love Bill Bixby what a legend he was. Dr. David Bruce Banner is one of my favourite characters in The Incredible Hulk. I love his sense of fashion in the show, 70s very stylish and fashionable. Those shirts, bellbottom jeans, cowboy boots. And the coat that he wears. Also the brown vintage leather bag. That he carry's over his shoulder. He looks so cool I also like his voice. He's got a brilliant voice.
RIP Bill Bixby
What an Absolute Legend 🙂 🙏❤️
This has to be the weirdest post I've ever read about TIH! Fashion, seriously? There was no fashion in that show, the costumes were crap, just run of the mill Kmart finds.
The Courtship of Eddie's Father - one of the loveliest family series ever made!🤗💖
Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 Bill Bixby!
STOP agreeing with everyone: they're putting Bixby down and you're agreeing with that!? Calm down. Slow down. READ and digest before you reply to people. You even replied to the guy posting in Italian without knowing what he wrote!
Thanks for uploading this. It's 'Tv gold', 'cos I wouldn't have seen it the first time round but it is a good way to see that Bill being Bill is as watchable as when he is in character.
So True 👍 👌 😢 👏 🙌 😄 👍 👌 😢 👏 🙌 😄!

it was amazing how the interviewer didn't acknowledge Brenda until Bill had to get her in the conversation 5 minutes into it.
Or bill didn't even introduce his wife..how rude.
@@sirtedricwalker2979 yes

Bill Bixby RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔 !
I kept wondering through the interview if Bix had ever worn that shirt in character. He said in a separate interview that he dressed up on the show like he did in real life so he didn't feel like he was going to work. Hence, the casual Western shirts, cowboy boots, and jeans or slacks.
As a kid watching THE INCREDIBLE HULK, I was always impressed with Bill's "WESTERN LOOK."👍
RIP MR. BIXBY AND MS. BENÉT

Sad what happened to this family. 😔
There's definitely tension and uneasiness on Brenda's end. They're not sitting close, not holding hands. When Bill touches her at 6:53 she kinda makes a face. Im guessin they were havin problems by this point.
The only son that they were talking about, died shortly after this interview while in her custody and he blamed her for it. She then commited suicide.
@@bobblueford Yes, it was a year after this interview that the child died, and then a year after that for Brenda. He soldiered on for 13 years after this and worked until 6 days before he died. It's sad she was so delicate as to not go on.
@@bobblueford It's awful ! How can we live normally after such events ?
It's not surprising that a cancer get spread within him.
God bless their soul.
Problems? Yeah, they were already divorced by this point, as Bixby pointed out if you were paying attention. Apparently it was a rough process, though they tried to get along for their son's sake; they even collaborated on a Hulk episode the year this interview was done. It's truly sad and tragic how it all would come completely undone within two short years, with Christopher's death and Brenda's suicide. Bill Bixby, from what I understand, never fully recovered from it.

mi distrugge sapere cosa accadde alla loro vita, rest in peace Christopher Brenda and Bill!
I!Agree With You About This One About Bill Bixby And His Family 👪 RIP ✨ 🙌 PHYSICALY!
I always thought the cost of the series is why it didn't last longer. The Hulk still had a couple of years left in it.
Did it though?? Really?!
@@DistantCousin REALLY!
"The Incredible Hulk" was almost as expensive as "Battlestar Galactica".
The book "Soap Opera Babylon" said that while on DAYS Benet "fought bitterly with one castmate and had an adulterous affair with another." Probably a woman. (From a soap webpage) That means she was stepping out on Bill.
Ruhe in Frieden Bill, Christopher und Brenda Bixby!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello interviewer, she was a star as well
Brenda knew him in '62 way before their marriage.
Actually Right!
Bill got all the career questions. Brenda got all the domestic questions. Ouch.
The Interviewer!Should Have Asked Brenda About Her TV!CARRER!Also!DEFINITELY OUCH!
Brenda appeared on "Days of Our Lives", at the time.
Bill Bixby was a natural interviewee, .
Bill Bixby Has A Great Since Of Humor TOO 🤣 😄 😆 😀 🙄 😂!
A lot of the excellent actors back then and before had a great sense of humanity and tried to apply that into their work. Then it became the opposite.
Bix was on the verge of divo rce here.
Yeah very unhappy time and she looks uncomfortable😳
Actually Right!
Thanks for this. Sad story for this humble man. Notice how far Brenda is sitting away from Bill?
Still, they couldn't air out their differences and choose to divorce.
@Xcuze I don't think so. We can feel there is a cold between them.
Bill is trying to change things while this interview.
@Xcuze And then she started dating another woman,she was bi sexual
@@francoherrera1265 Tammy Bruce
Thanks For Sharing These Infos With Us About Bill Bixby And His Family 👪 ❤ 🙄 💙 🙏 🙌!
PORQUE FALAM ENROLADOS?
I just came across Her from watching fox news she dated Tammy Bruce. She is really pretty, so sorry about her son too sad.
So Sad 😞 😔 😟 🙁 😥 😿 About Their Son!Julie Nielsen!
Brenda looks troubled here.... insecure maybe, but certainly not relaxed for someone so used to the cameras. R.I.P Both x
Griffomedia she killed bill and then offed herself.
Some performers only come "alive" while on stage/camera and can be rather shy in person.
The poor woman had issues. So sad that she didn't go for help.
Larry Medina no she did not
@@williammills5597 The woman lit candles on the bathroom floor and laid down on a rug and shot herself in the mouth, what do you mean no she didn't.
Body language doesn't lie look how hand like pushing her away...
Actually Right!
And now that immediate family is no more.
"I don't know what i blundered into but it could be the natural outgrowth of all our research. We have to try and make it happen again so we can observe it here,in a laboratory situation where we can control it".
He sounds like Dr. David banner
exacly i love it makes him more authentic makes me think of him as david
@@fallthefox699 yes
Actually Right About Bill Bixby As David Banner And As!Himself 😀 👍 🙌 🙏 👏 😊 😀 👍 🙌 🙏 👏 😊!
Does anyone know the exact date of this interview? Were Bill and Brenda divorced at this time? They seemed like a great couple. And happy.
Didn't Bill Bixby wear that shirt he was wearing on the show?
Looks like the shirt he wore during first hulkout in Broken Image.
Bill wore the same clothes on show then as he did in his offtime. I read in an interview once where he was asked about his wardrobe and he said he wore the same clothes on camera as off because then he felt like he wasn't working.
Huh, I never knew that.
Yeah i think it is.
Yes indend
Nice video I always love bill bixby I'm glad I met him and got to know him but didn't care to much of Breda benet I liked his second wife Laura Jane michals better but that is my opinion. Virginia s
Thanks For Sharing This Info With Us About Bill Bixby As Himself!
His second wife did him wrong, BIG TIME!!! HE FOUND OUT THAT HIS CANCER HAD RECURRED!!
This woman had no concept of what the Incredible Hulk was about, she seems to think the Hulk punched in mother's and babies faces. Did she even watch a show or just deduced from looking at a poster? Bill tediously tries to explain to her on a few occasions and she is still baffled.
Actually Right!
Don't make him angry😡
Who is this woman interviewing ? And that hair style 😅
It's a pity that there 4 or more channels currently airing several of Michael Landon's shows and none of Bill Bixby's! Why? (The dreadful H2H, LHOTP and Bonanza) I find Landon a despicable character meanwhile Bixby's Hulk is never ever aired. 30+ years and nothing on any channel on TV. Why?
Kulk
Hulk
Aside from the Hulk, Bixby starred in a few flops. The Magician being one of them.
Bill wife was caught eating out Tammy Bruce .
She got depressed hit the bottle . Shot her head off
you wouldnt like him when hes angry
Actually Right!
Too bad he didnt live long enough to go to Dragon con
Actually Right About Bill Bixby As Himself!
Brenda benet was gorgeous
This is very sad watching Brenda marginalised in this interview. At this point she had been in literally dozens of guest roles in prime time TV, yet hardly acknowledged here, put on the spot, having to defend herself without much help from Bixby, who's talking, talking, talking about himself. It was unfair and hurtful of the interviewer to ignore her this way.
He ignored his wife.
She shouldn't have done the interview with him. No respect for her.
Well the point of the comment is the interviewer could have acknowledged his wife Brenda and welcomed her to the show.
She's as much as an actor as he is!
Go away from comments dude and get a life you bozo moron 🤡 💩
She was a nobody! who watches soaps but grannies and the convalescent?! She was a pernnial guest star otherwise. Not anything to look at nor sneeze at!
What business did she have marrying him when she didn't even like men!? Which is probably why she did what she did to Chris in Mammoth Lakes.
Within just a couple of years, they were divorced, their son died of a rare throat infection, Brenda started a lesbian relationship with Tammy Bruce, and Brenda killed herself. Bill would have two more brief marriages shortly before he died of cancer 11 years after Brenda's death.
AAAH BRUCE!! IT'S BRUCE BANNER!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
It wasn't on the show
Actually Right!Eq!
Horrible question at 6:39. It insinuated that Bill was so much more of a star than her that it might cause problems. The question itself, probably caused problems.
Just more HOLLYWOOD sewer.
So True!
rest in peace bill such wow
