ABC Family is airing this Incredible Hulk episode as a part of its Legends Unite! A Marathon of Heroes block at 7:30 AM EST. Anyone gonna check it out?

I really enjoyed this episode. I don't know squat about Ghost Rider, but it didn't matter here, thought he worked great. Brilliant voice too, I believe he was also used in the brilliant Fantastic Four episode were they thought Galactus... can't be sure though

Hulk usually works well with guest stars, both in his own show and in others. Really enjoyable episode, although I liked the Iron Man one more.

Heh... Richard Grieco, from 21 Jump Street and the spinoff BOOKER plays the role of GR here...

Since ABC Family aired this yesterday, I figured I'd bump it for all to see. I think this episode is one of Hulk's better team ups. I thought there was a little corny stuff with Rick in there, but overall, a solid episode, arguably one of the series best.

Anyone watch this last night?

I did like this episode though I do not think it's one of the best. My favorite part is when you see the ring of fire and then hear a thud and Ghost Rider goes flying out. Basically he just got smacked by the Hulk!! It was a great scene.

[Spider-Man]

It's a bit of a gutsy move to have a character like Ghost Rider on a children's program. The character's history isn't exactly child-friendly and he's a pretty dark character. I was surprised at how true they were able to remain to his character though I would love to find out what inevitable problems they ran into to because of his history.

I hear this episode served as a backdoor pilot to a Ghost Rider series on UPN, before they deemed him too dark for Saturday morning TV. I noticed that the characters origin isn't touched upon here or his apperance in Fantastic Four. I take it it's pretty gruesome?

With a Ghost Rider movie coming next summer, there's a good chance we'll see him animated again soon. Just not on Saturday morning.

[Spider-Man]

With Ghost Rider being released today I couldn't help but put in this episode to watch again.

The Hulk is poisoned by a deadly new virus, which blurs the line between Friend and foe more for the already less than coherently manageable creature. His rampage prompts the summoning of the motorcycle riding vengeance demon Ghost Rider, as the Hulk's life slips away from him, it's up to Betty and Rick to convince Ghost Rider the creature is innocent
