Since 1994,
when the original INCREDIBLE HULK television series FAQ went live,
I've been asked thousands of times if I'd be willing to dub Hulk
episodes for people around the world. Initially, I often honored
some of these requests but the situation got out of hand and forced
me to rethink my policy on dubbing episodes.
There were a couple of reasons for this decision. First, I just
couldn't keep up with the volume. There were some weeks where a
dozen people asked me if I'd dub episodes for them and an increasing
number of people asked me if I would give them every single episode
ever made! By honoring such requests, I'd be spending all of my
free time dubbing episodes of THE INCREDIBLE HULK and I really didn't
want to do that. The second reason was because people weren't always
good about holding up their end of the bargain. I have made customized
tapes of Hulk episodes for people, only to find out that they never
sent a tape back to me. Or, there have been cases where the tapes
they agreed to send were missing the content that they agreed
to send me. The third reason had to do with the expense involved.
Trading tapes can get expensive after a while - especially when
international postage gets involved. It didn't help that many people
wanted to trade for little things that wouldn't even fill a tape.
As a rule, I do not dub episodes of THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
If I do agree, it's only under these conditions.
1. I do not sell episodes of THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Please
don't even ask. I only trade for things that I don't have.
2. I can only make NTSC copies of my episodes and I can only
view NTSC video tapes, so if you live outside of Canada or the United
States, I probably can't trade with you as I don't have the ability
to record or view SECAM or PAL tapes. Also, I do not want video
CD versions of anything to be watched on a computer, nor do I want
to make them.
3. I must receive your tape before I'll send out mine. I
realize this may not seem fair but I've been burned too many times
to agree to anything otherwise.
4. I will only trade one video tape at a time. Please don't
ask me if I'll tape the entire series. There are 80+ episodes of
THE INCREDIBLE HULK and the time involved plus the costs of tapes
and shipping would be huge.
5. If we agree to trade, the transaction time must be agreed
upon beforehand. I've been in situations where someone arranged
a trade with me and then didn't send any emails for more than a
year! The individual was furious when, after a year had passed (and
I'd collected the things that he'd offered me on my own), that I
didn't want to trade anymore. This was despite the fact that more
than a year had passed between our emails!
6. If we agree to trade, it must be for a full six hours worth
of material - with both my tape and yours filled with material
from end to end. It's too expensive to continuously to participate
in trades over a single 1/2 hour cartoon. I may be willing
to bend, depending on how much content you have to trade AND how
much I want what you have to trade. But, as a rule, I'm probably
not going to agree to trade if you only have one half-hour cartoon
of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. It's just too expensive.
Right now, I will only trade for a few specific things
that I'm looking for. They are as follows:
* Blue Water,
White Death (1971 documentary on the Great White Shark)
* Spider-Man
and his Amazing Friends episodes - "Quest of the Red Skull"
* Fantasy Island
Episodes - "The
Vampire"
* MAGNUM P.I. - "Resolutions" (part I and part II)
* DR TERRIBLE'S HOUSE OF HORRIBLE - most episodes
* THE EQUALIZER: "Mission: McCall", "Memories of Manon", "The
Mystery Of Manon" and most other episodes.
