Stan Lee told Kenneth Plume on a June 26, 2000 interview, ""The Hulk" was done intelligently. It was done by Ken Johnson, who's a brilliant writer/producer/director, and he made it an intelligent, adult show that kids could enjoy. He took a comic book character and made him somewhat plausible. Women liked it and men liked it and teenagers liked it ... It was beautifully done. He changed it quite a bit from the comic book, but every change he made, made sense."
