The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Factual error: When the Hulk jumps up and grabs on to the tail of the helicopter, he is somehow able to hang on to the tail while spinning the helicopter in a circle. Helicopters require a certain weight distribution in order to maintain stabilized flight. Someone of the Hulk's size and strength wouldn't be able to just hang on to the tail and spin the helicopter. He instead would bring the helicopter crashing down.

Continuity mistake: When Banner is strapped to the chair and trying to resist transforming into the Hulk, the extent to how much he has transformed varies. Some shots will show his hands and head becoming larger, and the next shot will show him to instantly be back to normal proportions.

Other mistake: When Talbot is grilling Banner for his relationship with Betty, when Banner is saying "Someone like you perhaps," the screen briefly constricts and then expands back to normal size, similar to a window on a computer screen being maximized.

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

Answer: I believe it was mentioned in an issue of Wizard Magazine that the show was cancelled because of low ratings, and reportedly the show's creative shift in the second season had a part to play in the low ratings, as the changes alienated fans.
