DAVID/BRUCE BANNER

When I was a kid I loved the 70s INCREDIBLE HULK TV show (still do, actually!). But I was always bummed that they changed Bruce Banner's name to "DAVID". Years later I found out the name was changed because Universal thought "Bruce" sounded "too gay". (Bah!)

Well, upon rewatching the pilot episode today, I noticed his gravestone says "David BRUCE Banner". Sweet, atleast they put it in there somewhere.

How I missed that before is beyond me. Hmm, probably because I was too young to read when watching the show backwhen and they never(?) said his full name. Anyway, just thought I'd share.
