Mindless television, like The Hulk? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thickset

'like the hulk?' is the definition.
(the Hulk is a muscular superhero)

'mindless television' is the wordplay.
'mindless' becomes 'thick' (both can mean stupid).
'television' becomes 'set' (I've seen this in other clues).
'thick'+'set'='THICKSET'

(Other definitions for thickset that I've seen before include "Compact" , "sturdy" , "Strapping" , "Concentrated" , "Heavily built" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
