I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Memorable, crazy movie

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I think that today's Spiderman animated series doesn't even come close to being as good as this. My mother says "the animation was bad but at least they had an excuse back then." When you're a little kid like that you tend not to care what other people think. I didn't really care what my mother thought at the time because she wasn't a little kid back then so how could she have possibly known about the animation of these films? I think to get a good enough prospective of it you have to see it through a young child's eyes. Seeing their favourite comic book super heroes coming to life right before their very eyes and wondering how did they do that? That's what this cartoon series has meant to me. I didn't really care one way or the other just how bad the animation was or how corny the jokes were. I just saw it as "it's Spiderman! Shut up and let me enjoy it" (Note that I never would have said that out loud when I was a kid but it was just something that I was thinking at the time.) Spiderman is probably one of my most favourite cartoon superheroes next to Wolverine from the X-Men but that's a different comment all together.

When I was a very small boy in the 1970s I used to love this show. That is because I had no taste. I recently purchased the box set because of nostalgia and it is really off-putting how bad the material is. In each 20 minutes or so of the program there are perhaps forty-five seconds of original animation. The vast majority of the show is stock animation repeated over and over, and, in the later episodes, stills that are manipulated (spun around, zoomed in on, etc.) In the earlier episodes the backgrounds are at least colorful, but in later episodes they get dark and inexplicably expressionistic. And why do the episodes introduce only three characters: Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson, and Betty Brant? What about Flash Thompson? Aunt May? -- There are dozens of potential characters that should have been introduced.Okay, now I have that out of my system...The music score is pretty cool, and while the show has its flaws, it captures something of the swinging attitude that "Smilin' Stan Lee" and "Jazzy Johnny Romita" brought to the early Spider-Man comics. --> NOT MUCH, but something. The "Spider Man and His Amazing Friends" show from the 80s is far superior, as are the cartoon shows from the 90s. It's too bad Marvel animation couldn't have come up with something of the quality and intelligence of the Batman Animated Series and its several spin- offs.

I grew up watching this series in the early 1970s, and I'm happy that someone finally placed them onto DVDs. The set of 6 discs is rather deep, with all the episodes filling the DVDs. It's rather thin on extras. But there are what, 3 hours per disc? And the episodes are in chronological order, from the first to the final episode. Some of the episodes weren't digitally remastered, as most seem to have been, but heck, when I compare them to the VHS tapes I used to purchase at comic book shows where the tapes were recorded from UHF stations yielding poor reception, I won't complain. I'm just glad they're here. For the price, it's plenty of bang for the buck.As for the episodes, Ralph Bakshi took over as producer midway through the run of the original episodes (his cartoons can be found about midway through the third DVD). Reading through postings on the net, people have said that Bakshi took over and operations moved from Canada to the US when it was cheaper then to produce the animation in the states... and some staff cutting was done while the episodes were still cranked out at a good pace. Hence, people claim, a good bit of regurgitation of characters and plot lines increased. FYI, the Canadian episodes had Spidey webbing in clear skies, while the Bakshi episodes introduced eerie, watercolored skies. I'm a visual guy, and love the vibrant tones. Plus, it seems as though the music picked up a lot with the change. I just "dig" the way the music sounded. You can even hear a musician yelp every now and then in some jam sessions. So, I can't go Bakshi bashing. Usually, it's the networks that trim budgets, and Bakshi, I feel, had to make due. He did the best he could, I think, and I bet that if the budget had been fat, Bakshi would have had the animators take time and add depth and detail.

This show was great with just about everything. The story follows very well to the comic books that started the web-slinger off. Okay, there are a few differences, like how the Green Goblin is more of a bank robber, or the whole new character/lacking character thing, and how they had common things happen like Pluto aliens and mole-men from what I hear, but this IS a DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, therefore those aren't mistakes or whatever. The animation even I wouldn't say is the BEST example, like with repeating scenes and limitations, but it was good for it's time. Don't listen to the posters who said it's even worse than the ones made at the same time, it's actually much more comfortable to watch than most of the shows that are on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, I'd rather watch this Spider-Man series than Pokemon, to be honest. Especially since Pokemon has been obliterated of potential since it multiplied into all sorts of insidious variations, just like Power Rangers. Good thing Garfield, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers have known where the fine line is and usually avoid crossing it.The theme song is the original and great, just like with Ninja Turtles. The animation is quite reminiscent to ones like Scooby Doo and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. I only saw four episodes of this, since I manage to get them as the bonus episodes on the '94 series videos/DVDs. The Origin of Spider-Man, King Pinned, The Triumph of Dr. Octopus, and Magic Malice were all done very well though. Quite interesting that one of the producers was Ralph Bakshi, who also did the animated Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movies (aside from the live action ones by Peter Jackson).Bottom Line: All in all, this is a series worth searching for. There's also a '67 series, which looks good put has quite a price on your wallet, but if you have the money, you shouldn't regret it!
