Product Description

Product Description

Here they are -- all 52 episodes of Spider-Man's original 1967 classic television series, now completely restored in full color and bursting with spectacular Spidey action! Experience every amazing moment of Spider-Man's first appearance on TV in the animated series that electrified Saturday morning audiences from 1967-1970. Featuring the Web-Slinger's greatest foes, including Dr. Octopus, The Green Goblin, Mysterio, The Rhino, Dr. Magneto, and so many more.

Amazon.com

Eight years before Tobey Maguire was born, the animated Spider-Man spun his first web across America's television screens. The program ran from 1967 through 1970 on ABC, and imprinted its theme song, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man/ Does whatever a spider can / Spins a web, any size / Catches thieves--just like flies" on a generation of viewers.

The comic book Spider-Man, who debuted in Marvel's Amazing Fantasy in 1962, epitomized the superhero as antihero. During his battles with bizarre villains, Peter Parker was beset by self-doubts and personal problems. The animated Spider-Man was a straightforward action superhero who was too busy performing weird stunts like fashioning a boat and motor out of spider webs to worry or agonize.

From the opening titles that announce the program is "in COLOR," Spider-Man feels dated. When he fights Electro, Spidey can fend off blasts of electricity because he's added "just a little asbestos to my web liquid"; when he discovers the extent of his new powers, Peter dreams of a spot on The Ed Sullivan Show. Although the directors include Ralph Bakshi and former Disney artist Clyde Geronimi, the animation is extremely limited. The same shots of Spiderman swinging over New York appear again and again. But these limits probably won't trouble nostalgic adults who grew up watching Spider-Man on Saturday mornings: "Wherever there's a hang-up / You'll find the Spider-Man!" (Unrated, suitable for ages 7 and older: cartoon violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Appreciating Old School Spidey, not for Everyone
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2005

I'm old school to the hilt. Spider- Man, the original... I've hunted VHS tapes for years to only find those taped in EP (or SLP) directly from a UHF station in Philadelphia, and I was charged a premium at a comics show years ago. Now, original Spidey's on DVD! All of the original episodes, finally. Several episodes aren't cleaned up as well as others, but after watching the old VHS tape that was probably a 4th generation copy, why be so picky. Spiderman fans from the 60s will love this. Revisit it.

The DVDs are numbered one to 6, and the episodes burned on each disk are in the same order as they were broadcast. Because the first 2 disks and the first half of the third were done by another company, I'm not as fond of the artwork or music that accompanied those episodes as the ones when Ralph Bakshi took over. I understand that he caught some heat from people who felt that he oversaw alot of regurgitating scenes and even whole episodes as the series continued. But he took over when budget cutbacks forced the producers to step away from the previous animation group. Bakshi did what he could with the budget he was given and the time to produce them in. Some even slammed Bakshi for not following the comics for the stories. But to me, Baksi's episodes are the most fun! Look at the color and the types of creatures Krantz animation produced, and how sinister the episodes seemed. Before I knew what other said about these, I felt like I was on some kind of mental trip with the colors and music. All the arch rivals wind up wanting to rule the world (or swamps and even an island) and talk about making slaves of the people. And check how many times Spidey talks about hallucinations in the Bakshi cartoons. Spidey even falls into a bed of mushrooms in at least one toon!

The DVDs are very sparse in any extras, except for the "In Color" lead they played for each episode, but each DVD is around 3 hours, they say. It gets old seeing the lead- in and end credits for each of the -- what -- over 50 episodes? But they are keeping the cartoons in their original content, and not changing voices or other sounds, like the original music.

About the original music... I had thought that the episodes done by Krantz animation were the first ones, probably because one of them was "The Origin of Spider- Man." The artwork seemed so much more involved and in- depth, and the music seemed more expansive. What incredible music, by Ray Ellis and Bob Harris. Everyone knows the theme music, but I want you to try that gorgeous, rich, full background music they jammed, especially in disk 4 and the least half of disk 3, just to get a feel of how they must have loved doing those jam sessions! WOW. The sound is mono (the original sound was), but the music fills your spirit. Try the background jams to Molemen and Neptune's Nose Cone (my favorite) in DVD #4.

The story line seemed so weak by the 6th DVD. I don't remember all these episodes in the reruns I watched. But the decision to release these DVDs is outstanding. I'm happy to have this, finally.

I only wondered, what in the world did my parents ever think about the cartoon series when they walked by the TV set to see all the weird scenes, monsters and green- faced enemies, along with all those comments about hallucinations?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes at times it gets repetitious, but it's classic anyway!!

Oh boy! When I watched ALL of the SPIDERMAN episodes of 1967 after watching them on You Tube, I watched them in order all the way to the episode on the last disc which was the REVOLT IN THE FIFTH DIMENSION!! This next to last episode in the series is both the best and the weirdest episode of the whole show! Spidey is thinking," Man what a beautifull night for seeing stars!" when suddenly a meteor comes crashing down and it's not a meteor but a tiny spaceship, occupied by a tiny visitor from another world!

The mini man told Spidey that the knowledge of his world is in danger of going extinct thanks to the all knowing figure of the 5th dimension! Spidey takes it on himself to rescue the mission and make sure the knowledge of the 5th dimension gets into the right hands! Can Spidey keep the knowledge out of the all seeing 5th dimention monster! STAY TUNED!!

This episode is one of a long line of episodes of the first and best of the 1967 SPIDERMAN episodes series! The first season of episodes centers around J.JONAH JAMESON and his attempts to catch Spiderman up to know good! J.J never falters in his misguided belef that Spiderman is a villain rather then a hero! Only Peter Parker knows for sure since he and Spiderman are one and the same!

Whether it's dealing with Electro, evading Vulture, or catching Green Goblin our wondrous webhead is always on the alert to catch these bad guys! The first season episodes have two 10 min episodes shown back to back while later episodes(including the 5TH DIMENSION episode) take a full 20 min!! These longer episodes are directed by Ralgh( Wizards, Lord of the Rings) Bakshi and whether it's this 1967 Spiderman series or THE MIGHTY HEROES parody show Bakshi is much more at home doing series television than feature length films! The last disc has a large amount of repetion as the series creaters just fill up airtime but REVOLT IN THE 5TH DIMENSION is also on the last disc so that kind of makes up for it!!

After many differant voices. it's Paul Soles as the famous webslinger that makes for the most appealing Spiderman!! When he's in his Peter Parker alter ego and conversing with Betty Bryant at the Daily Bugle he is completly convinsing and in spite of the economgal repeats of reused animation(Parker changing to Spiderman, Spiderman swinging from building to building over and over!) he is entertaining throughout! After all the movies, this FIRST tv series is still the best! As the theme song says it! " Life is a great big hang up, when ever theres a hang up, you'll find the Spiderman!"

I've been looking for this collection for years and I am happy to have stumbled upon it!

For some reason Disney plus does not have this collection on its service even though that its owned by them? Maybe there is another licenced owner? Anyways They did an amazing job remastering this series. It looks HD! Even though its on DVD!

Comes with a little pamphlet with a blurb from Stan and an episode list!

This Series is out of print and rare to find, so honestly spend the money and get it here.

Watching this show brought back some great memories and now I get to relive my childhood!

Bon coffret et bonne série de cartoon qui met en vedette le héros le plus populaire de Marvel. Quand j'avais 6 ou 7 ans c'était toujours une joie d'écouter ces cartoons en me levant le matin à 07:00.Les 2 premiers dvd de cette série sont très bons et humoristiques. Par contre les 2 derniers dvd qui comprennent la 3 ie saison sont absolument ennuyants et pénible à regarder.....certains épisodes sont des épisodes de Robin Fusée (Rocket Robin Hood)modifiés et adaptés en Spiderman. Les derniers épisodes sont des amalgames d'épisodes antécédents, produits ainsi soit par manque de budget, de temps ou de talent.
