Network: ABC
First Episode Aired: 1967 – 1970
Episode Length: 25 minutes

The series revolves around the scientific-minded teenager Peter Parker who, after being bitten by a radioactive spider, develops amazing strength and spider-like powers. He decides to become a crime-fighting, costumed superhero; all the while dealing with his personal problems and the insecurities resulting from being a teenager. Spider-man risks his life to fight super-powered criminals such as Mysterio and the Green Goblin; however Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson views him as a criminal and is continually writing front page headlines declaring him as such.
The first season of the show dealt primarily with Peter working at the Daily Bugle as a teenage freelance photographer, thereby capturing his relationship with the gruff, demanding J. Jonah Jameson and shyly romancing Betty Brant over the reception desk, while Peter was often being called into action as his crime-fighting alter-ego. Peter's life away from the Bugle's newspaper offices and Aunt May's Forest Hills home were almost never dealt with in these early episodes, and he was also never seen at college—although he would sometimes visit various professors he clearly knew (such as the opening of "Sub-Zero for Spidey," where he went to see a professor by the name of "Smarty"). Still, the character design for young Parker was spot-on, combining the conceptualizations of both Steve Ditko (right down to the primary-colored blue suit, white shirt, and red tie) to John Romita Sr., who served as a consultant for the show.

Season 1 contained mostly stories involving classic Spider-Man villains from the comic book series (whose captures were often punctuated by a note signed "your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man"). The Ralph Bakshi whelmed Seasons 2 and 3 almost entirely eliminated villains from the comic book, choosing to instead have Spider-Man face generic magical villains and monsters.
