There is nothing, and i mean NOTHING, cooler than wall-crawling to a disco beat!
Lol, i was 11 or 12 years old when the original pilot first aired and i absolutely loved it. Looking back as an adult, the show sorely missed key elements such as the death of Uncle Ben, the lesson in responsibility, inclusion of supporting cast from the comics, and sadly, not a single classic Spidey rogue to be found...but at the time, just seeing Spider-Man in costume, sticking to walls, and (occasionally) web-slinging was the thrill of a lifetime.
Thus; this show will always have a place in my heart. :heart:
SpiderMan;12614328 said:I was so stoked when I saw the pic in the tv guide showing the Spider-man movie coming on that Wednesday night. I was 11 and had been collecting Spidey for about 2 years. I actually have an original vhs of the pilot. I just watched it a couple of weeks ago! Man, was it cheesy but ah, the memories!
BTW, Fred Waugh was the stuntman who did all the wallcrawling stuff. He climbed the ESB in one episode.
There is actually a scene from one episode I'd love to see. Peter is at a prison and a couple of the cons try to break out. He changes to Spidey and swings down onto the car! That shot was awesome! Someone had posted it on here a long time ago but I can't seem to find it. Anyone?
I remember that scene, but dont have a photo of it...
Yes, some of Spidey's villains may have translated well (the TV show reinterpreting one's motivation and look wouldnt have been too surprising either), while others probably wouldnt have worked at all. I could imagine a version of maybe Shocker in the show, but I cant see Doc Ock being deemed possible during that specific time frame and budget.Anyone else wonder just how cool the rouges would have looked on this show?
Agreed, I've loved all the clips I've seen from this show, too bad it hasn't been released on DVD yet, though.Nicholas Hammond was great as Peter Parker/Spider-Man! I enjoyed watching him play as Spidey.
Thanks for the heads up!Go to youtube, you can now watch complete episodes.
So far, the pilot episode has been posted.
And Con caper has also been posted.
