			'''''The Amazing Spider-Man''''' was a short-lived live-action TV series which was based loosely on the popular Marvel comic book superhero '']'', which was originally aired in the ] from ]-]. To date, the entire series ran for about 14 episodes. Despite being produced by ]{{Fact\|date=March 2009}} (and the modern ] movies being produced by ]), none of the episodes have ever been released on ] and are currently not available on DVD as of today, while although, almost all of them have been released on ] which are now out of print.
	'''''The Amazing Spider-Man''''' is an American television series about the ] hero of the same name. It is the first ] ] featuring Spider-Man and was shown in the United States from September 19, 1977 to July 6, 1979.<ref>{{cite news\|title= Spider-Man on TV\|work= ]\|publisher=]\|date=May 3, 2007\|url= http://www.ign.com/2007/05/03/spider-man-on-tv?page=2\|accessdate=September 9, 2010}}</ref> Though it was a considerable ratings success, the CBS series was cancelled after just 13 episodes, which included a ] airing in autumn of 1977. Despite its storylines being set in ] (the character's hometown), the series was mostly filmed in ].
			The series supposedly took place entirely in ], although, it was actually filmed in ].

	==~~Cast~~ and ~~characters~~==		==Series Run on CBS and Criticism==
			]The series first aired as a 2-hour pilot episode film known simply as "Spider-Man". In the series' pilot episode, University student Peter Parker gains spectacular super powers after having been bitten by a radioactive spider and uses his newfound super spider powers to get a job at the Daily Bugle and try to stop a con man who is using some mind control technique. It is also noted that in the pilot, J. Jonah Jameson was played by actor ] and subsequently replaced with ] for the rest of the entire weekly series run.

	* ] (pilot) and ] (from episode 2) as ]

	* ] as Capt. Barbera (season 1)
	* ] as Julie Masters (season 2)

			At the time, ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' aired on the ] television network, it was along with other live-action television series oand movies based on several popular comic book superheroes including ], ], ] and ].
	]
	The only characters to appear regularly in both the television series and comics were Peter Parker/Spider-Man, ], and ].<ref name="back44"/> ] (played by ]) also appeared, but only in the ]. ], a scientist in the Marvel universe, makes a cameo in Wolfpack. A different actress played ] in each episode in which she appeared.

			The ''Amazing Spider-Man'' series had solid ratings throughout its run, but CBS was leery about being labeled as the "The Superhero Network" and many Spider-Man fans were also rather highly critical of the series<ref></ref> for the changes made to the comic book storyline and the lack of any real "]".
	In both these incarnations, J. Jonah Jameson's abrasive, flamboyant personality was toned-down, and the character was portrayed as more avuncular (though oftentimes still short-tempered).

			Also, to add insult to injury, Spider-Man co-creator ] was very disappointed and unhappy as he disliked the show and was even very vocal about his dissatisfaction with it. He had once said in an interview that he had felt that the series was rather "too juvenile" - a controversial statement given that his credit was as a script consultant on each episode of the show. According to him, the short-lived TV series was a one-dimensional show, although he has also stated that the production staff had done a very pretty well done job on a technical level.
	==Production==
	During the mid-1970s, ] publisher (and Spider-Man co-creator) ] sold CBS the rights to produce a prime time live-action Spider-Man series, to be helmed by producer Daniel R. Goodman. Veteran actor ] was cast in the lead role (though all of Spider-Man's stunts were performed by the series's stunt coordinator, Fred Waugh).<ref name="back44"/> Lee and Goodman fiercely clashed over the direction of the series during the initial production.<ref name="back44"/> Lee once said in an interview for ] that he felt the series was "too juvenile".<ref>''Pizzazz'', October 1978</ref>

			Although, despite some initial criticism of the series as far removed from the original source material, the show has thus so far featured the only live-action appearance of Peter Parker's handy-dandy Spider Tracer tracking devices to date, which were prominently featured in several episodes throughout in the short-lived TV series' run.
	The series began as a ]: a 90 Minute Movie known simply as '']'' which was broadcast on CBS TV network in September 1977, which was theatrically released internationally.<ref name="tg">{{cite news\|last1=McAloon\|first1=Jonathan\|title=Spider-Man on screen: a timeline\|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/spider-man-2017/peter-parker-actors-movies/\|accessdate=April 27, 2017\|work=The Telegraph\|date=June 24, 2015}}</ref> In it, Peter Parker (as an intrepid university student) gains super powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. He uses those powers to get a job at the Daily Bugle, and to stop a con man who is covertly using mind control for personal gain.

			As previously mentioned, and while with contrary to popular belief, ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' was ultimately cancelled not rather because of having poor or low ratings. In fact, the series performed fairly and solidly well in the ratings, but TV politics were also believed to have played a role in the show's cancellation as CBS executives apparently wanted to shed the network's image as to being labeled as "The Superhero Network," so they cancelled the show, along with ''Wonder Woman'' that followed short just after 2 years on later. However, ''The Incredible Hulk'' remained at the network until 1982, albeit with some significant budget cuts.
	The pilot garnered a 17.8 rating with a 30 share - CBS' highest rating for the entire year.<ref name="back44">{{cite journal\|last= Mangels\|first= Andy\|date= October 2010\|title= Spinning the Story of the Amazing Spider-Man\|journal= ]\|issue= 44\| pages= 44–48\|publisher= ]}}</ref> However, citing concern over the pilot's relatively weak ratings in the lucrative adult-demographic (ages 18–49),<ref name="back44"/> CBS picked up the series for only a limited, five-episode order (those 5 episodes were aired in April and May 1978, at the tail-end of the ]). This run of episodes debuted very well, with the first obtaining a 22.8 rating with 16.6 million viewers, making it the best-rated program for the week on CBS, and the eighth-best-rated program for the week, overall.<ref>{{cite news \|title=ABC Reclaims Lead in Ratings \|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yDZcAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1FUNAAAAIBAJ&pg=7115,1635438 \|work=Merced Sun-Star \|location=Merced, California \|date=April 12, 1978 \|agency=AP }}</ref> The series ended up being the 19th-highest-rated show of the entire season.

			]
	CBS took the more cautious approach of airing episodes on a sporadic basis, strategically placing it on the broadcast schedule to deliberately hurt the ratings of specific competing shows, at key times in the TV season (e.g. "]"). Former '']'' producer Lionel Siegel took over production duties for season two, noticeably changing the show in an attempt to grow its adult audience. These changes included dropping the Captain Barbera character; adding the character of Julie Masters as a love interest for Peter; creating more down-to-earth plotlines; and slightly toning-down Spider-Man's superpowers, to make him more accessible to adult viewers.<ref>{{cite news \|title=Return of the video Superheroes.\|url=https://archive.org/details/starlog_magazine-017 \|work=Starlog Page 50-51\|author=Richard Meyers \|date=October 1978 }}</ref>

			==Revival Attempts==
	]
			In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, 2 revival attempts of the series were reportedly made to recreate a new ''Amazing Spider-Man'' live-action television series. The first one would have had the original cast members of the series team up with the other cast from '']''<ref></ref> live-action television series as a joint crossover special.
	The second season (of just seven episodes) aired infrequently throughout the ].<ref>{{cite news \|title=Rivals Attending to 'Roots' Return \|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Cu4eAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cyQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4547,518146 \|work=The Time-News \|location=Hendersonville, NC \|date=September 5, 1978 \|agency=Washington Star Syndicate }}</ref> The series continued to do well in the ratings during its second season.<ref name="back44"/> However, CBS officially cancelled the series soon after the season ended. The chief reason for the cancellation was that CBS feared being perceived as merely a one-dimensional, superficial, "superhero network".<ref name="back44"/> It was already airing other live-action superhero series or specials at the time, including ], ] (which they resurrected after its original network, ], canceled it), ], ], and had just ended (in 1977) multi-year runs of live-action Saturday morning series for ]' ] and ] superheroes. Another problem was that in spite of the show's popularity, its most vocal fans were also highly critical of it,<ref></ref> due to the season two departures from more comic book-like storylines, and the lack of any recognizable "]" from the Spider-Man comics.

			This was all and originally part of a plan to have several television movies featuring the Incredible Hulk and other various ] characters teaming up as well as with 3 other superhero shows that had already been aired; the ] with ], the ] with ], while the supposedly announced ] unfortunately did not even appear in the ].
	<!-- Deleted image removed: ]{{deletable image-caption\|Sunday, 11 September 2016}}]] -->
	The series yielded the first live-action depictions of Peter Parker's "spider-tracer" tracking/homing devices; they are prominently featured in several episodes throughout the series.

			Reportedly, this first attempt finally fell through when ] had died of cancer in 1993. A second attempt would have been an entirely new series that had also been subsequently shelved in preproduction because the networks had then thought of and wanted to make Spider-Man into a freaking Man-Spider mutant.{{Fact\|date=August 2009}}

			The only characters besides Peter Parker to regularly appear in both the television series and in the comics were ] and ]. ] (played by ]) also appeared but only in the ].
	For their release in VHS format, several of the series's episodes were spliced together in pairs. For example, "Photo Finish Part 1 and Part 2" and "A Matter of State Part 1 and Part 2" were combined on one VHS tape and presented as a single movie-length episode. In order to smooth the jump between the two unrelated stories in each release, the production team filmed new bridging scenes set at the Daily Bugle and inserted them between the content of the two component episodes.<ref name="back44"/> These scenes were never broadcast, either in the series's original run or in any reruns.

			In both these incarnations, J. Jonah Jameson's abrasive, flamboyant personality was toned down and the character was portrayed as a little more avuncular figure.

The Amazing Spider-Man was a short-lived live-action TV series which was based loosely on the popular Marvel comic book superhero The Amazing Spider-Man, which was originally aired in the USA from 1976-1977. To date, the entire series ran for about 14 episodes. Despite being produced by Columbia Pictures Television (and the modern Spider-Man movies being produced by Columbia Pictures), none of the episodes have ever been released on DVD and are currently not available on DVD as of today, while although, almost all of them have been released on VHS which are now out of print. The series supposedly took place entirely in New York City, although, it was actually filmed in Los Angeles.

Series Run on CBS and Criticism

The series first aired as a 2-hour pilot episode film known simply as "Spider-Man". In the series' pilot episode, University student Peter Parker gains spectacular super powers after having been bitten by a radioactive spider and uses his newfound super spider powers to get a job at the Daily Bugle and try to stop a con man who is using some mind control technique. It is also noted that in the pilot, J. Jonah Jameson was played by actor David White and subsequently replaced with Robert F. Simon for the rest of the entire weekly series run.

At the time, The Amazing Spider-Man aired on the CBS television network, it was along with other live-action television series oand movies based on several popular comic book superheroes including The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, Captain America and Doctor Strange.

The Amazing Spider-Man series had solid ratings throughout its run, but CBS was leery about being labeled as the "The Superhero Network" and many Spider-Man fans were also rather highly critical of the series for the changes made to the comic book storyline and the lack of any real "supervillains".

Also, to add insult to injury, Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee was very disappointed and unhappy as he disliked the show and was even very vocal about his dissatisfaction with it. He had once said in an interview that he had felt that the series was rather "too juvenile" - a controversial statement given that his credit was as a script consultant on each episode of the show. According to him, the short-lived TV series was a one-dimensional show, although he has also stated that the production staff had done a very pretty well done job on a technical level.

Although, despite some initial criticism of the series as far removed from the original source material, the show has thus so far featured the only live-action appearance of Peter Parker's handy-dandy Spider Tracer tracking devices to date, which were prominently featured in several episodes throughout in the short-lived TV series' run.

As previously mentioned, and while with contrary to popular belief, The Amazing Spider-Man was ultimately cancelled not rather because of having poor or low ratings. In fact, the series performed fairly and solidly well in the ratings, but TV politics were also believed to have played a role in the show's cancellation as CBS executives apparently wanted to shed the network's image as to being labeled as "The Superhero Network," so they cancelled the show, along with Wonder Woman that followed short just after 2 years on later. However, The Incredible Hulk remained at the network until 1982, albeit with some significant budget cuts.

Shooting Spider-Man at Cal-Tech from "The Curse of Rava"

Revival Attempts

In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, 2 revival attempts of the series were reportedly made to recreate a new Amazing Spider-Man live-action television series. The first one would have had the original cast members of the series team up with the other cast from The Incredible Hulk live-action television series as a joint crossover special.

This was all and originally part of a plan to have several television movies featuring the Incredible Hulk and other various Marvel Comics characters teaming up as well as with 3 other superhero shows that had already been aired; the first with Thor, the second with Dare Devil, while the supposedly announced She Hulk unfortunately did not even appear in the third.

Reportedly, this first attempt finally fell through when Bill Bixby had died of cancer in 1993. A second attempt would have been an entirely new series that had also been subsequently shelved in preproduction because the networks had then thought of and wanted to make Spider-Man into a freaking Man-Spider mutant.

Cast and Crew

The only characters besides Peter Parker to regularly appear in both the television series and in the comics were J. Jonah Jameson and Aunt May. Joe "Robbie" Robertson (played by Hilly Hicks) also appeared but only in the pilot.

In both these incarnations, J. Jonah Jameson's abrasive, flamboyant personality was toned down and the character was portrayed as a little more avuncular figure.

Regular Cast

Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
David White as J. Jonah Jameson (pilot)
Robert F. Simon as J. Jonah Jameson (series)
Chip Fields as Rita Conway
Michael Pataki as Captain Barbera (pilot and first season only)
Ellen Bry as Julie Masters (second season only)
