It was always a very unique experience for me watching reruns of this show cause obviously by today’s animation standards there are things about it that haven’t held up but it still kinda holds up in the weirdest of ways the biggest one being because it was the 60s I think there’s something so pure and genuine about it even if the characters themselves were pretty flat

“Obviously” nothing. Saying that “there are things about it that haven’t held up” is a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how it represents the era it was made in, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection, and considering that “today’s animation standards” are unreasonably high and overly critical, living up to them is just not worth it.

Honestly, I think that Season 2 is the best series of the show. I like how Bakshi tried to stay true to the kind of struggles Spider-Man had to face as a character while trying to work around budget issues

Me too. Remember, animation is a visual as well as auditory medium. And also brings in the contemporary pop culture of music of its time.

I think the saddest part of this is definitely how the experience of working on this show ruined Bakshi's love for the character full stop. It's hard to imagine these days with the over 60 year history of Spider-Man, but I guess back in the late 60's when Spidey was still a fairly new character it was easier to write him off, especially when you're already an adult and thus don't have childhood nostalgia tied to the property like Bakshi was. He was just a young man who enjoyed the comics and wanted to get his foot in the animation industry working on a show adapting said comics. And this was the outcome of that: a pitiful end to a show that pretty much had no real chance from the outset, and a life long resentment of the character. Like you said Pup, I couldn’t imagine what I would be like without Spider-Man being such an important part of my childhood and still well into my adult life. Not even the lowest lows of the mainline ASM comics post One More Day (including the terrible current run by Zeb Wells) would make me want nothing to do with the webhead again *period*.

The Superman cartoons were cinematic quality on a cinematic budget with an assembly line of animators rotoscoping their frames. TV still hasn’t proven profitably enough for that kind of budget (although Warner Bros in the 90s is one of the best modern examples). Cartoons on TV were still a bit of a novelty. The best examples were cinematic shorts that were repurposed for TV. Original content was still emerging, so that’s where Spider-Man fits in terms of animation history.

Not necessarily bingeable and it doesn't really hold up even by 60s cartoon standards, but it retains a fun appeal imo. I just love the aesthetic of animation of that era, even if it's bottom tier, lol.

When I first saw this show back in the '70's, I fell in love with "Spider-Man!" I just really enjoyed the superhero and his stories, I'll admit there were a few that I didn't. But what I really enjoyed was the villains he fought, but mainly the ones in season 2, with psychicdellic skies and the background footage. Plus, the music too. This animation was used from the cartoon series, "Rocket Robin Hood," and I understand it was very popular! That is what pretty much why I love this version Spidey more than I did the future shows that came years later.🕷️🤟🕸️

The background music was one of the memorable aspects of the show that gave a real feeling of excitement, and perhaps the best for any animated show. The voice acting was a good fit too that was well done.

Not with that attitude, circus act.

It's really fascinating that both the comics and on-screen media of Spider-Man costumes have subtle, yet distinctive details on each of them. That being said, I think I have an idea on how the 1967 Spider-Man suit could be adapted or referenced in the modern media. I can imagine the lack of the webbings on the torso could be that it's a rushed job of an experimental body armor that Peter had no time to engrave its webbing details, so he just straight out wore it with his regular mask, gloves and boots. But over time, the design grew on him and he just left it at that. 😆

This show is what made me a fan of the character. I watched the syndicated re-runs when I was very small and grew up with them. As "dated" and "cheesy" as the animation was, it's still a classic. For the longest time, I'd read the comic and imagine every line in Paul Soles voice. In both iterations of the show, some of the voice acting was truly epic, especially with the villains. Doctor Octopus, The Lizard and Mysterio were especially creepy. This version of Spider-Man more than any other was the most memorable to me.

One episode from this series that I really remember and really LOVED was "Revolt in the Fifth Dimension". Now I'd like to see its original version from "Rocket Robin Hood", "Dementia 5"!

Loved watching every minute of this. Keep up the good work ❤

i love the series i honestly have no complains and i do not mind the usage of previous clips, this was the 1960's and also they were in a budget

The thing is its totally different thing looking back at these cartoons as an adult, and seeing them as they were originally intended . For young children The comics were intended for an older group. Especially Marvel comics. They were more grounded and humanizing and more mature. Where these cartoons are purely meant for 5 to 10 yr olds. Sure the Fleischers did amazing work with Superman over 20 yrs earlier. But those were movie shorts, not a daily, or even weekly show. And they had much bigger budgets. By contrast the Superman cartoons of the 60s were much more on par with the Spiderman cartoons than the Fleischers. As kids watching these I can assure you we never noticed any difference between the Fleischers shorts and the later cartoons. We didn't notice things that we as adults today would notice. Like pacing, or recycled scenes. Once we got a little older our tastes changed. I remember the old Superfriends cartoons from the late 70s and early 80s. And they were great. Viewing them now its easy to spot mistakes, and blemishes. But as an 8yr old eating cereal on Saturday mornings they were the best. Today technology and computer graphics can almost spoil you in watching these types of shows. But back in the dark ages ( when I grew up) cartoons and Superheros were intended for children.

The jazzy music ( season 1) and the different music and psychedelic backgrounds of season 2 (it WAS the late 60s) made it fun to watch. Season 3 is an aquired taste. I have them on DVD. The animation can't compare to today's stuff, but sometimes it's good to go back and enjoy it for what it was. Spidey's dialogue and Paul Sole's voice change-ups were also a plus.

Although a lot of what you say may be true, to a kid, this was the definitive Spider-Man! I most likely watch this in the early 70s in syndication, but I also had the comic books. I don't remember which came first for me, but I think it was the TV show. Loved the soundtrack. The wisecracks and remember fondly the witching hour episode as Halloween-ish and spooky... and that last trippy episode I kind of didn't get either.

I think the sixty's cartoon, is really nice cartoon that sadly was good entertainment for children and adults even families for everyone back in the day. I do enjoy this retrospectives

Pup talking in an American accent is something I'm not sure how I feel about

I love everything about this show despite some of its flaws. It's both charming and most importantly FUN. I do understand the criticisms with the Web-Swinging montages that padded out the episodes (particularly in seasons 2 and 3) but the 60s beat music that played over those scenes made them enjoyable, that's a personal preference of course, but I was entertained none the less. I even enjoy the atmospheric artwork used for the skies in season two, I think it would have worked better for night scenes while keeping any daylight moments with the blue skies of season one. One of my favorite episodes is actually "Revolt in the 5th Dimension" as it actually scared me when I was a child watching this in 1978. It plays a lot differently to me now as an older man, but I still enjoy the moody aspect of episode and I can see that there is a germ of a great horror story in this episode's concept that just needs some serious thought to put it together, whether or not it has Spider-Man in it is irrelevant, the horror/Sci-Fi concept can still work. I personally would love to see this series revamped, keep the same character designs style, but with slight tweaking to the character designs (8-legged spider) improved animation, with the combination of the atmosphere of seasons 1 & 2, and introduced supporting characters and villains of Spider-Man's rogues gallery from the 70s up until the late 80s with Venom, even throwing in some OG created baddies (and some from the green skin variety). I honestly want NONE of the 90s to present day comics being in this hypothetical series.

I think about the theme song every time I comment “Spider-Man” This is because Pop Pop used to sing that song whenever he saw Spider-Man films.

Good video man,I like the 67 theme song,and some of the episodes,but it hard to sit through. I prefer the 90s animated series and spectular series.

Still waiting on a blu ray release

The 90s cartoon is obviously the far better cartoon that actually does something with the quality than just show the same piece of footage over and over. The 90s cartoon with its early cgi buildings made the web slinging scenes fun to watch again

Sort of like the 60’s batman…. Campy but rockin!

I just learned why the show does use Chameleon or Kraven. They had both been used in the Marvel Super Heroes show the previous year, and Spider-Man didn’t have the rights for them, hence Charles Cameo and Harley Clivedon. Even then, rights were a mess, which is why the X-Men were the heroes of a Namor episode based on Fantastic Four Annual 3 (Reed and Sue's wedding!). Hanna-Barbera held the rights to the Fantastic Four and in their show, they have a Namor stand-in named Prince Triton, not to be confused with the Inhuman Triton, ahhhhhhh.

One instance of über-cheap-o reuse of earlier stories that I am surprised not to see represented here comprises three episodes that are identical in almost every respect except for the use of three different villains: the Master Technician, the Radiation Specialist, and Dr. Atlantean. Actually, these were not different villains so much as the same villain with different names. In Dr. Atlantean's case, he had a kind of fin-like crest atop his head-a slight difference-not to mention that instead of using nuclear power to tear Manhattan from its bedrock and lift it up into the air, Dr. Atlantean covered it with a giant bubble and sunk it beneath the Hudson River waters. All the other reused stories, whether these entailed reuse of earlier Spider-Man episodes or stories from Rocket Robin Hood, were reused only once. In this case, the story was reused twice, resulting in three nearly identical episodes. As such, I thought it would merit special attention here.

I deeply think this show tried. Yet it might have come out too soon compared to the comics. Stories and characters were not that well established at the time for the cartoon to feel, well, developped. Not to mention the sh*tty pacing of season 2.

Wasn't Jamerson mayor of NYC early in the comics? The Ex mayor helping the people even after office would still mean something.

Dr. Magneto rules.

16:31 homie lookin like a straight pickle.

The little Spider-Man cartoon that could, but didn't.

3:38 unlike Batman and Superman, Spiderman didnt take decades to be the characters they are today. Um ok sure Spidey was different in many ways to the comicbook hero stereotype. Even in the Marvel Universe. But Batman and Superman IMMEDIATELY captured the attention and affection of the public. Suoerman 1938 and Batman 1939 have certainly evolved over the yrs. And being almost 30 yrs older than Spidey there has been many different iterations, and changes to the characters. But Superman, and Batman most definitely hit the ground running. Within a few yrs they went from comics, to newspapers, to cartoons, to serials , movies. There may jave been a few cosmetic adjustments. But they were solidified pretty much from the start.

35:08 "But removing the fishbowl was a step too far!" To be fair, 60s Mysterio was fishbowl-less a lot more than he is nowadays. Amazing Spider-Man #24 "Spider-Man Goes Mad" is a classic story where Mysterio disguises himself as a psychiatrist to convince Spidey he is insane, and he never once wears the outfit or fishbowl.

Excellent point.

I'm scared. Just started the video 👀 Edit: Just finished the video. I-I think I'm depressed 😕

Certainly you have a legitimate gripe regarding the low budget production of Spidey '67. There were a scant amount of forgiving factors, like Jameson's character, the color hues and a bit of the stock footage. One episode which stood out to me as a kid was when Spidey helped Flash Thompson win the football game by directing the ball with his web. Aside of all of that it was good for the little kids. My 2 year old niece would go Ga Ga when Spider Man aired in syndication. I enjoyed it because I was a fan of the comic, which back in the day cost a whole quarter. One interesting footnote is when I watched the series, sometimes the reel would overshoot to the frame which said: 'Place Commercial Here'. The long defunct local independent station the show was on had some of the best entertainment going at that time. Aside of the local collegiate games and news, the majority of their content was between ten to forty years old. From the Star Trek marathons to Spider Man, that station cemented itself as a legend in it's own time. Cheers.

Here`s more clarification: Season One was intended for little kids ONLY, written by Hollywood writers with a lot of input from Stan Lee. Season Two was for older kids. Writers had NO input from Marvel, and most writers and artists whom Bakshi hired were Scifi or fantasy writers/novelists who were not familiar much with Spider-man, like Lin Carter and Gray Morrow.. Hence, the many scifi/fantasy plots. They did for the show what they did best in their fields. Nuff said!

You should explore the 70s action figure line

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅well information good show you can get 😅😅😅

Ya Disney + should have Spider-Man 67 tv series on there

"Season Three" was not a "season." At the end of Season two, Bakshi and Krantz were short about a dozen episodes which the network had demanded. The network demanded them, but Bakshi had already sent the animators and writers home and packing. They had to go to court, and Bakshi lost. The proceedings took about a year. So without more than half his staff, and basically only his OWN money, he had to spit out about a dozen more episodes, literally out of thin air. Out of spite or maybe frustration, he probably thought quality be danged, and churned out what he could, just to stay out of jail. (Actually, he was nearly arrested at the Canadian/US border during his stint on Rocket Robin Hood.) Guy went through a lot, with no support and very little money. Unlike what Spider-man artists go through these days.

Yo channel pup, I’ve been trying to find the entire series and I’ve tried pretty much everything, how did you watch this show? Thank you

Idk, it didn't come off as cheesy then. First off, comic book superheroes were, in the public eye, kids' stuff. That's a huge part of tge approach used in adapting them. Plus the animation, while crude, isn't nearly as bad as the Marvel Super-Heroes toons still in reruns - but those were pretty faithful to the source material, being essentially primitive motion comics of the actual stories and art. The Fleischer Superman toons were insanely high budget and were definitely superior, but it's not what animation looked like in most 60's toons. To be fair, I was born in the early 70's and grew up on this stuff, so anyone under 50 might not see it through a nostalgia filter.

A LITTLE harsh on the animation. This guy clearly knows his animation history, but I wonder just how much 1967 cartoons he actually watched, because they all were pretty low budget & simplistic. Sure, Hanna Barbera was a little better, but mainly due to using less stock footage, otherwise the rest was fairly comparable. And there were plenty as bad or worse companies, like DePattie-Freling. I think a lot of the animation criticicisms are a little biased from our modern perspective of expecting such polished animation.
