The Amazing Spider-Man (1977–1979)
10/10
A great, early take on my favorite superhero...
21 September 2012
Along with "Wonder Woman" and "The Incredible Hulk," "The Amazing Spider-Man" was the only other live-action superhero TV series to make a splash during the 1970s. It's really pointless to describe the plot since if you know the Marvel Comics comic book series that inspired Spider-Man, then you already know the story, with Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This series always had great death-defying stunts, which were great for the time it was made, when everything had to be done using live, flesh & blood human beings and not a computer. Many other iterations of Spider-Man would follow in the later decades after "The Amazing Spider-Man's" debut on television, most notably three animated series and two live-action movie series. Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" movie series - with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man - was my favorite incarnation of the character ever, with "Spider-Man 2" (2004) as my favorite superhero movie and my #2 favorite movie of all time. Spider-Man is my all-time favorite superhero. This show was just another reason why.
