The first show to ever feature the eponymous pop culture phenomenon premiered on September 9, 1967 on the ABC television network and ran for a total of three seasons, entering into syndication during its final season in 1970.Each episode from the first season more or less followed the same basic formula: Something weird happens somewhere in New York, and we see the villain causing it — usually one from Spidey's classic comic book rogues gallery. J. Jonah Jameson, the Daily Bugle editor, relays the information through lots of yelling and fist-pounding to Bugle employees Betty Brant, Jameson's secretary, and Peter Parker, the Bugle's star photographer. Jameson orders Parker to get pictures. Peter somehow finds out who the attacker is, and goes on the hunt for said attacker as the web-slinging, wall-crawling hero, Spider-Man. Spidey manages to find the villains and defeat them, usually by leaving them All Webbed Up and with a note that always ended in, "your friendly neighborhood Spiderman". After an Every Episode Ending of Peter, "Miss Brant" and Jameson discussing the aftermath at the Daily Bugle, the episode ends. Usually each episode consisted of two 15-minute segments, though more than once there was one full-length half-hour segment.Grantray-Lawrence Animation was the original production company responsible for the series, but were on the brink of bankruptcy by the time it premiered and had filed for it by year's end, forcing them to hand over production duties to Krantz Films, Inc., known at the time for shows like Rocket Robin Hood and for being the then-home of Ralph Bakshi, who became this show's lead animator. Under Krantz's watch, budgets were slashed by more than half and the show took on a very different tone, reintroducing Peter as the geeky Ordinary High-School Student he was when he first appeared (in fact, the first episode of the second season was a retelling of Spidey's origin story, complete with the Refusal of the Call and death of his Uncle Ben).The classic comic book rogues gallery was thrown out because of licensing costs, replaced by generic green-skinned alien King Mooks and their Mook henchmen, more often than not the product of Stock Footage recycled from episodes from the aforementioned Rocket Robin Hood. This series' animation also became much, much more limited, with shots of Spider-Man web-swinging reused more than once in one scene, and the skies over New York City becoming all sorts of ominous-looking colors (green with dark clouds, etc.). Finally, episodes from the first season, featuring said rogues gallery, were cut up and split together to form new episodes.However odd this cartoon may have been, it's quite popular and not without its fans, who enjoy it for a variety of reasons. It holds the distinction of being the first-ever cartoon to feature the eponymous superhero, not to mention the first-ever medium outside of comic books to do so. (The theme song was a big help, too — it's just as universally associated with Spidey as the John Williams movie theme is with Superman.) A DVD release of the series was issued in 2004, but went out of print after a few years.Where this world fits in the Marvel Multiverse is a bit spotty: it was originally listed as Earth-6799 in the Marvel databooks; Spider-Verse retconned it to Earth-67, in reference to the year it first aired; Web Warriors features a world called Earth-3015, which a caption states to be the world of "a cartoon or two".note Some fans suggest that 3015 is instead the world of Spider-Man memes (see Fountain of Memes on the YMMV tab). Earth-67 would be featured in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in a post-credits scene, showing Spider-Man 2099 travelling to this world and meeting this Spider-Man. As this is canonically the same universe from Spider-Verse, this acts as a crossover between the animated film and the comics. | |

Canon Foreigner: There are a fair amount of villains created for this cartoon that never appeared in the comics. Among the most notable original villains are Parafino, the Human Fly twins (no connection to the villain who would later appear in the comics), and Dr. Matto Magneto (not to be confused with the archenemy of the X-Men). | |

Darker and Edgier: The second season on, oh so much. The first episode of the second season is also notable for including Spider-Man's origin story (adapted not, despite from popular belief, from Amazing Fantasy #15 [though some lines are used], but from the then-new Spectacular Spider-Man magazine series), and the second episode featured the Kingpin. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: While Jameson says that the Green Goblin is wearing a costume, we never see Norman Osborn outside of it, which raises the question if the Goblin truly is a guy in a costume, like in the comics (and if that guy is Osborn), or if he is an instance of a pre-Season 2 villain who inexplicably has green skin. Taking the unmasked Mysterio we ended up with into account, it could still be a costume, but the individual beneath it could still be green. | |

Early Adaptation Weirdness: Peter Parker uses a deeper and more adult voice as Spider-Man in this cartoon. This comes in stark contrast to future adaptations, which has Peter use his normal voice (though with often added confidence/snark) as Spidey. | |

Ascended Meme | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: Josh Keaton, who voiced Spidey in The Spectacular Spider-Man and some video games, did a bunch of memes in his Spidey voice for fun. (NSFW) In the first issue of Web Warriors, Spider-Gwen ends up spotting Spidey hiding behind a desk, telling him "There is a big super-villain heist going on out there and you're just sitting there... what are you doing?" In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, several shots in Peter B.'s origin flashbacks and the Creative Closing Credits homage the infamously memetic poses and screenshots from 1967's Spider-Man, including a recreation of the "And I'm just sitting here" meme, albeit without the usual masturbation joke. In particular, The Stinger recreates the "Spider-Man Pointing at Spider-Man" meme, only with Spider-Man 2099 as one of the Spider-Men. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Several of the Krantz Films episodes adapted from the comics had changes made to the story. In the original "To Cage A Spider" comic story, Spider-Man is knocked unconscious by the Vulture and taken to prison. In the cartoon, Spider-Man is knocked out by two bank robbers who get in a lucky shot, presumably to work around having to pay licensing fees to use the Vulture. The cartoon version of "The Big Brainwasher" has Mary Jane Watson as Captain Stacy's niece, adapting out Gwen Stacy in the process. The cartoon version of "The Madness Of Mysterio" makes Mysterio look like a green-skinned Woody Allen, presumably to avoid licensing issues with using his trademark fishbowl helmet costume (his season one appearances, of course, did use the fishbowl helmet, but the show wasn't suffering from the budget issues that would plague it by the time "The Madness of Mysterio" came around). | |

| Spider-Man (1967) / int_af98df4e | comment |
They Called Me Mad!: The motivation of a lot of mad scientist villains Spidey took on, especially after switching production companies and mostly coming up with their own villains to not have to pay to license existing Spider-Foes. | |

ReTool | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_b219ac90 | comment |
Retool: Grantray-Lawrence Productions, the show's original company, went bankrupt in 1968, forcing them to hand over the series to Ralph Bakshi's company. The change is very evident: More and more generic green-skinned villains began appearing, the show began taking on a Darker and Edgier tone, and the focus was more on Peter's home and school life, including more time at home with Aunt May and more on his life as an Ordinary High-School Student, phasing out the Daily Bugle almost entirely. In truth, there were so many differences from the first season, one would've thought this was a whole new series entirely. | |

Clear My Name | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_bc3cb7ff | comment |
Clear My Name: Happens on quite a few occasions. Also, Jameson tends to blame Spider-Man for crimes in a lot of episodes, sometimes accusing him of working with the villain even when Spider-Man was clearly trying to stop them. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Besides having a web for every occasion, Spider-Man dabbled with other abilities, such as Ventriloquism. Then there is Spider-Hearing... The web itself is incredibly versatile for forming any object Spider-Man needs for a given situation. In "Fountain of Terror", he makes a boat, complete with a motor driven propeller, entirely of web. | |

Re-Cut | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: Throughout the latter two seasons, several episodes from the first season (more specifically, those featuring the actual comic book villains) were cut into different sections (and in some cases spliced with bits of other episodes) to create all-new episodes with a new script, to get around the budget issues. Some episodes within the second and third seasons were also recycled into "new" episodes. One of the most jarring examples was "Spider-Man Battles the Molemen", an edited version of "Menace from the Bottom of the World" that aired two episodes after the original episode and changed it so that the mole-men's leader was an actual mole-man instead of a criminal in disguise. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
| Spider-Man (1967) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Jameson is so obsessed with proving Spider-Man is a "menace" that HE WILL automatically accuse Spider-Man of any crime, even when the evidence clearly contradicts him. In one episode where the Green Goblin kidnaps him as a way to summon evil spirits, Jameson ACTUALLY thinks Green Goblin is Spider-Man who just changed his name and costume! | |

| Spider-Man (1967) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Klivendon is based on Kraven the Hunter, while Charles Cameo is similar to the Chameleon for being a master of disguise. It's possible that they were used in place of Kraven and the Chameleon because of the fact that the comic villains had appeared in The Marvel Super Heroes. As well, there was a supervillain in one episode named "Dr. Magneto", who attacked Spidey with a special magnetic gun. It's possible that Dr. Magneto was intended to be the X-Men villain Magneto but they changed him up for one reason or another. | |

Caught by Arrogance: This proves to be Mysterio's downfall twice over in "Menace of Mysterio". First, Spider-Man is able to trick him into confessing that he had framed the Wall-Crawler by getting Mysterio to brag about it on tape. Then, when their fight spills out onto a movie set in the middle of filming, Mysterio brags about being the greatest stuntman in the world. This allows Spider-Man to deduce his true identity and worst of all, Mysterio had said this in front of witnesses. | |
