I'm sorry but I just can't get into this show. After seeing all the positive reviews about it, I decided to give it a try. I barely got through an episode! I know it sounds kind of silly but I just can't get past the character designs and the overall look of the show. To me everything and everyone just look silly, childish and so cartoony. I just can't take it seriously. I know it probably has good writing and voice actors and all that, but to me it just looks too childish. Also, why is Spider-Man so skinny. He's seriously the same size as Gwen and MJ! And Venom has tiny legs and Doctor Octopus just looks weird. And what's up with the Green Goblin's chin? I grew up on the 90s Spider-Man: TAS and to me it just doesn't get any better than that. I know the animation isn't great compared to modern stuff, but I can easily look past that due to the great writing, voice acting and character designs. Anyway, I gave it a shot, but the Spectacular Spider-Man just isn't for me.

Much like Batman TAS, both JLs, and Teen Titans this series was one of the best shows I've seen; animated or not. Not only that, but to my knowledge it's the best Spiderman series ever put on TV because of how well made it is and what I think of Spiderman. Peter is a brainiac, but he doesn't flaunt it, when it comes to situations like romance and holding up to his duties as Peter Parker he reacts to it like some teenagers in his place would while as Spidey he uses his quick wit to get the foes off guard and is also serious about the situation at hand and it's not forcefully funny like some writers would make. The side characters have their own personality and some have character archs in the show that really shows itself in the 2nd season; they're memorable and I ended up liking most of them. The animation is something newcomers would have to get used to but when you do you'll like it and it fits into the shows dynamic, also I love how Peter actually LOOKS like a teenage nerd would instead of the beefy 90s Peter. The sound is smooth and plays well in the background of scenes and really helps the fights flow well, especially in a certain ep in season 2. It array of villains were cool too from Electro to Vulture so it's good to have that variety in the show as well and heck, even a few of the villains have an arc to them.All in all this is a show I really think everyone should watch because it's exactly what I think a Spiderman series should be, memorable, able to hold up over time, and damn is it rewatchable; it's even my first torrented series. Even though this fell into the 2 Season Hell Pit that many good Superhero shows end up at (except for TT, but we see where they went) I really hope it returns with a season 3 to tie up some ends left loose in the show.

I have read all 26 reviews here and I am wondering what these people are thinking and in fact, I'm wondering too what the producers of this cheesy product where thinking. Ask me, I have no doubt as to why the program was canceled. The drawing and animation are absolutely horrible and appear to be designed by someone in elementary school for kindergarteners. The drawing and animation in the 60's cartoon, when it was all done by hand, are exceedingly better than this crap. The 90's cartoon series definitely blows this away. Many of the reviews here state opinions of this show being better than any others ever produced. How anyone who is an adult or nearing adulthood could think that this tripe is better is beyond me. It's crap, plain and simple.

I have seen everything spider-man and this show is the best there is. No other spider-man cartoon has come this close. They cover responsibility, humor and the action flowing in perfect rhythm. This is the most loyal adaption of the spirit from the comics as well. I have never seen it come together this good on TV. You see many of the popular villains and some of the not so popular ones and this is great. You see his personal life on a level that the comics brought out. The people that made this cartoon must of been serious fans. It is a real crime that they canceled this. The newest spider-man cartoon "Ultimate Spider-man" is the ultimate insult to all spidey fans.
