though and short live the amazing spider man be one of the best made for tv version of a famed comic book hero . only wonder woman ( lynda carter ) ( the best of the genre and the incredible hulk ( bill bixby and lou ferrigno ) be well . the amazing spider man outclass the 1966 1968 batman and because the high camp element of the latter often ruin the adventure . spider man outclass all three television interpretation of superman lois and clark and smallville and and of course the george reeve superman which bring up the rear . the amazing spider man be an action drama and during the late 1970 and the pre cgi era and when stunt have to be perform by stunt men and not in the database of a computer . spider man have it own very talented stuntman to perform the death defy daredevil acrobatics . his name be fred waugh and who don the spidy suit for the action sequence . nicholas hammond and good know a one of julie andrew child on the all time movie classic the sound of music be spider man during the dialogue scene . hammond spider man also have his own secret identity a peter parker and similar to christopher reeve superman or clark kent and adam west batman or bruce wayne and and of course lynda carter a wonder woman or diana prince . it unfortunate that the series only have thirteen episode . because when the first episode hit the airwave in november of 1977 and the entire country be watch it on cbs that wednesday night . in all fairness and cbs should release this pilot episode as well a the deadly dust and the captive tower etc . on dvd shortly . spider man be short lived and but do have a cult follow and and in my opinion be a heck of a lot good than the movie interpretation of the famed comic book hero star toby mcguire . cbs might be hesitant to release these episode for two reason . ( a ) there might not be a broad market for them base on the lack of longevity of the series and a generation of child and young people who weren not bear when the series originally air in the 1970 . ( b ) one of the early spider man episodes dealt with a terrorist with design on the world trade center and which be attack twice many year after this show go off the air and in 1993 and and of course the devastate attack against this country on 9/11/01 in which the tower be destroy and many innocent life be lose . however i do not think that it would be in bad taste to release this spider man episode even if the show be adventure and derive from a comic book and and camp in nature . the live action amaze spider man doesn not have a large follow but it have a cult follow . if and when cbs release it out on dvd this cult follow could be explain along with the episode in which spiderman save the tower in 1978 and but how in september of 2001 real life prove to be different from the movie . i like to follow the news and but i also like science fiction or fantasy . therefore i be eagerly await the release of the amazing spider man on dvd .
