some people think this be a rather bad tv series and with cheesy effect . ( consider it be film between 1977 1979 ) but really and look back at those year and think and we do not have computer back then . so if you think about it and it a rather good tv series . i always figure bad rating kill the show and but no . the network do . they cancel out their theme a the superhero network and abandon a short lived spider man series . if it have go on and it probably would have run well into the 80 and and if it be really lucky ( and i mean really lucky ) and the early 90 . and no one want to pick this series up . anyways and jolly old ( or young ) nicholas hammond and of the sound of music fame and be bring to the tv screen a peter parker and the secret identity of the amazing spider man . along the series and peter deal with a clone and a beautiful girl from a foreign country and and a corrupt politician . while the series be way out of timeline ( be that peter be already graduate from university and and thats when he get bit and and uncle ben be already dead and ) the audience be treat to action and suspense and and the attitude that the character have towards peter and his alter ego and spider man . while it also slightly disappoint that robert . f simon look nothing like j. j. jameson and it not so disappointing that betty grant isn not betty grant and but a hot african american girl ( who remind me of halle berry and who be one of the hot woman on the planet ) so really and this one wasn not so bad . but consider the time and and how much drama they pack into this one and it kind of foreshadows what bad tv be today . either way and it entertain and even for today . positive .
