THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

Boy oh boy has there been a TON of Spider-man projects on TV...nine in total so far (and a tenth is in the works)

In chronological order, they are (all links are to Wikipedia's entries on the topics, which is where we got most of our information):

Spider-man, animated, 1967

Spidey Super Stories, live action segment of The Electric Company, 1974

The Amazing Spider-Man, live action, 1978

Supaidamon, live action Japanese adaptation, 1978

Spider-Man, animated, 1981

Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends, animated, 1981

Spider-Man:The Animated Series, animated (duh!), 1994

Spider-man Unlimited, animated, 1999

Spiderman: The NEW Animated Series, animated (duh again!), 2003

Then of course, there are the three movies:

Spider-Man (2002)

Spider-man 2 (2004)

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

It's highly possible that only Superman and Batman have been involved in more projects on TV and in the movies; we'll find that out as we go through the weeks and begin research on the Batman show scheduled as the final installment of this month's HERO HEAT shows.

This Tuesday, on our Trailer Trove segment, we will feature the opening credits for ALL of the above TV series, so don't miss it!
