Greatest Spider-Man show that was ever aired. The new Spidey show and "Ultimate" don't even come close to the way that this series defines Peter Parker and Spider-Man. This show has fantastic character development, amazing stories, and a fluent art style that does admittingly look kiddy, but nonetheless works. Only the 1994 Spider-Man show is the only other one to do the character justice, but was somewhat held back by all the censors. Josh Keaton is amazing as Peter and Spidey, and is what can be described as, "Josh Keaton is to Spider-Man like what Kevin Conroy is to Batman, or Mark Hamill to the Joker". This is a must watch show for any Spider-Man fan. Those who may say that this is overrated cannot be more wrong. This show deserves all the praise it gets because of how well written it is. The only downside of this show is that it ended far too early solely due to the fact that Disney bought Marvel during this time the show was airing (2008-2009) and Sony sold them the rights to the Spidey's show license, ultimately regretting the choice. This is the one of the greatest Spider-Man shows, and also among the greatest superhero tv shows ever, up there with Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Batman the Animated Series, X-Men the Animated Series, Justice League & Justice League Unlimited, and the 1994 Spider-Man.
