  • "Spidey Super Stories" was a live-action, recurring skit on the PBS children's television series The Electric Company. Episodes featured the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, provided to the Children's Television Workshop free of charge, and was played (always in costume) by puppeteer Danny Seagren. It premiered during the season premiere of The Electric Company's fourth (1974–1975) season, show 391. Stories involved the masked superhero foiling mischievous characters who were involved in petty criminal activities (such as burglary or assault). The cast of The Electric Company played the roles of the various characters in each story, with another serving as narrator. In many of these sketches, viewers were addressed as "true believers". Unlike other live-action and cartoon productions of Spider-Man, this version of the web-slinging hero does not speak out loud, instead communicating only with word balloons (Having a similar role to Clarabell the Clown of Howdy Doody), in order to encourage young viewers to practice their reading skills. This was done because Spider-Man was not drawn with a mouth. He also never appears out of his costume as Peter Parker and, given the series' budget limitations, uses his web-shooters sparingly. (Many times, the scene cut to a pre-drawn panel of Spidey using his web-shooters, with the caption, "Take that!") The theme song that plays at the beginning and end of the shorts was written by Gary William Friedman. The lyrics are: Spider-Man, where are you coming from? Spider-Man, nobody knows who you are!
  • Spidey Super Stories è una serie di corti dal vivo contenuti nel programma per ragazzi The Electric Company della rete televisiva PBS. La serie, iniziata nel 1974 e terminata nel 1977, è basata sul personaggio dei fumetti omonimo della Marvel Comics. Il personaggio di Spider-Man è interpretato dall'attore Danny Seagren e lo vede impegnato nella lotta al crimine. Il cast di "The Electric Company" provvedeva ad interpretare i personaggi di contorno (di solito i criminali) mentre qualcun'altro (tra i quali spicca l'attore Morgan Freeman) provvedeva a far da narratore ad ogni episodio. Inoltre Spider-Man nel serial parla solo attraverso balloon di fumetti: questo è avvenuto principalmente per permettere ai giovani spettatori di sforzarsi ad imparare a leggere. Inoltre, visto il budget quasi irrisorio, non solo non viene mai mostrato l'alterego Peter Parker ma usa di rado anche la ragnatela. La canzone, suonata in apertura e alla fine, fu composta da Gary William Friedman e il testo recitava: "Spider-Man, where are you coming from? Spider-Man, nobody knows who you are!"
  • Spidey Super Stories" was een live-action sketchserie op de PBS kinder televisieserie The Electric Company. Centraal in de afleveringen stond het Marvel Comics personage Spider-Man. Iedere aflevering van de serie draaide om de gemaskerde superheld die verschillende criminelen aanpakte. De cast van The Electric Company vertolkte de overig rollen in de sketches. In tegenstelling tot andere live-action of animatieseries van Spider-Man, sprak Spider-Man niet in deze serie. In plaats daarvan communiceerde hij enkel via tekstbalonnen. Dit om jonge lezers aan te moedigen hun leesvaardigheden te verbeteren. Dit werd ook gedaan omdat Spider-Man in de serie nooit zijn kostuum uitdeed, en zijn kostuum zelf geen mond had. Vanwege het budget limiet gebruikte Spider-Man zijn webschietes maar zelden in de serie.
