The show was odd.

Grantray-Lawrence Animation was the original production company responsible for the series, but were on the brink of bankruptcy by the time it premiered and had ''filed'' for it by year's end, forcing them to hand over production duties to Krantz Films, Inc., known at the time for shows like ''RocketRobinHood'' and for being the then-home of RalphBakshi, who became this show's lead animator. Under Krantz's watch, budgets were slashed by more than half and the show took on a ''[[ReTool very]]'' [[ReTool different tone]], reintroducing Peter as the geeky OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent he was
The classic comic book rogues gallery was thrown out because of licensing costs, replaced by generic green-skinned alien {{King Mook}}s and their {{Mook}} henchmen, more often than not the product of StockFootage recycled from episodes from the aforementioned ''Rocket Robin Hood''. This series' animation also became much, much more limited, with shots of Spider-Man web-swinging reused more than once in one ''scene'', and the skies over New York City becoming [[RedSkyTakeWarning all sorts of ominous-looking colors]] (green with dark clouds, etc.). Finally, episodes from the first season, featuring said rogues gallery, were cut up and split together to form new episodes.
However odd this cartoon may have been, it's quite popular and not without its fans, who enjoy it for a variety of reasons. It holds the distinction of being the first-ever cartoon to feature the titular superhero, not to mention the first-ever medium outside of comic books to do so. A DVD release of the series was issued in 2004, but went out of print after a few years and can now be viewed on {{Netflix}}.
