Trivia
In the comics, Peter Parker was a high school student who got bitten by a radioactive spider and selfishly used his powers until his lack of responsibility caused his Uncle Ben's demise. In the show, Peter is a grad student when the spider bites him and learns responsibility despite not having Uncle Ben (or Uncle Ben's untimely demise) to point him in the right direction.

The series was not technically Spider-Man's first regular live-action depiction, as the character was featured in a popular segment on the PBS Children's Show The Electric Company. This would be the first time a live action Spider-Man spoke vocally, and was seen as Peter Parker. The series was the first to incorporate other live action elements from the comics as well.

An entire episode had to be shot within seven days. In an effort to save time when Nicholas Hammond shot the Peter Parker scenes with the first until while the second unit was out with Freddy Waugh shooting the Spider-Man stunt scenes since 85% of the scenes featured Peter Parker and only 15% featured Spider-Man.
