This is another of those cartoons where I know the theme song but have never seen the actual programme. As for radioactive blood, the rest of us would get leukaemia, but not not Spider-Man, oh no, the lucky b*st*rd.
@UncannyUK Yes, it was great, but one thing I always remember is the use of the same animation of him swinging around New York city, week after week. This is mentioned under the title 'Budget' in the wiki link I put up. I seem to remember him swinging around the flag pole a lot too..
@philipnareike I received the box set as a present (I'm not ashamed to say) he also swings way above the buildings and in one episode he has above the statue of liberty...there are no tall buildings next to the statue as it sits off to the side...Same for trees in the jungle, he was always higher than they were which was hilarious.

Splendid stuff. 'Listen bud, he's got radioactive blood' is one of the best lines ever written.

The original cartoon series was great. It caught the wisecracking spirit of the original and didn't stint on the villains either.
