Question: Wasn't Spider-Man ...
Question: Wasn't Spider-Man on Sesame Street during the 1970s? I remember that this Spider-Man had no voice and only talked in words that were shown on the TV screen. — Kevin S. Televisionary: It sounds like you're thinking of the most excellent Electric Company, Kevin — the Children's Television Workshop show intended to serve kids who'd outgrown Sesame Street. Produced for five seasons and aired during the '70s and early '80s, the show included a live-action segment called "The Adventures of Spidey," which utilized the webslinger's popularity to sneak some learning into kids' heads. (I know because, despite what my wife says, I was one of them.)
