Why it Rocks

 * 1) This cartoon is the very first version of Spider-Man and it set the standard for all the future versions to come.
 * 2) The show is faithful to its source material.
 * 3) The addition of classic Spider-Man villains is pretty cool, especially The Green Goblin.
 * 4) Great music (if it isn't trying to be jazzy, It is straight up otherworldly), like the iconic theme song.
 * 5) It simplifies stories from the comics, so the viewer gets a synopsis of what that villain basically is.
 * 6) Pretty good story writing for a superhero series.
 * 7) Spider-Man's character was handled pretty well.
 * 8) "The Origin of Spider-Man" was a great episode that explains how Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
 * 9) Despite being dramatic, at least the show doesn't take itself too seriously, as it adds a bit of humor by adding cartoon sound effects in some episodes.
 * 10) In seasons 2-3, Ralph Bakshi, a famous animator, handled the art pretty well, unlike the animated Lord of the Rings and Cool World.
 * 11) The voice acting matches the characters' personality really well (Paul Soles makes his voice shy and concerned as Peter Parker, while he makes his voice manly and confident as Spider-Man)
 * 12) The intro formed the main theme to Spider-Man, and also became the most iconic theme song ever.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Show was on a low-budget, which means the animation doesn't look as good as other cartoons at the time.
 * 2) Despite adapting the comics, there are some weird adventures where the studio tries to create their own villains to save on budget.
 * 3) Some animation errors are present.
 * 4) *Spider-Man's costume having the wrong color scheme.
 * 5) *Wrong amount of legs on the spider in the front of Spider-Man's suit.
 * 6) *Sometimes characters don't have white eyes at all.
 * 7) *Some animations are constantly reused.
 * 8) The sound mixing is nothing to praise.
 * 9) Spider-Man is off model in every pose (usually, Model Sheets are used for consistancy in cartoons, inconsistancy in Peter Parker makes us wonder if they even had a Model Sheet).
