History Trivia / SpiderMan1967

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: Though the ending credits lists Paul Soles, Peg Dixon, Bernard Cowan and Paul Kligman, the characters as well as the other voice actors aren't listed.
* ScienceMarchesOn: How does Spidey defeat Electro, who is capable of frying his webbing? By adding ''asbestos'' to his web fluid, of course! Since then, the world at large has discovered many reasons for Spidey to never even think of doing so.

* NoBudget: Like other Marvel adaptations of the time, the series was produced on the cheap, and went steadily down in budget as time went on (the animation team even had to flee their creditors while producing the third season). Most fans, though, argue [[{{Camp}} this adds to the charm of the show]], especially since re-using animation from ''WesternAnimation/RocketRobinHood'' made for some ''really'' "out there" villains and storylines. In addition, no matter how bad the animation may have been on this series, it was ''much'' better than that seen on, say, ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes'', which literally ''just'' took the (admittedly awesome) comic book art and only made the mouths move.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This show did not receive its own DVD until 2004; prior to this, select episodes had been released as part of video compilations of episodes of [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries the 1994 animated series]]. When the DVD came out, it actually contained all the episodes, a rarity for cartoons in Disney's library. However, this set went out of print after a few years. Later, the cartoon became available for digital streaming, but it was taken off shortly afterwards. After the October 2022 addition of Sony's ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' to Creator/DisneyPlus, the '67 series remains the only ''Spider-Man'' cartoon unavailable on the service
