What Parents Need to Know
About Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
Parents need to know that this is a decent, entertaining, and fairly wholesome series featuring the adventures of three Marvel Comics superheroes. Although each episode features at least one battle between superheroes and villains, the violence is mild and not likely to disturb kids, as it usually involves people being temporarily disabled rather than killed.

What ever
I remember watching this show and thinking it was really lame. Spider-man was cool for being a lone wolf and his sidekicks are kinda stupid anyway.

Much better than most school-age cartoon fare
My 5 yo has recently discovered that there are other channels on the TV besides PBS, TLC, and PlayHouse Disney. This is the ONLY cartoon I let him watch that's geared to a school age audience. There's mild violence but no one inflicts deadly or life-threatening injuries (no getting squashed flat by anvils, for example). The bad guys are clearly bad and clearly not real. The heroes are occassionally in "peril" but the tension resolves quickly. The 3 characters work together and Firestar is not treated differently b/c she's a girl. All in all, pretty good for non-educational TV. My biggest issue is the commercials!
