Classic Television Showbiz's Made for TV Movie: Spider-Man (1976)
I'm still surprised that this show didn't do better in the late-70s. My recollection is that for some reason, the CBS affiliate in Nashville would preempt just about every airing of Spider-Man and replace it with either a Billy Graham or Oral Roberts crusade, or country music specials featuring their main weathercaster, Ron Kaiser. It used to infuriate me.
