Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

[lithera]

Wow.

This show is.... awful. But yet still watchable.

Apparently Iceman has a sister with powers. I had no idea. Did you?

And Spider-man, Firestar and Iceman went into space on the outside of a rocket with the protection of... an ice shield.

So, in about half an hour, I'm going to go get on the bus and head to the airport. I've certainly hit the freaking out portion of the program. I have a feeling as to why I do this but one of these days I might figure it out for certain.

Stan Lee helps me, though. Because he is mighty.

Power Rangers, though, are not what I want to see.

And last night's Robot Chicken featured such awesomeness as Dance Dance Counter-Revolution, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Dragon's Lair and Highlander. It amused me. Which is what I want it to do.

It was, in fact, Lightray. And I haven't seen it on DVD yet.

How did you see it? I wants to see it!

It is on the ABC Family channel in the mornings, apparently.

And now, I must run.

It's also on Toon Disney.

I watched it religiously as a kid. And it's got a sweet nostalgia about it now, though I can see through the dread cheapo animation [which was, for 1981, state of the art].

I have fond memories of the "Swarm" episode. A couple years after it was first broadcast, my younger sister and I were babysiting a small group of kids when it came on again. I identified it in two seconds, saying, "Oh, it's the anti-Communist episode." My sister was a little cranky at the time, and told me rather sharply that I should stop assuming there was a hidden meaning in everything.

Shortly afterwards, the patriotic fanfare came to back up Spidey's speech about humans were individuals.

I got an apology.

Everyone should work for Swarm! EVERYONE!

Lightwave.

Y'know, I knew that. How the hell did I type... Oh, right. Lightray's a New God.

"And Spider-man, Firestar and Iceman went into space on the outside of a rocket with the protection of... an ice shield."

That's not as bad as Batman using the Bat Plane to travel through space and then back in time in an ep of Challenge of the Superfriends :)

I loved that cartoon when I was 3. It was on all the time in my house.

I look back on it and cringe at how pitiful it was. Thankfully, there's X-Men: TAS, and Spider-Man: TAS with better quality of shows.

Useless trivia nuggets: That show was Firestar's first appearance anywhere. She was due to arrive in the X-men comics, but due to legal snafus, she was used first in the TV show, as a trial run. Then de-aged and added to X-Men 193, and some New Mutants issues shortly thereafter.

She also got her first kiss from Sam Guthrie.
