Spectacular Spider-Man?
 

Does anyone know if there will be anymore episodes of Spectacular Spiderman? All I ever see them show is Season 1 stuff? Also has there been a Season 1 DVD announced?

Thanks for any help.

There will be a season 2 in 09 but it wont be on the CW 4kids. It will probably air around March on a new network most likely NickToons since they have Ironman and Wolverine and the X-Men.

I think they're only releasing those lame ass volumes for the show, thus far. Hopefully a season set isn't far off.

...How hard is it to remember the - In Spider-Man? I mean really. :(

Then fix it, Mr. Mod!

I had to. My head would have exploded if I didn't. :(

I really love this show infact it's made me more of a Spider-Man fan.
I hope they bring out a season box set and more episodes, I just hope it's not on some odd chanel or time so I can watch it.

The NickToons thing is just a rumor, so far as I've heard.

The fact that the series has been canned after season 2, though, is not. :(

Weisman has stated that over half the staff for the series have been laid off and renewal past season 2 is highly unlikely, and even if the show DOES get picked up for a 3rd season, they'd have to hire a completely new staff since all the folks they fired have moved on to new projects.

A shame when such a good show is canned as soon as it gets off the ground.

Makes you realize how incredible the TMNT's run has been (both times!).

I still don't know how the f*ck can something that's so quality gets canned that quickly. When I look at the sh*t out there going on for season after season, it just baffles me.

Too true. I know it sounds a little dramatic, but it's really one of the saddest things to happen in animated television in a long time...besides the resurrection and embarrassing breakdown of Family guy.

Yeah seriously, everything about this show is rad from the theme song to the animation to the stories, etc.
I have to wonder what the real reason is for it getting the axe so quickly is.

Yup... the American Children's TV industry at its finest. As long as one kid doesn't hurt himself doing something stupid, then the parents can turn a nice blind eye. "Oh, there is no children's TV anymore... I guess that's good. Now I'm going to have to blame the kids my kid hangs out with while I have another appletini with the other privileged soccer moms."

Season 2 didn't even START and they've canceled it. Even if the ratings are spectacular there's no hope. You know, if I were Marvel, I'd sue Sony for this. This has to be a breach of contract.

And yes, the DVD set will come out either by the time Season 2 airs or as soon as it does. That's usually how it works.

Wiesman had the whole 65 episode structure set up. It's a real shame. We were going to have one full year told over five "seasons" (legit seasons, as in winter/spring/summer/autum) over five years, then the movies were going to dip into the more mature layers of the series.

This is a complete f*cking tragedy. What was the reasoning behind this show getting axed, anyways?

Mostly because there's no place to put it. Let's run them down:

Fox is dead....

I don't think 4Kids has the money to negotiate with Sony for the second season.

CBS, ABC, NBC- FCC obligatory TV EI- not to mention ABC and NBC just use reruns from other networks they own anyway

Cartoon Network is basically turning into the Crappy family films from 5-10 years ago network

Nickelodeon, outside of Spongebob, only cares about Teennick and Nick Jr. (apparently there is no Nick 5-10 year olds anymore, go figure)

Disney still has bad blood with Marvel over that whole fiasco about who owns the 1990's Marvel cartoons

So, basically Nicktoons is all that's left. And if they don't get it, where's it gonna end up?

I have to admit, it's pretty naive to think that a cartoon series will even last one full season, let alone 5. Too bad they're too blind to realize that even the reruns are doing great in the ratings... and they've just started airing the Lizard episode for the 10th time.

On the bright side, we get 26 great episodes on disc when it's all said and done. Maybe Weisman will still be able to do some of the direct to dvd's he was talking about.

Spectacular is heading to Disney XD.

Well, ****... Is XD the thing they're replacing ToonDisney with? If so, at least I have that.

No, XD is a smiley face. It took me about ten years to realize that. I didn't even know this show was cancelled...what a shame, I enjoyed the episodes I've seen.
