Summary: These compilations make no sense
Review: Buena Vista has released another DVD that compiles the 90's animated Spider-Man series, this time to coincide with the DVD of the theaterical feature. While there are many negatives to this release, the overall package is one that fans will want to snag along with the movie.I'm still baffled as to why the episodes are being packaged this way. The series consisted of many story arcs that ran through multiple seasons, and should not be chopped up and grouped like this. In fact, one episode here doesn't feature the Goblins as prominent villains, and another omits them entirely. Their inclusion on this disc is to help tie up the loose ends of the story, but since the title of this disc is "The Return of the Green Goblin", they seem out of place. However, it's nice to see that even if Buena Vista is releasing compilations, the episodes are all in sequence. This ensures a bit of continuity should the rest of the series be eventually released. There are also some pretty cool extras, including a fifth episode (even though it's out of order), another episode of the classic 1967 series, interviews with Stan Lee, and a mini game that's actually fun to play; my friend and I learned some things from the mini game about Spider-Man that we never knew before. Plus, unlike the "Ultimate Villain Showdown", the episodes on this disc are some of the high-points of the series and should not be missed. Plans have already been made to release another DVD featuring the Spider-Man/Daredevil team-up episodes to coincide with the movie when it arrives next year. This is good reassurance that more episodes will be released, and an incentive to buy this DVD. While the compilation format is dubious, the overall quality of the episodes along with the good extras and cheap price means that no Spidey fan should pass this disc up.

Summary: SPIDER-MAN RULES!
Review: I'm proud to say that this DVD edition is cool. It has some of the best episodes from the series...all in order from their original air dates. Although there are only 2 episodes with the Green Goblin and that they forgot the other episode where Harry Osborne becomes the Green Goblin, the DVD is still worth the purchase. I would have preferred that they released the DVD's by season like "Friends" & "Buffy..." but if your like any major Spider-Man fan...it's worth spending the cash!

Summary: Great episodes that should not be missed!
Review: This DVD is watched over and over by my 6 year old son. It is out of order - even within the DVD and the episode where Harry turns into the Green Goblin is under Bonus Materials. But it is still a great collection of episodes.

Summary: Spider-Man - The Return of the Green Goblin
Review: This dvd was amazing. But why don't they put the whole series on dvds insead of just episodes with the green goblin or character that they have made a movie of. Like theres a new daredevil film so they made the deredevil vs spiderman dvd

Summary: The Disney Video of this makes no sense.
Review: What I really find annoying is that these episodes come from poor film prints with low quality sound and picture detail. It would have been better if 20th century Fox had released these on DVD because it was on the Fox stations that these shows aired on, and they make very good DVDs.

Summary: Why not release this series in chronological order?!?
Review: While I'm thrilled to see any Spider-Man cartoon released on DVD, it could have been done better than this. These days it is MUCH more appropriate to release television shows in SEASON SETS (ala 'Friends: The complete first season'). In this case, the studio is obviously just trying to capitalize off the success of the 'Spider-Man' movie by throwing together the episodes of this series that have the Green Goblin in them. Of course no consideration was given to the fact that they will not make much sense being that they occurred sporadically throughout this serialized cartoon. Why didn't you just release a 'Spider-Man: The Animated Series Season 1'? Anything with Spider-Man's name on it is going to sell like crazy anyway.
