Synopsis:
The children's show "The Electric Company" aired from 1971/72 to 1976/77, comprising a total of 780 tapes over six seasons. Spider-Man joined the team for the last three seasons (from 1974 to 1977) as a short feature during the show. He didn't feature in every episode - apparently he featured in a dozen or so in the 74/75 season, around a dozen more in the 75/76 season, and a few more in the final season. Each Spider-Man segment was roughly three and a half minutes long - all having to do with a word suffix, prefix, sound, etc. being discussed at the time. Members of "The Electric Company" cast (cast information provided below) played the victims and villians, plus each cast member had at least one turn to narrate the story.
