Summary of Season 1 (2003) - 2 discs

Taking over where the 2002 live-action blockbuster left off, this computer-animated television series watches spidey hero Peter Parker (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) and his friends Harry Osborne (Ian Ziering) and Mary Jane Watson (Lisa Loeb) flounder through their first year at Empire State University.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) is college-aged in this animated series spun off of the hit big-screen movie. He dates, kisses, and even allows a woman to sleep over at his apartment (speaking of which, most of the female characters have exaggerated figures, often with exposed flesh or generous bosoms). Spidey's battle against evil results in lots of cartoon violence, including villains wielding gigantic guns and regular near-death experiences, though all of the scenes are bloodless. Some scenes show Peter and his friends drinking cocktails.

Sexual Content

Exaggerated female figures, exposed flesh, sexy flirtation, guys checking out women, mild sexual innuendo, occasional kissing, an apparent co-ed sleepover.

Violence

Lots of tense violence and big, exaggerated weapons, bombs, and explosions. But there's no blood, and no one ever seems significantly hurt.

Language

Peter Parker says "holy crap!" in at least one episode.

Social Behavior

Peter Parker is a good guy with good values. As Spider-Man, he always fights on the side of good. Meanwhile, villains are mean, violent, insulting, and criminal -- clearly "bad" guys.

Consumerism

There's lots of Spidey merchandise out there for young fans.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

College-age characters sometimes go out for cocktails.
