Short pieces that featured the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man (which was provided to CTW free of charge) and cast members from the Electric Company show. Stories involved the web-masked super hero (Danny Seagren) foiling mischievous characters involved in petty criminal activities (such as burglary or assault). Interestingly, Spider-Man spoke only in cartoon word balloons appearing over his head, which were accompanied by electronic punctuation sounds for emphasis when the appeared on-screen. Also, unlike in the pages of Marvel Comics, he was never seen out of costume as his alter-ego, Peter Parker. Debuted during season four and was the basis for a spin-off comic book. The segment's theme song also claimed, ?Spider-Man, where are you coming from? Spider-Man, nobody knows who you are.?
