Notes

Launched in part as a follow-up to Sesame Street for children who had outgrown that series. One regular feature was "Spidey Super Stories", a comic-strip inspired segment featuring the Marvel superhero Spider-Man.

Followed by a revival/continuation with new cast members that ran from 2009 to 2011.

Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 25th Mar 2019		Added cast for the 2009-2011 revival. Have submitted a correction on the end date; since we have precedent for revivals/continuations made by the same companies/networks (i.e. X-Files) this is probably better than starting a new listing. Interesting to see Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame in the cast list.
23skidoo 30th Jul 2015		Cosby was only involved in the series for its first season. I read somewhere that the experience might have inspired him to launch Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, but I can't confirm this. Probably best known today for popularizing Morgan Freeman's, though he'd been in a number of films and TV shows before this.
