Fair use rationale for Image:Rooftop bw .jpg

Image:Rooftop bw .jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"...produced by Columbia Pictures Television"

The intro contains the sttement that this series was "...produced by Columbia Pictures Television...." Not according to anything and everything I have ever heard. It has been consistently reported to have been part of the developmental deal between Marvel Comics, Universal Studios and the CBS network. This arrangement gave us The Incredible Hulk, Dr. Strange and two Captain America telefilms. Admittedly, while the "C" in the network's name stands for Columbia, it is apparently unrelated to the film studio of that name, but could that be the source of this claim? I also admit that unlike the first Hulk pilot, the one with Strange, and the two with Cap, the Spidey material had video release not from MCA/Universal, but initially from Fox Home Video (under their family-friendly Playhouse Video imprint) and later reissued by Rhino (all somewhat sloppily acknowledged in the article). However, neither of these labels is Tri-Star/Columbia Video. I know of no evidence supporting the claim that Columbia produced this series, so I will add a cite tag to that statement and start searching my collection, such as it is, for specific documentation of Universal's involvement. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I Think I know where this mistake could have come from. In the UK, the three Spider-Man 'films' that were released theatrically and then on video, were all distributed by Columbia Pictures, complete with the company's logo preceding their opening credits. Hence, someone has simply identified the series as a "Columbia Pictures Production", without checking the actual credits for the series, which was actually produced by Danchuck Productions. It would therefore simply be more accurate to say that Columbia simply distributed the three films theatrically overseas. The BBFC's website lists Columbia as the distributor for the films theatrically and for video if a citation is needed. Doceo (talk) 10:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the basis for the Columbia Studios claim. However, the immediate production company (as opposed to the financially-backing studio) is Charles Fries Productions. That much I definitely know, having seen it in the on-screen credits. I wonder if the different post-network distribution situation is similar to DC Comics retaining the Superman serials while Columbia still holds such rights to the Batman chapterplays they alo produced. Spider-Man was Marvel's #1 merchandising property by then. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

The series isn't owned by Sony in anyway. Just because they released the first three films including two television series, doesn't mean this one is owned by them. There's a chance this series is owned by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution because they own the Fries Entertainment library. King Shadeed 21:38, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Episode count vandalism

Pretty clear vandalism of this page, including dozens of extra numbers adding a mysterious unproduced story called "Mysterious" to the middle of the run. Can anyone undo these changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.247.21.65 (talk) 00:24, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
