Inspired by Don Pendleton's The Executioner novels, writer Gerry Conway introduced the Punisher in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man in the 70's. More than 20 years later, the vigilante made his TV debut in Fox's Spider-Man series.
I realize we're in the middle of a season-long story arc, with Punisher (John Beck, ex-Dallas) making his debut in chapter 7, but there's a reason for this.
In memory of Ed Asner (J. Jonah Jameson), who passed away today at 91.

Back when Saturday mornings weren't being run by Litton Entertainment.
Yep. The networks don't want to program children's shows on Saturdays anymore, conceding to online streaming. This is what we get now. Public affairs shows and a Wild Kingdom clone or two.
I'm surprised that Marvel didn't make a Punisher cartoon.
Given the nature of the character, it would've had to be sanitized even more to warrant a series. A cable series, on the other hand.......!
