Just because they died last season, doesn't mean they can't still come back, killed-off characters have come back before remember: Hugh Bliss, SCP, Brady Culture...:rolleyes:
Does anyone think all this speculation and all this waiting will make the series 3 feel crap and not worth it in comparison of what we thought it might have been?

Naaaah. Telltale are getting better and better. If your expectation is within reason it will be fine
I wouldn't be surprised if the first episodes of Season 3 overlapped with the final episode(s) of TMI. Remember, they released both Season 1 and Season 2 near the end of the year. (Oct 2006 and Nov 2007 respectively.)

It's likely through another perspective - TMI Season One overlapped the last episode of Wallace and Gromit Season One.

While you make a point about death in the S&M universe, the death of the soda poppers seemed to be more of a joke between the fan base and the writers. The way the poppers were handled in season 2 was a nod to fans not liking them and with their evil villain stereo type of a last scene, them saying they would be back only to have the lava come down on them seemed to be the exclamation point of "no they won't, we get it and give in! - love, the writers."
To bring them back would take away from that punchline and considering how well it was executed, it would be shame to do that.

I'm just pointing out the possibility, I don't actually want them back.
All this whining is driving me nuts! People keep asking for new series, but keep whining about the delay of this! Telltale is a small company. In order to release everything one year after the next, they'd have to at least cancel one series or abbreviate the seasons for a new series! If there really needs to be a new series, I think that they should run on a three season pattern. Three seasons come out for series x y or z, and then it goes on hiatus for two years.
If we don't hear about Season 3 by the end of TMI then I think a small uprising is on the agenda
Ah! Just checked Tales of Monkey Island wiki. The last episode is to be released in November/December. That's not the November projection. And as Telltale don't release their games fully into December, as the Sam and Max gaming scheldue show.
Maybe we won't get any S+M until...gulp...January...
It would make sense to start releasing Season 3, considering Season 1 Episode 1 was released in 2006 and Season 2's opening episode 2008, in 2010. I think it'll be hard to beat S1&2 (S2 was slightly better for me and both better than Tales, which I think is brilliant). But the groove they're in at the moment, they're capable of great things.
After that, another Wallace & Gromit? Leisure Suit Larry? Grim Fandango? DuckTales? The end of Bone? A new Monkey Island? Something entirely new? Who knows.
Ditto. TTG would never deprive clamoring fans of their favorite franchise. Granted, I would like another Bone game, but Sam and Max are much more important. Also-Leisure Suit Larry? Really? Sorry that series died. Besides, I'd like something more original, anyways.

Monkey Island and (as a computer game franchise) Sam & Max died too, but Telltale resurrected those.
I don't think anyone wants to touch LSL with a ten-foot pole for a while. It's reputation has been tainted too much by the last few titles. Unless Al Lowe gets personally involved, they should just leave it be.

I don't think Al Lowe will touch it either...at least til he gets the rights back, and then we will see about a new game.
I'd kind of like to see what they could do with Bone now that they've got more freedom in how they set scenes with the W&G and ToMI interface. I know it's unpopular (so please, no flaming) but Bone is an epic-y series, so the fancy camera angles would really help it out a lot. Not to mention they've got a much better handle on what they're capable of development schedule-wise. Not that I'm expecting a reboot any time soon, I'm just saying that's a series I'd love to see them come back to eventually. It'd be a helluva yardstick.
Now that I've finally played it recently, I think Strong Bad is "just OK". I didn't really like or dislike it. Perhaps because I wasn't familiar with the characters before. I somewhat enjoyed the game, but it didn't really compare in terms of quality to the other Telltale games I've played.
It does feel like I've been waiting for a new Sam & Max season forever already. Strong Bad was very hit and miss for me, but the same is true of the content it was based off of. Wallace and Gromit was ok but a little slow. Monkey Island has so far been pretty good (err, excellent for most developers but only pretty good for Telltale), has yet to live up to Season 2 of Sam & Max, definite potential to get there.
Well Sam & Max is a particular brand of humor, you don't really get it from anywhere else. Soo this is why I'm still really excited about a new season..
I hope they resume Sam & Max S3 while they're compiling the TMI DVD then announce in late Jan the new season, complete with first episode release late March.

I wouldn't be happy with the late March release - I've got exams in June again, so it would interfere deeply.
A lot of MI... A season per year till end of times would be just what I need :D:D
Another Sam&Max and 2 titles I'd like to see them to make are of course Larry but also Indiana Jones. I just can't live with the fact Lucas makes new Indy games only for consoles and that they make them as Action Games. I just need Indiana Jones to come back with a great Adventure Game and I'm convice TTG can make something big with it.
My only games of choice: Strong Bad and Sam and Max, and maybe Wallace and Gromit, I don't really get Monkey Island. but anyways, I can't wait for Season 3 of Sam and Max
I'm a fan of Strongbad and Homestar Runner but I just could not get into the games. I dunno why. They're hilarious in little animated shorts, but over the course of a couple hours...I guess it was just hard to connect with a setting and characters that have such a small link to reality.
I did not know about Strong Bad before TT did the series. Now that I've played the game I found the characters endearing enough -- if not for Marzipan I'd have loved the games much more.

Where did you hear that?

I'm sure. I'm sure...
Yeah. But if it takes more than 2 years from now, I just MIGHT lose my patience.

They weren't even funny when they were fresh
It's likely through another perspective - TMI Season One overlapped the last episode of Wallace and Gromit Season One.
So according to wikipedia's scheldue of TMI, we uprise December the 1st.

He never had the rights in the first place, Sierra did. Telltale must approach them, then get Al Lowe on board.
I want a second Wallace & Gromit season.
Telltale MUST finish the Bone games.
No more Strong Bad, please.
And what Telltale really need to change themes is a sci-fi adventure. Something like The Dig 2 or a new Space Quest would be perfect...
This man speeks truth.
More MI and Wallace, and Sam and Max are always great too.
But for heavens, no more Strongbad, pretty please.
The hype = If increased too much, ruins your playing experience of season 3.
Angry Players = Developers making the series, make it totally different to appeal to fans.
^ I really hope this doesn't happen.

Fixed.
I liked SBCG4AP, and I had never heard of Homestar Runner before!
The games looked amazing, though.
