An idea
Telltale, i know this is a shot in the dark
but how about doing an episodic adventure game based around the Max & Ruby license?
I mean Double Fine is doing a Sesame Street game
and with antics (*hinthint* schilling for the gov't) from the Seame Street characters like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-niQ_PZtS4
a Max & Ruby game is a must
Plus it can be twice as awesome if you do this for the 3DS
Think about it
Max & Ruby + Telltale's humor = Screw all demographics, Must buy this game!
Yeah i know Max & Ruby is a kids series
but may i direct you to a series that broke the demographic mold, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
If the wife of Craig McCracken (Lauren Faust) can do a girl-aimed cartoon that can attract grown up and young adult males.. then why not do the same with a episodic Max & Ruby adventure game?

Though I do see where coming from with this; I was forced a few times to sit and watch the show when I as over at my cousin's house. Though as I watched the show and how the characters would just pick up objects and use them to make something new or fix something; I would sometimes imagined how it could be easily manipulatied into an episodic format. Sadly the more and more I thought about it; I could never imagine any profit coming out of it. Also, I always easily bored by most kid shows, specifically this one. The voice-actting I found rather pathetic as it never seem to had any real depth or life to it. The stories of each episode of the show were so ridiculosly stupid and pointless to the point where they made absolutly no sense whatsoever. It could've been anything from "Let's all go to Grandma's house" to "Max's bedtime story." Granted it was a kid's show targeted to children 6 and under, roughly; so I didn't really expect to be at all "entertained." Which is the main intention of an adventure game, after all. So I don't see how any game designer would be able to pull any sortive remotely interesting storyline out of this series, much less make it entertainingt for it's key 13+ demographic. Plus I can't think of any average gamer who would be willing to sit through all the bad and annoying dialouge in the show, much less a 3 to 4 hour game.
In short, I can't see why Telltale would waste their time on this because they would go through so much work trying to get the liscense/ proper voice talent for characters, make an interesting storyline, make puzzle that could be easy enough for the 3-6 demographic, and in return hardly make any profit off of it.
