Season 3 may have been the last
Well correct me if I'm wrong... but I fear that Season 3 may well have been the last Sam & Max season, and a Season 4 isn't being planned. Well how else can we explain the sudden appearance of all the living characters in the finale?! And I'm taking into account the fact that it was made a few years after S2 - maybe it was a comeback special or something! Your thoughts?

Season 4 is threatened, I see that much. And I'm not talking about Fables and King's Quest (both too much fairy tale stuff, if you ask me ), but about the revenue from BTTF, JP and TWD. If Telltale gets the idea that those last franchises are where the money is, well... THEN we'd have a problem.
I think we'd better talk to Steve Purcell about this!
But I stand by what I said before: Season 3 was surely the end of TTG's Sam & Max era.
When Brave has finally seen the light of day and Steve Purcell has become a superstar, Season 4 will not be a problem any more.
NE-VAlllRRRR.
It's got the rockiest history ever, and something keeps saving it over and over.
It just doesn't die.
Telltale wise, however, that ending seemed pretty...final, yeah. I doubt they were thinking "well that's that. Let's never do this again", but you definitely get the sense they were intending to put some closure there, at least for a good while.
Did telltale get the deal with universal before or after then?
Ahhhh no. Since Episode 5 released, only one year, nine months and one day have passed. Yup, I'm counting.
...errrrr, was there ever an explanation why "Sammun-Mak" was actually called "Sammun-Mak"?!
The end of Season 3 has nothing to do with the Universal deal. The way 305 was written it felt like it was bringing together years of Sam & Max content, so we wanted the ending to feel like that as well. That's not to prevent a hypothetical episode 401 from just throwing a bucket of mud all over that ending and rolling on like nothing happened. That's part of why Sam & Max is good.
Yes. That is why it felt like a true end in the Telltale series, if not a finale for all the game series as a whole, including Hit the Road.
Like I said way before in my review of Season 3 in the form of a forum post, I said I'd be satisfied if The Devil's Playhouse is the end. It wraps everything up so well, has that form of a "reset ending" that surprisingly doesn't feel like betraying you for your loyalty as a fan but instead sets the tone for the whole events that have happened up until that point in true Sam and Max fashion, and it's simply very very good. I feel like Season 3 finale rewarded my long dedication and bonding to the entire franchise.
It doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy for a Season 4, I mean I would most certainly be. Just that I think everyone should be aware you people have set a bar so high that will take quite a time in development to create something that will carry it even much higher -if you guys ever want to carry the joy & burden to do it again. In any case, I'm good.

But i wouldn mind an entire new Sam & Max game from telltale. still with humor, but maybe in a darker universe / setting.
Sam & max would fit in a dark universe with some dark comedy.
Probably not immediately though.
