It is since I seen the show that I was wondering why Darla, the geek didn't appear in the adventures... Any reason?
Was it too complex to manage?
Just you did not think about it?
Darla was made exclusively for the show because of some gender BS. As such, The Geek and all her characteristics are probably exclusive to the show.
Though it would be nice to have a refferance to her and maybe even a revisit to the Abandoned Sub-Basement of Solitude... if only to get a bomb or two... hundred... thousand...

As if Max doesn't have access to enough bombs as it is...
Anyway, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Fox owned the rights to the Geek. I could easily be wrong though.
why would they dring back the geek when they could more easily introduce more goofy neighbors of sam and max (maybe even one or two that live in their building)

Actually that's only partially true. The Geek was onle made into a girl because of the gender BS. An extra on the Sam and Max DVDs stated that the Geek was already being developed and had character concepts of The Geek being a boy drawn up prior to Fox saying they needed a female in the show and suggested making Max into a girl.
I liked the concept art they showed in that extra feature too of Max as a girl. Disturbing, but we do get to see a hint of it in the Glazed McGuffin episode.
max as a girl?? gross...:eek:
anyway, the way i see it, the geek grew up, got tired of building hightech nicnacs and, because she doesn't actually know what to do with her life, changed her name to sybil...

Dyed her hair... got thinner... changed her voice... but yeah, nice theory! I did get a chortle from that.
right...like everybody that was in the animated series and is now in the games. i heard max even changed his voice during season 1. probably he finally got into puberty or something...:D
Contrary to what many people assume (and what I used to assume before I knew more about how TV works), it seems like Steve Purcell really was quite prepared to make Sam & Max a kid's show. It's not like he went in with a show that was exactly like the comics and then Fox forced him to tone it down, add extra characters, and put it on Saturday mornings. Such a fundamental disagreement over the nature of the show would've been an issue before any significant development began. He didn't see the finished show on the air and then say, "Hey, wait a minute! This isn't what I expected at all!"

Agreed. It's like with Invader Zim. Vasquez (sp?) clearly intended to make a show that was far less offensive than Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Nickelodeon didn't censor it all to hell like fans of the comic would have you believe. While I dislike the show's version of Sam & Max, it's pure Purcell. I still say the Geek was tacked on, though.
And the funniest thing is, for a while they were considering going through with the suggestion, but never really refering to Max's gender in the show. Just have him in the dress. But they considered that to be too big of a nusiance as eventually they would have to use some kind of gender pronoun. So they changed th Geek instead.
Can you find the isolation shot from Tonight We Love where Max is dressed in drag as well? I would, but my DVD player on my computer doesn't have screen capture capabilities. Oh, and using the PrtScrn button won't work either for some reason I do not understand.

It's got to do with how the picture is displayed via hardware instead of software to save power. Windows only sees a blank screen, your video card puts a picture there.

No, the wedding dress is from the 'Previously on Sam and Max' bit after the intro of the first episode. The same montage shows them shrunk by a mad scientist, fighting an octopus under the sea, riding through the jungle on a warthog and holding Max up to the sun on Pride Rock.

What other cartoon has all that? None, that's what. Sam and Max really are the best!
why is it that cross dressing is so common with anthropomorphic animals?
There's two answers to this.
The pretentious one is to do with the Trickster Archetype associated with cartoon characters, particularly nonhuman ones, and the fact that animals are culturally considered genderless.
i like to see the Geek she thing that got me in to the show and then the
rest of sam and max so if she douse re-ton for a episode it wood be cool by fore like gust fore and example sam and max are in Sub-Basement of Solitude
and max: say sam what is this pleas. sam:you Knuckle-head you fore got the Sub-Basement of Solitude where are old friend The Geek lived. max: then why is it surcharge a dump. sam. she was a kid and a scientist and she work hard she didn't care muck fore well muck over than science plus she hasten been hear for sum time after she was recruited of some secret project. max: which was what? sam: I don't now but when you ask that we had to replace that metal plat in you head. and then the geek sows up whey well I guest I did all that pulse I have eye problems OK and it was and example but if tell-tale turd it in to and episode well I wood be honour.

His original voice got the flu.
BTW, is Andrew back recording anything for TTG? I haven't been paying that much attention to the credits to check.

Though, wasn't Sam the one that crossdressed the most in the show?
So THAT'S how that works! *high five*
O_O
....good god
........and while we're on the subject of Sam and Max in dresses
Also as for the other topic in this thread... why is it that cross dressing is so common with anthropomorphic animals?

Cos Moral Gaurdians don't seem to notice animals doing it. they do notice sponges though.
...good double god...

The other one is 'because it's funny'.
rest of sam and max so if she douse re-ton for a episode it wood be cool by fore like gust fore and example sam and max are in Sub-Basement of Solitude

Also, nifty gadgets does not a fun adventure game make.
