I had a real hard time choosing with this. I like Sam and Max in nearly every medium, as it is always so different than anything else (which is the point).
My first introduction was from the LA game, which led me to the comics... there was a big break until the TV show, and a bigger break until TTG.
However, I have to give my vote to the TTG version because it is still being produced, and has been wildly successful thusfar. I can't wait to see what happens next in the series.
/I would have loved to see more of Sam and Max out of all 4 options, and only 1 of those options is going to happen in the foreseeable future.
Personally I can't decide. I grew up playing the Lucas Arts game when I was wee and I knew about the TV show after the game which I loved. It was only when I found out about the TTG that I found out it had been a comic 20 years ago and that was where it originated from. Whats good about the TTG it keeps to a simular format of the original game and keeps the characters the same. But I enjoy all over them equally!

you grew up playing it? how long did it take you to finish that game?:D
no, i can't really decide what medium i like best, they're all a bit different. the comic has the most detail..like all the rats for example, running around and doing their stuff. the stories are a bit...simple though. the games and animated series have storylines and the voiceacting also adds to the characters. the animation in the series is more dynamic than in the games, but it's a bit watered down for the younger audience.
I have only read the web comic so far, but as soon as I get my hands on the hardback of Surfin', I have a pretty good feeling that it will top the throne. I am, however, pleased to say that I think TTG has topped Hit the Road with its second season. Chariots of the dogs was nothing short of perfection.
01 - Comic
02 - Hit the Road
03 - Telltale Seasons
04 - Animated Series
05 - The rest
A lifesize Max plushie could make the number one if it appeared. It's actually pretty hard to say which "medium" I like the most. I'd put both first and second place together, Telltale series following closly just after. This doesn't mean that the animated series is in some way worse ... It's just another brand of the Sam & Max medicine.
My vote goes for the comics.
First of all, it was my introduction to Sam & Max. I love the humor (as with any other Sam & Max medium), but I am amazed by the artwork in the comics as well; it's excellent!
The Telltale Sam & Max games would be my second choice.
Comics: You can hear the voices in your head, but the lack of movement makes you vulnerable to distraction. (Says the girl who owns enough comics to open her own shop). Might change my mind after the comic actually arrives in my mail box.
Lucas Game: Less interactive than the newer. Looks better with the Super Eagle graphic filter that blurs the pixel jaggies.
Animated Series: For some reason, child-friendly things irritate me.
Telltale Games (Series): Addictive, but makes one subject to withdrawl symptoms between seasons. (Good thing SBCG4AP & Grimm will be out to fill that gap).

The games supply me with much more entertainment, no doubt, but the comic book is huggable and stainable and wrinkled past repair - I love it so.
Well technically I still need to grow up so it's continuing!
