Games vs Animated Series
Is anyone else having a dissapointing time rewatching the cartoon after playing all of the games? The difference in the personalities is possibly more annoying than having to adjust to different voices. It's like trying to watch SatAM Sonic after reading the comic series & quite possibly like a car crash you can't take your eyes off of.
*Note: If you haven't rewatched it, or have never seen it, please watch an episode or on Veoh.com before posting. http://www.veoh.com/videos/v7405997GQRMcshk But if you want to keep your memories of enjoying the show pure, don't watch it; childhood favorites are almost always dissapointing 10 years latter, like Tales from the Crypt Keeper & Carmen Sandieogo. X-men & Gargoyles are still good though....& this is why I want a new cartoon, based on the updated personalities of Sam & Max, prefurably shown late on something like Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, or Spike TV, written by Steve Purcell, with the same cast of voice actors (or people that canclosely immitate their voices). If the episodic game series goes on long enough, someone's bound to offer.
Anyone else with Sam & Max had a Wikiquotes page, or even their own Wiki, like Homestar Runner?

I still enjoy the TV series and always have. Steve even wrote a few episodes himself including one that was based almost scene for scene on one of the original comics. Sure the voices are different and Sam is a little more crazier and it's a bit watered down, but it's still enjoyable and captures the essense of Sam & Max. (holy run-on sentence!)
Like Beetlejuice, The Adams Family, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Living Creepy, Celebrity Death Match, Aeon Flux, The Max, Liquid Television, Family Guy, Futurama, Duckman, The Critic, Garry the Rat, Dilbert, Mr. Hell, Two Stupid Dogs, Invader Zim, Clerks, Freekazoid, Earthworm Jim, Super Dave, The Tick kind of standing out?
So watered down it's drowning. It's a mind numbingly sugar-coated killjoy. Must watch Duckman.....
Or Sonic X.Not only is that show horrible, but why were Sonic and Knuckles playing chess?On the outside of a spaceship in orbit?Ever seen a Spiky Blue-Haired lagomorphic hedgehog playing against a lagomorphic red Echidna with dreadlocks in chess?It's odd.
Wrong Sonic. I'm talking about the one from the 90s with Princess Sally. It spawned a comic series that became serious down the line & far surpassed the cartoon, making it look as childish as it really was. If you're saying that it was "also" terrible, I can say that it sure was in English. I watched the poorly fansubbed Chinese version because couldn't stand the American voice actors. All I can say about that series is that it makes it look like Sonic has a crush on Knuckles somehow.....
I'd rather compare Max to Happy Noodle Boy, but then I realize I only "wish" he was that psychotic. Sam is more like McGruff gone awry who keeps making me think about Gilligan's Island every time he says "you crack me up, little buddy."
Actually I think the comic series actually started first, but then started to take on some of the SatAM's story elements as it went on. I could be wrong tho, but I'm pretty sure the comic came before the 3 animated shows.
edit: checked on wikipedia and it said that the Archie comic started early 1993 where SatAM started September 1993. Sure it wasn't that much of a head start, but a head start none the less.

they're all there...
And you're posting this why?
the ball apparently had already been dropped
I'm sad to say that I was a Sonic ubergeek for 10 years & acutally did a History of Sonic the Hedgehog for a school essay. The comic was supposed to pick up where the cartoon left off. I will admit that the Wiki wasn't around when I did the essay though. I got sick of the comics after Knuckles got cancelled & moved on to manga.

Hmmm, I guess it either Super Mario Brothers, Bad Dog, or Beetlejuice, cuz I sure don't remember it from Law & Order.
Okay maybe I shouldn't of told you guys about that.And I searched Sonic & Knuckles for the GAME not the... yeah...
I don't know how the comic was supposed to "pick up where the comic left off" when it started about the same time as the 2 cartoons AND the SatAM one lasted 2 seasons...
Plus I remember reading the comic while the tv series was still running. Plus I remember it was him by himself (and tails) for a while but then they started bringing in the Freedom Fighters stuff.
4Kids didn't make the cartoon. It was a japanese show that they liscenced and dubbed.
I forget to mention the dub part... but the dub is the BAD one, the original isn't great, it's decent though.Especially when Japanese Speaking Sonic said a major cuss in English.I wonder how "****" got translated to "Cream"?
I think if you took HtR Max's taunting and fighting, TV Max's cutaway gags and detachments from reality and everything else from Telltale Max, he'd be perfect. And if you took TV Sam's constant cheerful demeanor and awesome voice and fused it with Telltale Sam's deadpan delivery, he'd be perfect. But that's just my opinion.
I do seem to have a thing for the annoying sidekicks,
as for a S&M wiki revolving around the animated series, what would the point be? Wikis are best suited for things dynamically changing, which the series is not.
The only real point of interest would be this Doctor Who reference in one of the episodes:

His Japanese voice was good.
Precicely; it would take all the mediums & let the nerdiest brains of the fans link them all together, & point out things less observational fans either would have missed or would have ended up spending hours looking up on various websites.
Do you really think that three exact copies of each other, only seperated by mustaches and glasses could really exist? If one of the Snucky's workers was Benard, what about the other two?;)
Sid Hoffman and Sid Frenchman, of course!
I love that game... good times.
