As far as I know, neither the comics or the games were never officially released in my country, so this show was my only contact with the Sam & Max franchise.
And it was a very good show, shame I didn't pay too much attention to it back then in the day.
Now, some people claim the reason of its lack of success was because the jokes went over the kids' heads, but I have to disagree: In the 90s, there were series like The Ren & Stimpy Show or Rocko's Modern Life which had plenty of adult humor, and still were succesful with their target audience.
Had Sam & Max been part of the original Nicktoons line, this probably would had been one of my favorite series, since I really enjoyed this type of bizarre cartoon wackiness back then.
It would be nice to see another animated version of these characters, either as a movie or as a new television show.
8.5/10.
