enzocodini A long time ago i discovered Sam & Max, in the form of the game Season One or Save The World in consoles. My 13 year old self was impressed, and decided to play all the other games. Soon after i finished with all the game series, i read somewhere on the net that there was a comic and an animated series about the duo. Then here i am, like half a decade later writing this review, so yeah, let's start. So i used two words to describe this: cheesy and edgy. Why? Why is it cheesy? This is cheesy because it is absurd, unrealistic. That's a good thing, though, as it matches perfectly the comic's "weirdy" atmosphere, where weird things happen, and these are so stupid they are unbelievable. This is what makes this cartoon funny.Why is it edgy? Some things here have double meaning, and some i'm surprised they weren't censored, or cut out, for example, in some dialog Sam slaps Max in the face, tells him to stay calm, and Max answers saying "Hit me again, i like it.". The comic's nature is like this, which makes this a good adaptation, even if it is very adapted for kids. So in conclusion, i think this is a good cartoon, though it is not for everyone. This is very very cheesy as i said earlier, but so are the games and comics. If you liked the duo's other media, you'll like this.

tommypezmaster This is an awesome show with only 1 season, it starts out light hearted in tone like The Wacky World of Tex Avery, but later it takes a darker approach like in Regular Show.for the characters, you Have Sam and Max, a cop duo, than you have a orange haired girl nick-named Geek, a boss that the duo works with, and you have a Squidward Tennicals-espied stalker in a nerd get up named Lorne (Roger Bumpass would be perfect for him ^^), .as I said, This series is based on a series comics, but this awesome show made it better.And Nicktoons needs to Claim this, because they already ruined enough fake educational shows already like CatDog, Yakkity Yak and The Might B!. Becareful Fans, because Spongbob could be NN's next said Victim @_@ So if you like the comics, Check this out ^^ *starts Singing* Sam and Max, Exploding on to your computer screens with laughs, Makes a humor any size, and he's yours to customize, oh Yeah! they're the awesome S and M! Cross, Explode, the star of there very own show, The Hige Hige Bandits Causing Trouble, Shout Helps Freelance Police on the DoubleLook out, there there the original freelance police!

TopRacer2000 I got into Sam & Max through the videogame by lucasarts which although 8 or 9 years old now is still one of the funniest things i have ever seen. So i was pretty excited to hear a t.v. show was going to be made. After a few episodes though you start to realise that although somewhat interesting this series isn't half as funny as the game or the few sam and max comics ive read. It has it's moments though, although most jokes will produce wry smiles at best rather than the rolling on the floor laughing state that the game frequently put you into. I think the cartoon was heavily censored to prevent sam & max getting too sadistic or p**s-taking in their humour, unfortunately this makes the whole show feel watered-down. Sam & Max would've worked out better as a show aimed towards adults with no censorship then this censored version aimed at kids. Also the voices aren't as good in the cartoon as in the game,sam's is o.k. but Max's is pretty poor in comparison and his voice grates on the ear a lot, overall though there are worse ways to waste a 1/2 hour , the show is ok it just couldve been a lot better,if you want an example of how good it should have been go buy the game.which had lines like.Sam: (after throwing a bomb he discovered out the window) I hope there was no-one on that bus. Max: No-one we knew at least.One of the most disappointing aspects of the show is how none of the characters from the game (except obviously Sam & Max) reappear

JJFabbsy I love this cartoon!I first got introduced to Sam and Max thru their Lucasarts video games, and when I heard about this cartoon, I HAD to see it :)It was everything I expected, even though it was a kid's show, it still had the same "adult" humour present in the video game. The stories are funny, the gags are funny and the relationship between Sam and Max is just special.If you loved the game, you KNOW you'll love this. If you haven't seen the game, watch this, love it, THEN get the game.No, I am not a Lucasarts employee, this show really rules :)
