The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police

Sam & Max is a totally different breed of comic than your standard "Captain America" superhero book or "Dilbert" newspaper strip. And Steve Purcell, the artist and thinker behind the madness, had a lot of guts making it into a Fox kids TV show, since it was more of an "adultish" comic duo. The sad part is that a lot of Sam & Max fans were dissatisfied with the more family-friendly atmosphere, since it introduced a brainy little girl called simply "Geek" that designed improbable and incredible gadgets for the duo.

But I'm here to allay your fears.

The sort of humor backing every episode is classic Sam & Max. No, maybe it's not exactly like the comic books. No, maybe it isn't a carbon copy of Lucasart's fantastic adventure game "Sam & Max: Hit the Road." But what you will find in here is Sam using a wide vocabulary and spouting off bombastic exclamations. Max is the same old hyperkinetic rabbity-thing that just wants to see justice served as violently as possible. And while the whole of the series is a bloodless affair, you'll find most of the humor in the banter that is volleyed between the two at a dizzying pace. The dialogue, the tasteful use of puns, and the voice work are impeccable.

It proves that you don't necessarily have to make something more edgy to make it good. While there are cheesy parts in places due to the sometimes-too-tame atmosphere, it's an overall very enjoyable romp through the world of Sam & Max. Besides, what kids these days are going to get jokes like a parodied Jerry Springer or the game show password? It's a little childish in spots, but it's definitely Sam & Max, and you're going to love it.

Oh baby! If you like funny dog and funny lagomorph or if you have more than 2 brain cells (sorry amoebas) then you should watch this it's quite good.

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*

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 :)

The writing in this show was phenomenal, and they jam-packed nearly every episode with some of the best jokes out there. Doesn't matter how many times you watch the series, you'll always find something new you didn't notice before.

Coming from playing just the 1993 "Sam & Max Hit The Road", I was SO pleased to find out the show was just as entertaining as the game was. As the game did, it pushes the limits of what can be possible on a show like this. To have great writing, great animation, and be entertaining at the same time? Few can nail it like Sam & Max: Freelance Police can!

I want the media I watch to keep me engaged, and be interesting to watch. This series more than accomplished that for me. This show is definitely one of my favorites ever, and I highly recommend you give it a watch!
