I have always heard this is a good film... thought it was about time to find out for myself. I went in a little nervous about it as this is the type of film I never enjoyed much in the past. But I must admit I enjoyed this one quite a bit. While there was some parts of the story that felt a little slow for my taste...the story itself was done well and the cast did a great job with it. While it took a bit to get me into the story once I did I was hooked and couldn't look away. This is one I feel confident about recommending.

I just finished watching this one with my brother. It has been many years since I saw this movie. I actually forgot how much I enjoyed it! Sure there was some slow scenes in it... but even they kept me interested in the story. My mind didn't drift at all during the film. If there was anything I would have liked to have seen differently it is how the film ended. While I understand why it ended the way it did... and even enjoyed the way it ended.... I think I would have preferred it to end the opposite way. But if it did... it would have changed the entire second movie. We enjoyed watching this one so much this morning that as soon as it was over... my brother and I popped in the second film in the series. I highly recommend it!

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom

Sam & Max: Freelance Police: The Complete Animated Series (1997/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Shout! Factory (United States) Length: 300 min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Subtitles:

---

Plot:
The adventures of 'SAM & MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!' is an edgy and often irreverent, impudent, insolent, impious and silly series about a pair of likeable law enforcement types who don't take crap (oops! we mean guff) from anybody. It's about the timeless struggle between good, evil and snacktime; the weekly mishaps of a six-foot dog-Sam and a three-foot rabbity-thing (though he prefers the term 'lagomorph')-Max-who have a mirthful time trying to resolve only the weirdest criminal cases of the day. Really.

For your own good, and the good of mankind, enjoy 'SAM & MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!'

Based on Steve Purcell's enormously popular underground comic. Original package illustrations by Steve Purcell.


Sam & Max: Freelance Police
1.01 The Thing That Wouldn't Stop It (1997-10-04)
Writer: Steve Purcell (Created By), J. D. Smith (Writer)
Director: Steve Whitehouse
Cast: Harvey Atkin (Sam (voice)), Robert Tinkler (Max (voice)), Tracey Moore (Geek (voice))

The 1993 "Sam'n'Max: Hit the Road" PC game is one of my all-time favorite games. I played it through countless of times, just because of the characters and the humor.
This TV series has partly the charm of the game. It is worth a watch. The first episode I didn't enjoy as much as some of the others though.
