“and the fact that Sonic hasn’t had a majorly successful (or particularly well-received) video game for many of those 25 years makes it even more impressive.”

Love it; don’t see it happening. Putting Sega’s general indifference toward’s Sonic’s old western canon aside, there also the problem of bringing it back or redoing it without also drawing the ire of Ken Penders.

Lack of foxes is disappointing, but as far as the absence of echidnas go... I don’t think Sega wants to risk stepping on this guy’s toes. (Google the pic).

I used to think like you.

I was so young.

We don’t know the concrete reason(s) why yet, but the series suddenly stopped publishing at the start of the year, and Archie keeps kicking back the publishing dates to later and later; while Sonic’s usual staff have been reassigned to other Archie books. It could be that, as a smaller publisher, Archie has decided to…

The three reasons why, despite its quality and cult status, Sonic SatAM didn’t stand a chance of lasting longer than its two season run.

1) Saturday Morning Cartoons were seeing the beginning of their declining period, even back in ‘93. In a lot of markets, affiliates were pre-empting the show for Saturday Morning NCAA…

I don’t believe there’s been a persistent voice actor for him that lasted more than two games.

Jaleel voiced Sonic in both cartoons. And in the 1999 cartoon, Sonic Underground. Basically, through the ‘90s he was Sonic.

Here’s an interview with him from Shout Factory’s DVD:

Small correction, Heather: You say the cartoon was based on the comics; it’s actually the other way around. There was coordination between Sega, DiC and Archie on overall plot, character designs and settings, it takes more time to produce an animated work than a comic book, so the comics saw public release first.…

Yeah, I have the “Last Year” (7559) version of the Inspiron 15, too. Don’t need it to run the latest and greatest at the highest framerate and resolution. Just need it to run the games I want to play without too much muss and fuss.

She was my favorite girl... ‘til the Rebellion movie.

I still feel for her, though.

You’d think a character described as “Hannibal Lecter Meets Bill Gates” would be completely creepy as hell, but Hurt’s performance almost comes across as warm to me; like he’s a secret “father” Ellie didn’t know she had.

Di- Did they say how he died? ... Did he order the special?

OT: Am I the only one who prefers the design of the Enterprise E over the D?

Always glad to star a fellow SFDebris fan. :)

“This series is out of gas”. As a teen, I agreed with Roeper; as an adult... Roger was spot-on.

The director, Stuart Baird, was constantly referring to LaVar Buton as “LaVerne”. He also apparently thought Geordie was an alien. I always found that to be funny.

Sara’s a humanoid princess. Note the tail. The fandom’s best guess is that she’s a cat girl of some sort. That thing on her head’s probably hiding a set of ears.

I think this was Emmerich & Deviln’s entire plan from the start: Re-obtain the rights, say there’s going to be a new movie series, then stall in pre-production... Skip to a few years later, rinse & repeat. Just so that MGM doesn’t attempt to put the franchise back on television. They are that vindictive, and they…

And I find Game Grumps to be intolerable. Arin especially.
