Sam & Max: Freelance Police!
Say, I know Nelvana has the rights to this show, but I wonder if you'd be willing to release it on DVD. Maybe you can get Steve Purcell, the creator of that pair of comical heroes made up of the dog wearing the suit, and the episodic, psychotic lagomorph, involved in the production of such. I'm sure it would be a good idea! Then again, what hasn't?

Hmmm... You may be onto something there. *hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink*

Sweet Merciful Mario Brothers, eating heaping helpings of Shroom Pasta! Do ya think Steve Purcell could be willing to supply the lost episode "Fools Die on Friday"?

If I remember correctly this series was canceled before it could finish showing all it's episodes.  So, there were some episodes not shown on TV that were made.  It would be neat to see these episodes in a collection with the episodes that were shown on TV.

Yeah. It might as well be known as "Sam & Max: Freelance Police - The Complete Series, And Then Some!" Because it would mean that all the Lost Episodes will be put on the DVD, I hope.

It was a long time ago since I've last seen it if I've seen it at all. I checked wikipedia (inaccurate I know) and there lists 24 episodes. Shouldn't it have 26 episodes? I'm actually confused around here.

Actually, the majority of full-length seasons are only 22 episodes. There are some notable exceptions, of course.

In the case of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, there were only 13 half-hour episodes. Don't get excited... I know what you're thinking. All but two of these episodes (the first and last) were split up into two cartoons a piece. Therefore, the total number of stories is 24 spread out over 13 episodes.

Oh, and by the way... We're developing this title's box set right now. Tee hee...

P.S.-- That's right. I said it. "Tee hee."

Brian Ward, I believe Sam said it best, when he said this: "You crack me up, little buddy!"

RE: Sam & Max: Freelance Police!
I was wondering Brian, there is a Christmas special of Sam And Max, would this be considered as one of the episodes on the set or a separate episode entirely.  Secondly I think it would be neat to have a link on the DVD of scanned images from the Telltale Sam And Max webisode comics.  Finally, I once saw at a comic shop a comic of Sam and max, It would be neat to include this on the DVD.  Here is a link to an image of it.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sam_%26_Max_-_Surfin_The_Highway_%28front_cover%29.jpg

Too large. Maybe the comic book version of "Bad Day on The Moon" would do. I wish there was a Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway reprint, though.

Well, there's some possibly good news for you... check this thread on the Telltale Games Sam & Max board.

From the Lois Buhalis' (Sam & Max comic letterer)  livejournal page: Sunday was more of the same. I had wanted to see the Sam and Max panel, which was about the internet game mostly, so I could see Steve Purcell, who I think I haven't seen in about 10 years or so. It was a really interesting panel, and good to check in with Steve. There are still some unfinished Sam & Max pages and I might get to letter them! They'd probably go into the soon-to-be-released reprint collection.

Well, at least the Reprint is a good way for me to read the Sam & Max Comics for the first time since I used to have ONE from the Fox Kids Magazine. I just wish there were scans of "Bad Day On The Moon."

Patience, man. If we leave him alone, we'll get it in due time. Besides, the news from this very thread has made it on TVShowsonDVD.com's site, complete with the news for it!

There is no date, as of yet. I'd like to see it in stores sooner rather than later, but there are some things we have to figure out first. Stay tuned...

Hey Brian I hope you can figure out any issues you may have with the series. You will make a lot of people happy if you get this out on DVD.  It would be great to have Steve Purcell commentaries on the episodes he wrote as well. Best of Luck!

Well, the first season of the PowerPuff Girls included the What A Cartoon Powerpuff cartoons, and 'The Whoopass Girls," Craig McCracken's original work on there, so what's gonna stop Shout Factory and Steve Purcell from including the lost episodes on THIS boxset, besides a legal restraint?

Gametap put it's video on demand stuff up for free on their website so now anyone can watch the S&M episodes. 

Hopefully this won't effect the sales.  At least there is only one season of this show and won't have to worry about whether or not a second season DVD will be released based on sales.

Yeah, at least that's true! And the DVDs are just HIGHER quality versions of the episodes put up on Gametap, and on Youtube. So once the DVDs come out, you can watch the episodes in brilliant video quality as only Shout Factory, and other DVD companies, can bring it.

Good news, gang: Nelvana has officially approved the final, colored version of the slipcase cover. As soon as I get the greenlight from the powers-that-be, I'll give you a sneak peek. Personally, I think it's pretty amazing.

So that everyone's on the same page, we're dealing with a slipcase and two thinpaks (which will hold three discs; you do the math!) that will all be unique, exclusive illustrations by none other than Steve Purcell himself.  The slipcase cover is what's officially approved by Nelvana.  The two thinpaks should be turned in shortly.  Looking forward to seeing them.
