grovrolf Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I sent an email to someone at nelvana some time ago, asking when the hell we'll see a dvd release of the TV series. The reply: "Currently "Sam & Max" is not avaialble on DVD. There is a possibility of a US deal with Nickelodeon that is still in the works." It's not much, but it sounds good with the ongoing-deal part WOHOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlink Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I never liked the idea of putting tv series on dvd. It just seemed wrong to have that much control over a tv show. I changed my mind once I saw the MST3K stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinkie Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Why would they make a deal with Nickolodean? They didn't have anything to do with the series... I don't think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I'd certainly buy the S&M cartoon if it were released on dvd. But I'd still be freaked-the-hell-out by the different voices (different from "Hit the road", that is) .. I'd watch it and think.. "aack that's not his voice!!"

Matt Wilson Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I think you guys are confused. What the guy is saying is that, though there is no DVD deal of Sam and Max, Nelvana is working with Nickelodeon on airing Sam and Max reruns on their station. It has nothing to do with Nick making a DVD, or whatever. They're technically two separate statements, but placed together because they wanted to cheer up the fan. The reason I believe it is because Nelvana WOULD go to Nickelodeon. Right now, DiC has a huge deal for programming with Nickelodeon, and whenever DiC has a deal with a channel, Nelvana follows soon after. DiC and Nelvana are like happy little boy and girl, holding hands and skipping merrily down the lane. When DiC wanted to buy Fox Kids, they were going to cut a deal with Nelvana and give them an hour of airtime to themselves (for E/I content, of course). Now, this deal didn't work out, but I just felt I should give an example. If Nelvana was making a deal with Nickelodeon, they wouldn't just be giving them Sam and Max. They'd probably be giving them other shows like Eek the Cat too. Sam and Max, if aired, would probably be placed on the Sunday afternoon SLAM block, Nick's somewhat-crappy action block that has Invader Zim, Speed Racer, Robot Wars, and Butt-Ugly Martians.

Jester Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Matt Wilson. That name sounds pleasantly familiar. Like Pac Man. Ghosts included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 No knocking Zim. Those other shows are questionable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Matt Wilson made the old Sam and Max comic with the flying duck right? Eg... I think I got that wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlink Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Speed Racer is still on tv? Whats wrong with society? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 But knocking the Matt Wilson is silly, as he has shown that he knows a helluva lot about kids TV cartoon lineups and their seedy corporate underpinnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
