[edit]  !!! ?

Why is this page named "Sam & Max: Freelance Police!!!"? I refer specifically to the !!! at the end, which I've never seen at the front outside of Wikipedia. Propose move to "Sam & Max: Freelance Police (animated series)" (to avoid confusion with the canceled LucasArts game - which itself should probably be renamed to have a : in it...). --SevereTireDamage 02:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The title is taken from the title-screen of the show itself, and also helps to differentiate between this and the cancelled game. The cancelled game is named without subtitle to be consistant with Sam & Max Hit the Road — a game I've never seen appear with "Hit the Road" as its subtitle. – Quoth 00:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
My mistake - I hadn't seen the intro in a very long time, after I hunted it down I noticed there is !!! on the title card that shows up for about a second, I just never saw it before. I'd still argue it was just a visual gag and not the actual title. Three sites[1] [2] [3] reference the Fox Kids/Nelvana press kit which actually call the show "The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police." Perhaps that would be more appropriate. (Given, samnmax.net does internally refer to the show with the !!! at the end, so other people did notice it.)
As for the Sam and Max Hit the Road, it's a full sentence, so of course "Hit the Road" wouldn't be considered a subtitle. "Sam and Max: Freelance Police" has always been referred to that way whenever I've seen it. --SevereTireDamage 05:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
I feel either version works well, as neither is incorrect. I'll leave it to your discretion as to whether it needs to be changed or not. Thanks for collaborating :) – Quoth 01:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Episode

As far as memory goes, the Obilesk intro comes from Episode 2: "The Second Show Ever". Am I correct?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.13.149 (talk)

[edit] The Geek

Regarding the recent edits concerning the Geek (whether it is pronounced and spelt "Da Geek" or "The Geek"): I have gone over the relevant sections in the first episode as requested, and feel it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a da (/duh/) or the (/thuh/) in that instance, although I can't hear any trace of a strong D sound at all. That, and the fact that all official documentation has never included a "da," but always "the Geek" or "The Geek" (see the current Nelvana Sam & Max webpage and the press kit from the series launch). Unless there is some reliable sources to the contrary, I will be reverting the changes back to their original form in a few days. – Quoth 00:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Our Bewildering Universe! 'Chock Full O Guts' "

Originally aired between "Tonight We Love" and "The Glazed McGuffin Affair" (see this ep guide) and is available to watch on GameTap. I wasn't sure if the overview field is supposed to be for text or link, so feel free to change if I got it wrong. - Quuux 12:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
