Synopsis

The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police or Sam & Max: Freelance Police!!! is an American animated television series which features a pair of crime-fighting private investigators (represented as a dog and a "hyperkinetic rabbity-thing", respectively) based in New York City. The show was created by Steve Purcell, originator of both the Sam & Max characters and the original comic book series. The series first aired in October 1997 on Fox Kids in the United States and YTV in Canada, producing 24 episodes and winning the 1998 Gemini Award for "Best Animated Series" before it was canceled in April 1998. With the exception of the first and last episodes, which each had a running time of about 20 minutes, each episode was approximately 10 minutes in length, excluding commercials, and were usually aired in pairs.

The series revolves around the freelance police accepting missions from the mysterious Commissioner, whom they have never seen. The assignments usually lead them into far-off and exotic locales such as the Moon, Mount Olympus, the center of the Earth or the mutant inhabited waters of Bohunk lagoon. In between these official adventures, the pair also manage to squeeze in fridge-spelunking, time-travelling, Bigfoot-hunting and numerous other escapades. There were even holiday episodes, like visiting a prison on Christmas and delivering an artificial heart on Valentine's Day.
