Sam & Max cartoon coming to GameTap
GameTap users will soon be able to watch The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the animated show that was on Fox Kids back in the late nineties. The first episode will debut this Thursday, October 12, and will percolate at a rate of one episode per week. GameTap TV will also be airing a "Making of Sam & Max" original show.
The Sam & Max show ran for 24 episodes. If GameTap keeps their promise of one episode per week, we'll have something to look forward to every week until March 22, 2007. As for Sam & Max: Season One:
The first installment debuts next Tuesday, October 17. GameTap users gloat about their fifteen day exclusivity.
On November 1, everyone can get Sam & Max. GameTap users lose bragging rights but still get the animated show.
Periods of gloating recommence in December, for 15 days each month, until the end of the season in April.
Sam & Max: Season One, sans GameTap, will be $9 per episode or $35 for a season pass.
