The Best Sonic Cartoon Ever Made, December 11, 2001
Finally, the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon that aired on ABC in 1993 (known as "Sonic SatAM" to the fans) comes to DVD. Many of those who managed to catch the show on TV 7-8 years ago fell in love with it then, and have been fans ever since. It had just the right blend of comedy, drama, and action, with no one of those standing out too much above the others. This is a much anticipated release in the Sonic fan community, and this DVD contains the following episodes: Sonic Racer, Sonic Boom, Super Sonic and Sonic & Sally. This cartoon was made back before the SegaSonic storyline really got developed, and you won't be seeing familiar faces like Knuckles, Amy Rose, or the more recent characters from Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow and Rouge, simply because, well, none of them existed back then (Sonic 3, which was Knuckles' first game, didn't even come out until the year after it started airing). But that doesn't detract from the show at all as there are plenty of well developed characters added here that weren't from the games. This cartoon set-up the first real storyline behind the whole Sonic universe (in the U.S. anyway), and in my opinion, was one of the best American made cartoons ever. The Archie series of Sonic the Hedgehog comics is now loosely based on this cartoon, but really fails to capture the quality of writing used to produce this show. Dispite the age of this show, if you're a Sonic fan, you definately shouldn't pass this one up. Definately the best Sonic cartoon ever produced, in my opinion. I'd give it more than 5 stars, but well.. that's the most you can give here on Amazon.com :)

SatAM Sonic Returns!, December 21, 2001
A Kid's Review
This is unquestionably the best of the Sonic series. For those of you who saw this cartoon in 1993, and have seen the other two series (the one on Toon Disney (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) and the one that used to be on Sci-Fi (Sonic Underground)), then you may agree with me or not. I have been waiting for this cartoon to be aired back on TV uncut, but something I never expected and even better came out. This DVD features 4 episodes that were aired from the first season. If sales go well, then more will be released on DVD. This is a MUST GET for any Sonic fan out there. The comic was based on this...or maybe it was the other way around? Anyway, I give this DVD the highest ranking possible on Amazon...too bad it's only 5 stars, I could've rated it 50 or 100.

Long overdue, but worth the wait!!, April 4, 2002
"The Fastest Thing Alive", oh that themesong brings back memories of Saturday Mornings. I used to wake up before 8am every Saturday just to watch this incredible show. For fans of the ARCHIE Comic Book Series of the same name, they can finally see where their inspiration came from. Clever and original characters, great storyline, great music, and great humor all put together make this the most popular of the three American Sonic The Hedgehog animated series (others being Adventures Of SONIC The Hedgehog and SONIC Underground). You get four of the early episodes AND as a special bonus you get an extra episode when you answer all the questions correctly on the quiz that's featured on the DVD. Hopefully sales for this will be very positive and convince DiC to release the entire series, and (big prayers for) make new episodes! ;) Whether you are a fan of SONIC and/or just a fan of great animated series, pick this up.
