Approval of God: Naoto Ohshima, the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, has said in Twitter posts that he enjoys Sonic SatAM. The DiC staff gave him a poster of the show's characters, which he keeps framed in glass:
"Sonic was born in the image of the United States. I love American Sonic. Thank you." - Naoto Ohshima

I have a strong attatchment to a lot of these characters through growing up on the comics and it makes me a little sad that neither the show or the comics got their proper conclusions so there was never a proper send off for iconic characters like Sally and Bunnie

17:05  Not only did the comic run for 25 years, that series holds 3 different records for the longest licensed comic series, longest comic seriesbased on a video game, and the longest science fiction comic series.  Comic book series rarely last that long, especially for one based on licensed characters like Sonic and Sally.

Im glad the comics made antoine go through an arc. He started out with his satam personality but eventually grew into the great warrior he always said he was. Plus his relationship with bunnie is great.

"But season two is when the show reached for the stars"

I see what you did here

I think Bunnie is the best chararcter in the series, i like her southern accent

6:16 apparently the cancelled season 3 was going to have it revealed that Uncle Chuck actually is Sonic's only relative he had as it would have been revealed that Sonic's parents died sometime after he was born and so Uncle Chuck decides to become his nephew's Guardian

The worst thing against Antoine is that he is progressively getting worse! He was fine in the first season and actually got out a few chuckles out of me. He had some level of competence and his rivalry with Sonic was actually set on somewhat equal footing (like in the episode set in underground city)

And then in season two he literally trips over his own legs like 5 different times, is scared of his own shadow and his bumbling incompetence is barely even noticed by his companions. Also he is forced into like every episode or even gets two episodes (with 2 stories each) that focus solely on showing how much of an idiot he is (even in episodes where it's not really his fault like the one you mentioned. It would be nice if Sonic would be the one in the wrong for once and would had to apologize to Antoine)

I just don't get how a character can get flanderized as much in the span of only 26 episodes XD Antoine from SatAM is one of a few Sonic characters that I really hate but luckily he is LOT better in the Archie Comics :)

My favorite episode is when Eggman makes a robot copy of Sally to trick Sonic while the real Sally is trapped. Only Tails knows the truth and tries to warn Sonic but he doesn’t believe him. Sonic figures out the truth and he saves the real Sally. I like this episode because it shows that Tails knows Sally by heart and Bunnie has her moment to shine in this episode. My favorite quote she says is “Sometimes a metal body comes in handy, but I still have something a robot will never have, a mind and a heart of my own.” Also, I thought the ending with Sally and Tails was heartwarming.

What Could Have Been:
The show's third season was completely laid out and prepared, and then ABC cancelled it:
-The Freedom Fighters (now called "Freedom Builders") would have begun the process of rebuilding Mobotropolis, Rotor spearheading the transformation, and Sonic finding that Victory Is Boring. Unbeknown to them, Snively would be sneaking about Robotropolis, gathering intel on the Freedom Fighters and plotting to attack them outright. For a time, Snively is able to place himself in a position of power, proving himself as formidable a foe as Robotnik, if not more so. However, his time as head villain would prove short lived thanks to the efforts of the Freedom Fighters, and in a moment of desperation would free Naugus, Robotnik, and King Acorn from the void. Naugus immediately takes on the title of main villain, using the King as bait to lure Sally in, and making Snively nothing. Robotnik's nephew was slated to defect to the Freedom Fighters in retaliation, although he would secretly plan to betray them at some point, Antoine being the only one to notice - and ultimately stop - Snively's plans.
-The show apparently would have eventually confirmed, as some fans had already speculated, that Mobius was Earth All Along, with the story set millennia after a world-purging nuclear war that wiped out humans and caused animals to become sapient. Robotnik and Snively were to be the last humans alive and had been off-planet on a space colonization mission when the war struck. After betraying and killing the rest of their crew, they returned to Earth and, due to relativity, landed after the animals had already assumed control of the planet.
-Tails would have matured and played a much larger role as an official member of the Freedom Fighters, even showing a bit of a rebellious side and would save Knothole Village from a major disaster. Furthermore, his relationship with Sonic would have been closer to the games.
Dulcy would have come into her full powers. All Ben Hurst said about that was, “You don’t want to see a dragon when she gets mad.”
-Sally would be romanced by someone other than Sonic, though in the end Sonic would eventually come out on top. Sonic would also undergo a major personality change.
-Nicole's backstory would be told, revealing that she was once a Mobian child that was brainwashed into a computer program by Robotnik. At some point NICOLE would be restored to her former self, becoming a part of the Freedom Fighters.
-At some point, Knothole would "get crunched".
-Knuckles was supposed to appear at the end of the season and was going to be more of a main character for an also never made fourth season.

Favourite part/episode

Robotnik: "Snively, what colour is my heart?" *Puts Snivelys head down his throat*
Snively: "I don't see a heart sir..."
Robotnik: "Exactly."

Robotnik is pure evil in SatAM, not a bumbling bafoon.

Voices in One Room: A variation was used: Most of the cast, who were largely composed of veteran voice actors, performed in the same room, with the sole exception of Jaleel White (Due to high school and Family Matters). While this made it hard to play off of the rest of the cast, he also had more takes to work with. This was especially true for Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground, because those two shows did their recording in Canada 🇨🇦 while White was in Los Angeles.

Sonic SATAM in general, was my favorite show to watch as a kid, and while I did catch the slap stick sonic show before school as well, i was always more hungry for the SATAM series even as a kid. It felt more intense and engaging to watch. I felt more victorious at the end, and then there was the theme song.

SOME SPOILERS BELOW FOR ARCHIE COMIC SONIC SERIES

That, and the Dr Robotnik, hands down, is the BEST version of Robotnik ever made, assuming you dont count the Archie comics transition of the SATAM series. Where they basically go at some point a long while in "Robotnik has known about Knotholes location, and capabilities for quite some time, and has allowed them to keep gaining ground, as a good sport, to which he has grown bored and then proceeds to just lay waste to EVERYTHING." Took me by suprise and i loved the twist, took sonic a bit to come back and fix things, but yea. Was a great arc.

I never saw SatAM as a kid, but I watched the entire series about a year and a half ago for one week and then I started having weird dreams about Kath Soucie. Sad, but true story.

Executive Meddling:
-Sega Enterprises was known to make frustrating and seemingly-arbitrary demands. For example, like many American cartoons, the characters were all originally designed with four fingers instead of five. The designs were approved by Sega of America, but were rejected by Sega Enterprises, who were reportedly afraid that it would be associated with the Yakuza's tendency to chop off victims' fingers. This resulted in DiC having to reanimate a number of already-completed scenes to include additional fingers.
-Almost all of the writing staff who worked on Season 1 were removed sometime before development of Season 2 began, leaving Ben Hurst as essentially the sole writer for the series going forward.
-The remaining staff were pushed to create Dulcy to balance out the gender ratio of the Freedom Fighters.
-The four Antoine shorts were also a request of executives (ABC), as a part of their demand to lighten up the series by adding more comedy.

11:19 Antoine, even being useless most of the time, he managed to make Bunnie start to like him, what a lucky guy!

My favorite episode? Sonic Boom and Sonic Racer, for nostalgia: those were the only episodes I remembered from my youth, and memories of them led me to rediscover the series in adulthood.

The irony.

Pontaff made Sonic looks like a SatAM cartoon, while the ACTUAL SatAM is on par with Adventure series in story telling.

It's funny how he skipped Antoine😂

Sonic SatAM will always be my favorite version of the Sonic lore.
