00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.770 Sadly, however, the ABC network had a change in staff and canceled the show, 00:11:38.770 --> 00:11:41.160 to make way for 5 teenage martial artists 00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:43.420 in brightly colored motorcycle helmets 00:11:43.420 --> 00:11:45.420 driving giant plastic toys. 00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:48.450 Oh come now, that's how I see it! 00:11:48.450 --> 00:11:53.290 I find it so ridiculous the way they flail their arms whenever they need to speak. 00:11:53.290 --> 00:11:58.910 Anyways, funny how the less serious series managed to last 3 years and end nicely... 00:11:59.300 --> 00:12:01.170 Every story must end. 00:12:01.170 --> 00:12:02.330 Even this one! 00:12:02.330 --> 00:12:04.200 But it's no fairy tale to say, 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.720 see you soon for more adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog! 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:13.180 While the more serious series only got 2 years and was canceled. 00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:15.890 Personally I'd like to see more of Tails' growing up. 00:12:15.890 --> 00:12:18.340 We only got to see some of his talents. 00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:20.990 Fine, I admit, I'm a Tails fan. 00:12:22.710 --> 00:12:24.710 He's just so cute! 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.480 Um.. well... 00:12:30.930 --> 00:12:32.740 Ferocious little guy... 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:36.230 Anyways, if you want some kind of continuation to this saga, 00:12:36.230 --> 00:12:39.260 you will have to look towards the Archie Comics. 00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:43.200 It actually starts before the series so best catch it from the beginning, 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.010 containing elements from SatAM like the Knothole freedom fighters, 00:12:47.010 --> 00:12:49.200 but also the comedy from Adventures. 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.140 It then runs parallel with the series, becoming more serious, 00:12:53.140 --> 00:12:56.500 then takes its own road with tie-ins from the other games, 00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:59.270 adding all kinds of explanations to things, 00:12:59.270 --> 00:13:02.110 as well as a deep and complex history. 00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:04.500 Remember how I said Adventures had it all? 00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:06.500 Well, this comic has everything! 00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:09.800 Well, maybe not everything, but close enough. 00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:17.990 Now I'm not going to make a review on the comics because it is an ongoing comic and our main focus are the animated cartoons. 00:13:17.990 --> 00:13:21.930 Just wanted to quickly show where to go if you ever needed your SatAM fix. 00:13:21.930 --> 00:13:24.190 So lets continue with the next cartoon. 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.840 In the next part.
