Sam and Max. I've heard the name mentioned a few times. For some reason I remember some old cartoon show about a rabbit and a dog playing detective... I'm probably thinking about something else here... Anyway, what's this game series about?

It's one of the best 2D adventure games ever, and yes there was a Saturday morning cartoon.

Also a one season saturday morning cartoon. Funny in a demented sort of way. Max is a borderline psycotic (and naked)rabbit. Sam is a talking bipedal dog dressed like a 40's detective.

It's debatably Lucasarts' best adventure game... my favorite is Grim Fandango, but with Lucasarts adventure games, they're all so good that very good cases can be made for almost any of them from Maniac Mansion to Grim Fandango (to intentionally exclude Monkey Island 4... :D)... but Sam & Max is definitely a popular favorite.

Neat.
I sure hope they toss in the original. Wait, do they still sell the original for the standard price of 10 buckazoids?
I think I may just check it out. And yes, we get that you didn't like MI4 as much as the rest. It's still pretty good though.
And, last I checked rabbits wear fur coats. From that picture, I would venture to guess either that the rabbit is a shaved albino, or it is doing the same.

Oh, MI4 is a perfectly decent adventure game. I enjoyed it, mostly.
It's just not as good as Monkey Island 1, Monkey Island 2, Monkey Island 3, Maniac Mansion, Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle, Loom, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, The Dig, or Grim Fandango.
Lucasarts also made Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but I haven't played those two (I also haven't played Monkey Island 2, but know more than enough about it to know that it's great.)
Even if they wanted to they probably couldn't, because Lucasarts owns the original game and has nothing to do with this new title. Lucasarts, remember, decided in 2000 or so that adventure games weren't really worth making anymore... they did start on an inhouse Sam & Max 2, but they canned it because they didn't think that an adventure game would sell. Then, as the site says, the people who had been making that game (Sam & Max 2) quit Lucasarts, set up an independant studio, and began trying to get the Sam & Max liscence. In September this year they finally managed it and announced this news.
Lucasarts did until a year or two ago, but when they redid their store they dropped all the old titles. Now the only LA adventure games you can get from Lucasarts are Monkey Island 3, Monkey Island 4, and Grim Fandango.
To get something from the developer of this game, Telltale Studios, however, here's the demo version of their recent game, Bone: Out of Boneville.
