Talk:The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] !!! ?
Why is this page named "Sam & Max: Freelance Police!!!"? I refer specifically to the !!! at the end, which I've never seen at the front outside of Wikipedia. Propose move to "Sam & Max: Freelance Police (animated series)" (to avoid confusion with the canceled LucasArts game - which itself should probably be renamed to have a : in it...). --SevereTireDamage 02:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- The title is taken from the title-screen of the show itself, and also helps to differentiate between this and the cancelled game. The cancelled game is named without subtitle to be consistant with Sam & Max Hit the Road — a game I've never seen appear with "Hit the Road" as its subtitle. – Quoth 00:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

- My mistake - I hadn't seen the intro in a very long time, after I hunted it down I noticed there is !!! on the title card that shows up for about a second, I just never saw it before. I'd still argue it was just a visual gag and not the actual title. Three sites[1] [2] [3] reference the Fox Kids/Nelvana press kit which actually call the show "The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police." Perhaps that would be more appropriate. (Given, samnmax.net does internally refer to the show with the !!! at the end, so other people did notice it.)

- As for the Sam and Max Hit the Road, it's a full sentence, so of course "Hit the Road" wouldn't be considered a subtitle. "Sam and Max: Freelance Police" has always been referred to that way whenever I've seen it. --SevereTireDamage 05:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I feel either version works well, as neither is incorrect. I'll leave it to your discretion as to whether it needs to be changed or not. Thanks for collaborating :) – Quoth 01:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
