Sonic the Hedgehog
Which version? The syndicated Adventures of version with a Warner-esque twist or the ABC-approved Saturday Morning (AM) version with a far more realistically gritty feel?

I watched both, but out of the two, the SatAM version appealed to me more, for I'd must rather see Sonic as a wise-cracking, "way past cool" hero than a cross-dressing and morality-imposing (via "Sonic Sez") jokester.

But, as much as I did love the more true-to-life--and thus, admittedly darker--feel of the SatAM version (because it had well-developed character relations [whether it be the brotherly bond between Sonic the Hedgehog & Miles Prower [aka Tails], the family bonds between Sonic & his Uncle Chuck or Princess Sally Alicia Acorn & her father--King Maximillian Acorn--the sisterly bond between most of the female Freedom Fighters, and of course, the loving yet carefully-regulated bond between Sonic & Sally], well conceived storylines [such as the Freedom Fighters trying to free Uncle Chuck from Dr. Robotnik's evil clutches only to stumble every so often], a true villain worth loathing instead of a typecast egg-shaped fool [Jim Cummings made Dr. Robotnik worth fearing], etc.), I did like the fact that the corny AoStH did include standards gaming universe Badniks like Coconuts, Scratch, & Grounder.

I'm sure there are more I liked, but I can't think of anymore right now.

not much of a fan of it? I could see why. I kinda liked it, until it went adult too. but thats another story.
It was adult to begin with. That and creative differences is why JK was kicked off from his own product and R&S was soon canned afterwards.
