What happens

The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police is an animated television series, based on the Sam & Max comic series by Steve Purcell. The series follows vigilante private investigators Sam, an anthropomorphic dog, and Max, a lagomorph or "hyperkinetic rabbity-thing", as they investigate strange and bizarre cases and confront the criminals responsible. The series, produced by Nelvana, was first aired in October 1997 on the Fox Kids block in the U.S. and YTV in Canada, producing 13 episodes (with 24 segments) and winning the 1998 Gemini Award for "Best Animated Series". Despite being well-received and performing well, the series was cancelled in April 1998 after just one season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
