A reference to the early Saturday morning TV show that aired between 1993 and 1995 starring a team of Freedom Fighters attempting to liberate their war torn planet from the clutches of the dicator, Warlord Ivo Robotnik and his angsty nephew, Snively.

This show is considered to top all subsequent Sonic the Hedgehog TV shows due to its excellent plot line and extremely credited voice cast. Many Wapanese followers of the Sonic fandom reject it due to its non-Japanese origin and serious storyline, not to mention the orignality prevalent in the animation style, a detail absent in most contemporary cartoons. Sadly, the show was canceled due to a change in leadership at ABC and being stacked up against the lackluster Power Rangers in the same time block.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed

The only good version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

the old Sonic the Hedgehog show. Used to be shown on Saturday morinings, hence SatAM. Hard to find off the net.

he best of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon series, which featured good actors and a great plot. Was killed off by the Power Rangers show in 1995, and ruined by the furry community which polluted the Internet with cliched homosexual fanfics filled with spelling/grammar errors, and poorly-drawn MS-Paint/crayon porn pics showing the SatAm characters engaging in gay anal sex orgies.

May the furries and the Power Rangers fans burn in Hell.

Now the Sonic cartoon series is being continued with a Wapanese otaku masturbation-fest called Sonic X.
And it sucks royal ass.

Overrated Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon.
It was a good series, with an interesting plotline and some well thought out characters, but it was hardly anything that could be considered 'Sonic', as the only relevence the show had to the popular Sega character was Sonic himself. Nothing else related to original games or characters at all, and the fact that Tails was basically a defenceless kid who barely made any appearences was painful.
