I loved the original Sam and Max (not just for nostalgia: I first played it only a couple of years ago) but Season 1 was a huge disappointment for me.

Perhaps for different reasons. All the gags felt forced - each one read slowly and deliberately as if straight from a script. None of it felt spontaneous and off the wall, as it did in the original game. The puzzles were a zzzfest but I could have lived with them if the dialogue hadn't given me a permanent cringe after half an hour.

Well, some people seemed to enjoy it. I only wish I'd gotten the same enjoyment that Hit The Road managed to deliver so elegantly.
