High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is an American and French animated series that was first broadcast in September 1993, and only for one season. It follows the escapades of the computer game character Sonic the Hedgehog, and his best friend Miles "Tails" Prower, as they attempt to stop the evil Doctor Ivo Robotnik and his array of vicious robots from taking over the planet Mobius. However, in typical Sonic style, Sonic always finds time to indulge in as many Chili Dogs he can get his hands on. This series is very much a slapstick type comedy especially with the incredibly melodramatic explosions and quirky story lines but Sonic is always portrayed as being skilled and clever, whereas Scratch and Grounder are clumsy and often serve as Robotnik's foil. The show was originally offered to be broadcast on ABC's Saturday morning line-up, but ABC reviewed the show and found lack of animation, unpopular story plots, and other things. As a result, ABC declined the deal and the show ended up only being broadcast in syndication.
