Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was an animated tv series created by DIC Entertainment and ran from September to December 1993. The show was to be aired on ABC, but due to poor animation they decided not to air it and forced them to make another Sonic  cartoon simply entitled Sonic the Hedgehog.

The series takes place in planet Mobius, where the Mobians live. The series is well known for it's Sonic Sez segments, in which Sonic, Tails, or any of the characters from the episode tell the viewer about important everyday things such as running away from home, pet care, and even avoiding strangers. The most famous thing about the show is the episode known as "Lovesick Sonic", which contains some of Dr. Robotnik's most famous lines, and the infamous sexual harassment Sonic Sez segment. Most episodes are about Dr. Robotnik creating a fiendish plot to take over Mobius, with Sonic and Tails always foiling his plans. Dr. Robotnik's two henchmen Grounder and Scratch always try to capture Sonic, but they fail to do so with every attempt.

Grounder is based on the Grounder robots in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Scratch is based on the Clucker robots from Sonic 2 as well.
