Sonic the Hedgehog is an American animated television series created by DiC also known as SatAM Sonic because it was originally aired in America on a Saturday morning slot. It is based on the video game series of the same name. The series aired from September 18, 1993 to December 3, 1994 on ABC. The series sharply contrasts with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, a syndicated series that premiered in the same month. The show ran for two seasons. A third season was in the early planning stages until ABC canceled the show because of low ratings (thought to result from competition with FOX Kids' Power Rangers). After Sonic the Hedgehog was canceled, reruns of the show appeared on USA Network's USA Action Extreme Team. The series was also telecast in Canada on the CTV Network, although it was aired between September 18, 1993, and September 2, 1995. The possible reason for CTV airing the series during the summer of 1995, which ABC never did, was to simply run the rest of the 1994-1995 broadcast year out. The show has not been aired in Canada since its cancellation. The program was partly recently broadcast on the UK television channels Pop and ITV2. It initially had a complete run on Channel 4 on Sunday mornings. Despite its cancellation and limited recent airings, the show enjoys a small but loyal Internet fanbase. The show was also the partial basis for a comic book series called Sonic the Hedgehog, which continues even a decade after the cartoon's cancellation and still features many of the cartoon's own characters. In response to popular demand, the entire series was released onto DVD by Shout! Factory on March 27, 2007.
