   The eccentric detective duo Sam & Max will return to duty in a few weeks, in the second episode from the new Adventure series launched this Autumn by the former LucasArts bunch, reunited under the Telltale Games studio. They let us know that the new episode will be called "Situation: Comedy", and it will continue the adventures of Sam and Max from the first episode, "Culture Shock". This time around, the two will investigate a local TV station, where a talk-show taping has spiraled into a hostage situation.
"Talk show host Myra Stump has gone berzerk! Sam & Max head down to the WARP TV studio to find out why she's holding her audience hostage. But getting onto Myra's stage isn't going to be easy. First the Freelance Police will have to prove they're worthy of fifteen minutes of fame."

"Along with a few familiar faces and tons of Sam & Max's trademark humor, the episode features fresh locations and characters, a new musical score, and plenty of bizarre scenarios for players to puzzle through."    Situation: Comedy will premiere on the GameTap network, on December 21, and those who aren't subscribed to this digital distribution service will be able to buy the second episode from the Telltale website, starting with January 5, 2007, for $8.95. The first screenshots have just been added in our local Sam & Max: Season 1 gallery, and the first trailer can be watched on the official website.

   At the same time, GameTap announced that today marks the debut of the Sam & Max "machinima" (shorts created with the game's engine), which will continue each Thursday with a new movie. Also, GameTap subscribers will have access to the complete 1997 animated Sam & Max television series and a documentary that takes gamers behind the scenes of "The Making of Sam & Max".

   All in all, the Sam & Max: Season 1 game will comprise six episodes, with the other five set to be released only one month apart from each other. So in April 2007 it should be all done.
