Happy 10th Anniversary, Sonic SatAM!

Today is the 10th Anniversary of animated series 'Sonic the Hedgehog' (also affectionately known as 'SatAM' for its air time on Saturday mornings). Some fans recognise it as the best of the Sonic cartoons to be made, and it is still celebrated to this day despite the show being cancelled many years ago.

To commemorate this occasion, I received an email from 'Ronic Warihog' from the SatAM sub-community, with the message below.

Hello. My name is Ronic Warihog, and I have some news for you on a special day for the Sonic Community.

As some of you may know, today is the 10th Anniversary of the debut of ABC's 'Sonic the Hedgehog' SatAM animated series. It is the show that forever changed the perception of the Sonic world, and while the games were primarily for SEGA fans, the SatAM helped to bring Sonic into mainstream society. It also changed the path of the comics to one of respectability, and became one of the most powerful animated series of all time.

I would like to extend my personal thanks to all 182 individuals who worked on the SatAM, and all of those who have supported the show, past and present. Without the support, the SatAM would probably have been forgotten long ago.

Many thanks for your message, Ronic. And happy anniversary to the great (but short-lived) Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)!
