The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police is an animated television series, based on the Sam & Max comic series by Steve Purcell. The series follows vigilante private investigators Sam, an anthropomorphic dog, and Max, a lagomorph or "hyperkinetic rabbity-thing," as they investigate strange and bizarre cases and confront the criminals responsible.

The series first aired in October 1997 on Fox Kids in the United States and YTV in Canada, producing 13 episodes (24 segments) and winning the 1998 Gemini Award for "Best Animated Series" before it was cancelled in April 1998.

The series revolves around Sam & Max, the freelance police accepting missions from the mysterious Commissioner, whom they have never seen. The assignments usually lead them into far-off and exotic locales such as the Moon, Mount Olympus, the center of the Earth or the mutant inhabited waters of Bohunk Lagoon. In between these assignments, the pair also manage to squeeze in fridge-spelunking, time traveling, Bigfoot-hunting and numerous other escapades. There were also holiday-themed episodes, such as visiting a prison on Christmas and delivering an artificial heart on Valentine's Day.
