You know when I bought the DVDs I wasn't expecting to enjoy Sonic Underground, but except for the songs I found it to be a fairly amusing alternate universe tale. A lot of people think it strays too far from the games, but an important factor you have to remember is that all of the Sonic cartoons stray very far from the video games including SEGA's own Sonic X. The fact of the matter is, if you just ported the games over to the small screen there would be barely any cohesive plot, so cartoon writers have to come up with some ideas to add a sensible backstory.
Sonic Underground was still about Sonic versus Robotnik which is the heart of classic Sonic. There's a couple gimmicks added, Sonic's siblings, them being royalty, the band thing, those darn songs, but it also had many great ideas. Robotnik's oppression is more "complex" than SatAM's, he didn't merely roboticize everyone, there were plenty of normal folks out there who lived normal lives albeit in fear adding a political aspect to the series. Also who can forget that Sonic Underground saw Knuckles' animated debut. Sonic Underground could have done without the musical numbers, but SatAM could have done without Dulcy and the Antoine shorts, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog could have done without the slapstick humor, and Sonic X could have done without all of the humans. I'm not ashamed to admit I liked Sonic Underground, I didn't like the music but I thought that the show had many positive points, and it was still Sonic to me since it was essentially Sonic versus Robotnik at its core, and that is what Sonic was about before Sonic Adventure.

Now, now, hold your horses there...AoStH could do without the slapstick?
AoStH was ALL about slapstick!
Take it away, and the show loses most of what it is.
But yeah, the most annoying critique of any Sonic show I hear is "It's not enough like the games!" Look, when I was little, I certainly was confused why Sonic, Sally, and company never made their way to something like the Casino Night Zone or whatever, but, especially in this day and age, would we really WANT to base anything directly on a Sonic game? I mean, good God...

I don't know about AoStH being all about the slapstick humor, I enjoyed it for the witty dialogue. "I thought I was rid of you, you fish fondling fruitcake."
