 Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was originally going to air on ABC  Saturday Mornings but then ABC reject Adventures of Sonic the  Hedgehog because ABC thought it had horrible animation, lame plots  and catch phrases. So ABC told DiC Entertainment to come up with a  new cartoon or Sonic would not air on ABC. So Adventures of Sonic  the Hedgehog was transfered to syndication on weekdays while Sonic  the Hedgehog (SatAM) was on ABC Saturday Mornings.
