7 Sonic Easter Eggs In The Knuckles Show
29.4.2024
The Knuckles Paramount+ show is real bad at giving Sonic the Hedgehog characters the spotlight. Despite having his name at the top, Knuckles is only in the show for half its runtime and barely speaks when he’s there. But despite the lack of anthropomorphic characters throughout, the show does have...
The Knuckles TV Show Has A Wild Reference To Sonic ‘06
26.4.2024
I didn’t love the Knuckles show, but as a long-time Sonic fan, one of its six episodes stuck out to me for a few reasons.

Knuckles Is Barely In His Paramount+ Show
22.4.2024
I had a lot of expectations for the Knuckles live-action mini-series that, it turns out, might have been a bit too lofty. But I don’t think the expectation that the titular echidna voiced by Idris Elbawould be in a show with his name at the top was that outrageous. I’m sad to report that Knuckles...
