There's only one classic Sam & Max game, and neither of those two are it.

The only Sam and Max game I want remastered/remade is Hit The Road. The 2nd Sam and Max game I want is the cancelled sequel to that.

The best Telltale series. (according to my nostalgic ass)

yes
But there's no benefit to remastering Hit The Road. The pixel art and animation is superb, it would only be ruined by remaking. (Well, I'm sure they could give it the Day of the Tentacle style of makeover with original graphics included as an option, but I'd just play it in retro mode the whole time).

I wouldn't call them censored exactly. They recast Bosco with a black actor (presumably out of concern that the white actor playing him before was racially insensitive) and in so doing made some minor changes to his lines in the first season. I don't think Season 2 had any changes to the dialog but it was likewise re-recorded with the new actor.
The couple of jokes that they changed really aren't a big deal, but I do have to say I don't like Bosco's new voice nearly as much. With that said they put a ton of work into these remasters and they are the best way to play these games overall despite that.

Bosco was a great character in the original, a fan favorite. It's such a trendy and idiotic thing to think that a voice actor can't portray a different race... that reaction is what ruined Apu on the The Simpsons, who was actually a wonderfully humanized character with plenty of depth, but everyone loses their mind when a minority has mildly stereotypical voice even though everyone in that show is a comedic caricature (the preacher, the policemen, etc etc).
I can't support any devs who think in this way.

Correct. Worked great for Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, DOTT, Full Throttle, Grim Frandango. I need Hit the Road to get the same treatment.

The TellTale Sam & Max games are fantastic, especially Beyond Time & Space and The Devil's Playhouse. There's a Bosco restoration mod for Save The World on PC, so you can patch the old voice and lines back into the game. Unfortunately I don't think there's such a mod for Season 2 yet.
Of course I get not wanting to support the remasters for recasting Bosco at all, it was a trash decision.

I played a bit of the one that released on PS3 but just wasn't feeling it.
As others have mentioned, 'Hit the Road' is the ultimate Sam & Max game. So damn good.

Doesn't need remastering either, it's perfect the way it is. Man, I love this game so much.. Easily one of my favourite games ever.
