TV Report: Clerks the animated series (2000)

A very funny show that was never given a chance by ABC, Clerks had a brief appearance on TV in 2000, and then was resigned to DVD forever.

Continuing the adventures of Jay, Silent Bob, Randall and Dante in a colorful, TV-friendly way (which means they don't say "fuck") this is an off-the-wall, wacky mix of Star Wars references, TV homages, wacky adventures and a bevy of celebrity voices. Seriously, the people they got to do some voice work -- Alec Baldwin, Charles Barkley, Judge Reinhold, James Woods -- is fabulous.

I so wish someone would have given this show a real shot -- ABC messed up the order of the episodes and really dumped it even before it aired -- because it's so freakin' funny. If you are a Clerks fan, you must see the animated series. Or if you understand why this clip is hilarious, you must see this series.



100 percent film-nerd goodness.
