Let me start by saying that I've seen about ten seconds of this show, and that was enough for me.
The pilot episode never actually made it to television. Kevin Smith had nothing to do with it and didn't actually find out about it until about a year after it was made.
It's Clerks, "Saved by the Bell" style. There is a cameo from Keri Russel of "Felicity" fame and Jim Bruer plays Randal, but I'm sure they're erasing this off of their resumes.
The show takes place in a mall and is nothing at all like the movie of the same name. There is no Jay and Silent Bob (but there is a clumsy shoplifter who could arguably be the network's answer to Jay) and it is completely sanitized and cleaned up for television. The acting is crap and the jokes are terrible.
Stop complaining about not being able to see it. You are doing yourself a favor, and this is coming from a huge Clerks/Jim Bruer fan.

Well it was very cheap set, "Saved by the Bell" type sets (That was Brian O'Halloran quote) and was horrible.
They ditched Jay and Bob, added other reoccurring clerks like the ice cream man and took everything good out of clerks and added in plots that involved like people in the store talking about their lives and horrible lines like that.
It was awful and if your lucky you can find the 3 minutes of footage running around the net somewhere.
Well "lucky" isn't really the right word. But yeah, After Miramax sold the rights to WB, WB then sold them out again for a sitcom. The sitcom was made into a pilot that Brian, Jeff, and Marlin tried out for and got rejected. Horrible, Horrible stuff.

according to the View Askew message boards this show never aired, the only people who have seen this is the ABC executives, Kevin Smith, Scott Mosier, and Vincent Pirerra. it had no cursing and no jay and silent bob so they decided not to air it. whoever it was that said he bought the DVD thats a different show, thats the ANIMATED tv show
Very few people are lucky (or unlucky) to have seen this pile garbage. They took the names and that was about it.
This sitcom looks like it was whipped up in about 3 days... the production values were extremely low and the plot looked like it had been re-written from a million other sitcom plots.
Finding a copy is real hard, even on the collectors market. Primarily, because no one wants to see it. Who knows? Maybe this will become the "Star Wars Holiday Special" of the Kevin Smith films.

Not an exaggeration when I call this one of the worst things I've ever watched in my life. So far from its actual source material I have zero idea why they even call it Clerks. They have no understanding of Dante, no understanding of Randall and clearly have the writing talents of Kevin Smith, but back when he was in the 4th grade. Childish and unfunny in every way, shape and form and they don't get what makes Clerks such a lasting property...the friendship between Randall and Dante! The annoying ice cream kid was an unnecessary addition as was seeing Dante's dad (even if the dad did give me the one laugh I had watching this trash). It's floating around free online somewhere and whether you're a Clerks fan or not, you don't need to see this. Not even "so bad, it's good", this is just plain BAD.
