Clerks.

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.

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.

I'm not quite sure how this would even work, but this sitcom pilot was made without prior knowledge (let alone consent) of Kevin Smith. He did write and direct the movie this is supposedly based on, but informing him about this spin-off seemed a bridge too far. In all fairness though: this barely has anything to do with the movie, which begs a lot of questions. "Clerks" was an underground hit, but is it really so famous that merely using its name gets you great ratings? And wouldn't actual fans of the movie turn this of after five minutes, noticing that the only thing it has in common is a store setting and characters named Dante and Randall (they don't even have Jay and Silent Bob)? There are really only two quite fascinating things about this pilot. The constant waves of canned laughter after lines you didn't even identify as jokes, and the fact that SNL alumnus Jim Breuer is in this playing Randall. Apart from that, this might just be the longest half hour of your life.

I saw the 'Clerks' sitcom. It was horrible. It takes place in a shopping mall food court and has absolutely nothing to do with the original 'Clerks' movie. Jay and Silent Bob are not in the show. The set and costumes looked like they were straight from 'Saved by the Bell' with their nasty bright colors. The plot was pretty much like any American sit-com. Dante was a whiny loser and Randal was the comic relief. There is no references to alcohol, cigarettes, sex, dead people or accidental sex with dead people. I really wish I taped it because it aired only once and I doubt that the entire show even exists in one piece anymore. I would like to have a copy to show kids some of the things we had to live through in the '90s.

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.
