A must for any Kevin Smith fan. All 6 episodes of the short lived ABC animated show. While the show themselves offer loads of laughes (I’ve had the set for over 4 years and still love to watch them) the comentary is pure gold. Hear them View Askew crew talk about the network, casting for the show, landing Alec Baldwin to voice Leanardo Leanardo (leanardo), and how all the women look masculine. Would love to see this be brought back for a second run on TV, especially given the success of some cartoon comedies that launch at the same time as clerks (Family Guy).

Clerks – The Animated Series Uncensored Specifications

Writer-director Kevin Smith revives the characters of his indie classic film Clerks for this animated series created for network television. Though it aired for just two episodes on TV, the two-disc set has all six episodes plus a bevy of special features.

The episodes feature store clerks Dante and Randal and their ongoing adventures among the shelves of your local corner store. Never far from the epicenter of these adventures are the irreverent Jay and Silent Bob. Whether it’s getting trapped in the walk-in cooler, attending their high school reunion, or fighting rival Leonardo Leonardo (who wants to dominate the local Quick Mart market), Clerks spoofs TV and movies with mocking pop-culture jokes and cameos by a number of celebrities. Ultimately, though, Clerks: The Animated Series suffers at the hands of network censors, lacking the obnoxious punch that made Clerks the film so offbeat and amusing.

Smith doesn’t disappoint, however, with the inclusion of a number of special features on the DVD set, most notably the ever-insightful director’s commentary with guests Jason Mewes (Jay), Brian O’Halloran (Dante), and Jeff Anderson (Randal). So while the series itself may be ill-fated, featurette on the making of the animated series–including storyboards and information on character development and the comic book influence on the drawing style–make this a robust offering for Kevin Smith completists. –Adam Medros
