Teaser
The continuing adventures of Dante Hicks (voice of Brian O'Halloran)
and Randal Graves (voice of Jeff Anderson), the clerks of the local
Quick Stop and RTS Video stores, as they deal with unruly customers,
their own glorious plans, and the machinations of Leonardo Leonardo
(voice of Alec Baldwin). Featuring the heterosexual couple Jay (voice
of Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (voice of Kevin Smith), the series of
six episodes (only two of which aired on the ABC network) features a
sanitized version of the world while retaining the witty dialogue that
marks Kevin Smith's writing.

Comments
The art is good and the execution is well done. Personally, toning it
down for television didn't make it worse, though I'm also not impressed
with the Clerks movie. When you get down to it, it's fairly standard
prime time cartoon fare: a few normal and zany characters getting into
some weird and presumably funny situations and adventures.
DVD
This is a two DVD set, each with three episodes. The commentary is once
again stellar and much better than the actual shows. There are also
featurettes on "The Clerks Style" (the art) and character development.
Recommendations
For Kevin Smith afficionados this is a must have item. For the
non-fanatics, the Clerks tv show is not the same as the Clerks movie
and therefore you may not like it. People who love to listen to
commentaries will love the one included here. For the general audience,
the DVD set is probably not worth buying. |
