Summary: pretty funny stuff
Review: If you like Kevin Smith, you'd probably do well to watch the short lived animated version of the first film. It's kind of like Kevin just felt he could do anything that he wanted to, and several hollywood celebrities jumped at the chance to be in it. I really liked some of the stuff that he did, the trial, the Outbreak episode. I wondered why ABC bought the series, but it was pretty obvious why the stodgy old network would dump the series. I just wish that it would've been on a hipper network when it was on, so maybe would've gone on longer than 6 episodes, or the 2 episodes that aired. See how many celebrities you can guess, including Alec Baldwin, and Judge Reinhold. Can you guess which basketball celebrity makes a very minor contribution? loads of fun for the whole family, and not too dirty for the elderly.

Summary: Hit & Miss
Review: As with all View Askew material when the segment is good you're rolling on the floor laughing so hard you're begging anyone to stop laughing so you don't keel over and when its not funny its so bad you wish you had keeled over in the funny parts. This series had a lot of both. Take it for what it is. Intelligent humor mixed with Kindergarden humor. A lot of each type will have you rolling but the bad parts make you want to shut it off at times.

Review: I loved this dvd and the it is worth the money i think the animation is brilliant and the characters rock the great quotes from Jay make it that much better there is alot of humour and mad storyline's to each episode and it has a great sequence from Jay and Silent Bob before each cartoon comes on and they are classic.The special features rock aswell with the cration of how they made the characters and what earlier sketches looked like and the informative commentry by Kevin Smith himself and the rest of the Clerk's clan makes this an ultimate dvd for Kevin Smith movie fans and anyone intersted in great Animation.

Summary: So funny it hurts
Review: This 2 DVD set offers up six new Clerks story lines. All of them are wickedly funny! Only one is a little weaker than the rest, but is still worth watching again and again. Kevin Smith's humor for pop culture shines through. Once I start watching one show, I tend to watch all six, half hour episodes. Oh, and there are a bunch of good monkey jokes. CDF

Summary: Funny show, good features, bad commentary
Review: The series is funny, too bad it's only 6 episodes. There are some features like viewing storyboard sketches, commercials, the Making of... All the main characters were the same people from the movie, and there are some cool celebrities. A LOT of tasteless gay jokes, though. The commentary is just very bad. If it was better, it would get four stars. Kevin Smith and cast are all there, at least, and say some interestingly funny things, but they keep ranting on about how the show got cancelled. Did they mention it only was showed twice? Oh, and you know ABC cancelled it, right? it gets monotonous after a while. There's some behind the scenes talk, about how they had to censor things and come up with jokes, but the rest you can do without. Jay and Silent Bob introduce each new episode, and are great. You don't really need to spend extra for the DVD, the VHS may be just fine, and just as funny.

Summary: Happy Accident
Review: STORY OF A SKEPTIC: For my birthday, or perhaps Christmas or some other holiday, my best friend gave me the Clerks cartoon DVD by accident (she thought it was Clerks the MOVIE). I groaned and set it aside, since I'd seen one episode which had aired on ABC and had found it dull and inane. Some time later, I tried to sit through the first episode on my own, and failed. Clerks was shelved once again. However, by chance, I went to the Clerks-cartoon website and watched a pretty funny outtake. So I suffered through the first episode (which is simply necessary exposition), and once I was on to the second episode (a FLASHBACK EPISODE), I was rolling. By the third episode, which is golden if only for an unlikely celebrity impersonation, I was crying for joy. I brought along the DVD to the home of the gents who previously had hosted a Back to the Future Trilogy party, and we all absolutely hit the floor. What makes this cartoon work is exceptional art with stylized line weights, ordinarily-wooden actors doing brilliantly natural voiceover dialogue, excellent guest stars (Alec Baldwin, Gilbert Gottfried -ironically-, James Woods, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charles Barkley, and other all-star basketball players). Some excellent satires. Though occasionally clunky, this cartoon had the weight and potential to really become a classic.

Summary: Clerks: Big American Party!
Review: CLERKS was a wonderful film and the launching point to Kevin Smith's promising career. So, the concept for an animated feature based on the CLERK characters was pretty promising... on paper. The result is a laugh every ten minutes series with a few bright moments and a commited animation style. the storylines are very secondary to the theme behind each episode, "Drawn before a live studio audience." that kind of tongue and cheek humor will get it laughs from fans... And the lack of laughs and interest got the series quickly cancelled (After only 2 episodes). A must see for Major Kevin Smith fans (and fans of the 5 film Jersey 'Trilogy'). The disc also includes a View Askew audio commentary that is as fun as the films themselves. ... Oh, and the disc does include wjhat might be the funniest 2 minutes of animation in a long time when "The Korean Animators" replace the missing episode ending with their own "Japanimation" segment. "Omigod! Bear's Driving! How can This Be?!"

Summary: Sweet dude. No, really.
Review: Man, that ruled. What can't Kevin Smith do? I say nothing. Wait, that was a double negative. When I said that he CAN'T do NOTHING, I meant that he CAN do SOMETHING. Wait, that kinda sucks. Hmmm, maybe I should say that there's nothing that he can't do! No, no, that's no good either. In any case, it's clear that there's Nothing Kevin Smith Can't Do!

Summary: Eh
Review: I've come to the conclusion that the reason CLERKS was yanked off the air is because it wasn't really that good. Of course, it didn't help that it received zero advertising and a horrible time slot, but those factors don't change the fact that the series is just...okay. Achingly okay. Truthfully, the lack of cursing and sex-talk wasn't the problem. The show simply had brilliant moments of comedy ("Who is driving? Oh my God, bear is driving.") stuck in amongst overly long setups (the origin of Leonardo Leonardo) and stuff I've seen too often to consider funny (the "Duck Amock" parody). Still, what makes the DVD great is the commentary and behind-the-scenes stuff narrated by Kevin Smith and the gang. Quite frankly, even bleeping out the curses, it was much funnier than the actual series. I recommend buying it just to keep your Kevin Smith collection complete. But don't hesitate to buy it used if you can (I got mine from Columbia House for a buck). SEAN
