Clerks (2000) is an animated series by Kevin Smith based off his award winning low-budget comedy from 1992 of the same name. While initial buzz was positive and ABC supported it enough to secure two commercials during the Super Bowl for its premiere, the series lost its appeal at the network after several delays. The first six episodes were barely finished because the studio refused to give them any more money for production and it was eventually aired against the first episode of Survivor. The first and second episodes aired to critical acclaim from internet and underground critics but was almost universally panned by the mainstream critics. The series was cancelled after two episodes.
A DVD containing all six episodes was completed and released the following year, which was eventually picked up by Comedy Central, who aired all six episodes during its late night block. There are plans to make an animated feature film (tentatively titled Clerks: Sell Out), but little has been heard on that front since flash tests were made. Most recently, however, the animated versions of Dante and Randal appeared on the "Clerks X" DVD in a previously lost scene in which the two actually go into the funeral house and it is shown what exactly they did to get chased out.
