For the second day this week, Kevin participated in another live online chat last evening via the America Online service and TV Guide. The guy’s sharp wit and fun nature were in full effect last night, as this transcript certainly shows. There’s a few interesting tidbits of new information here, but again, regular News Askew readers probably won’t find too much of it shocking. Still, Kev’s responses, especially given the speed at which he had to come up with some of them, are priceless. Click HERE to read a full transcript of last night’s chat to promote the premiere of Clerks:TCS.

Clerks Ratings: Early Predictions

June 1st @ 9:21 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

We’ve got some early ratings from last night’s premiere, though they’re just for the New York area, they will hopefully be fairly representative of the rest of the country. Keep in mind that this may change when the real ratings are announced, but this is what we heard: Clerks drew a 7.5 share last night, just a slight drop off from Drew Carey‘s 10.9 lead-in. The Knicks had a 20.4 share though, but again, considering they’re a New York team, this may have taken a lot of potential Clerks viewers away. Clerks also beat the post-Survivor competition from CBS, that “Species” flick. So that’s cool. By the way, Survivor was a way cool show. Worth checking out next week for sure. It’s a bit overdramatic at times, a “Road Rules” wannabe for sure, but it’s good television.

Anyway, take this with a grain of salt due to it just being New York. Still, that’s not too bad, actually it’s quite promising.

Clerks Episode #4 (Premiere): Your Thoughts?

June 1st @ 8:42 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • There’s been so much going on in the talkbacks we thought we’d post a special story here just for you to use to chat about the show. Feel free to post what you liked, what you didn’t like, your favorite moments, and anything else that’s on your mind. We both thought that last night’s show was the best of the bunch, but if you didn’t like it, never fear, you may like one of the others more. Next week’s episode is #2, the “flashback show”, so expect a bit of confusion. It’s still got some fantastic moments, though, including another classic ending that movie buffs will get a real kick out of.

    We’ll have some preliminary ratings from last night and more soon!
