Well, another week and it’s still here! Tonight, at 9:30 PM eastern time, ABC will air their second installment of the Clerks cartoon. This episode is indeed the true Episode #2, otherwise known as the “Flashback episode”, thus it’ll confuse a lot of you since it was intended to air after the pilot, Episode #1, which won’t air for another few weeks. Confused? Alright, let us help you out a bit with a synopsis of the show (and don’t worry, we’re not going to spoil anything here): The plot of this one surrounds our heroes getting locked in Quick Stop’s freezer. In a sendoff of all the other sitcoms that have come and gone where a device like this was used to show clips from old episodes, Clerks does the same thing — Except this time, only one episode had aired. Thus, the joke. So, the references and clips you see will actually be from the show’s pilot, due to air in a few weeks, and NOT episode #4, which you saw last week. This won’t ruin the show for you, but may be a slight bit confusing from the uneducated viewer. Rest assured, it makes perfect sense when watched in sequence.
Tonight’s show features the usual array of bad jokes, one-liners, and movie references. Some you’ll love, some you’ll hate, and some you just won’t understand. But there’s something there for everyone, including another classic ending that film buffs will really dig, and the first of the Jay & Silent Bob epilogues, “Rainy Day Fun With Jay & Silent Bob”. It’s also our personal favorite of these segments. It should also be noted that tonight’s show is the only episode that had a full scene censored, that being the Flintstones List bit that you’ve probably seen online by now. You’ll know right where it would have fit when you watch the episode.
Enjoy the show, and stop back later, we’ll have a spot for you to post your comments.
