- First of all, we’re sorry for everyone who DID scoop this and didn’t get credit. We hedged on posting this item because we were unsure about the date it gives for the DVD’s release…And we STILL are, but we continue to get so much mail on this small item that Wizard ran on the Clerks cartoon series DVD planned for this winter, so we figured we’d best run it:
All six episodes, just in time for Christmas
There’s a little naga-nootch under the tree this year. A little swearing, too.
The full run of Kevin Smith’s “Clerks†cartoon will finally be available for public consumption. Buena Vista Home Video has slated a “Clerks†VHS and DVD collection for December.
The ill-fated “Clerks†was scheduled to run as a mid-season replacement show on ABC in early 2000. When the show was pushed back to a May release, a much-publicized feud over scheduling broke out between Smith and the network. Only two “Clerks†episodes aired before the show was canceled.
The VHS and DVD collections will feature all six episodes that were made, along with Smith and Jason Mewes in all-new intros, playing “Clerks†characters Jay and Silent Bob. Smith and “Clerks†stars Brian O’Halloran (Dante) and Jeff Anderson (Randal) are also doing commentary tracks for DVD. Behind-the-scenes stuff, including developmental artwork and aborted scenes, will also be shown.
“This is why I got into TV in the first place-so I could get another DVD into the marketplace,†Smith said, a little on the sarcastic side. “Like all the other View Askew DVD efforts, we’re going to pack this one as well, so there’ll be some bang for the buck. And since it’s not airing on TV, Jay and I will curse like longshoremen in our intros. That’s gotta be worth another five bucks, at least.†-Jim McLauchlin
