** But, on the plus side, all six of the episodes have been released on DVD ''and'' Cartoon Network does air all six episodes on occasion. They even aired the second episode with the scene where Randall and Dante watch a ''[[SchindlersList Schindler's List]]'' parody called ''[[TheFlintstones Flintstone]]'s List''. In the ABC version, they only showed Randall and Dante watching the TV with the sounds from the movie playing. On Cartoon Network and the DVD, there's an actual clip from the movie.
** Other networks (most notably Adult Swim and Comedy Central) were interested in picking up the show for new episodes after ABC canceled it, but ABC refused to sell the rights and has simply sat on them. We're lucky we at least got reruns on those networks and a DVD.
** Combine this with the fact that when they were pitching the show ''another'' network (often thought to be {{UPN}}) wanted to basically let them do what they wanted and make them their flagship show (similar to Fox and ''TheSimpsons''). Smith compares it to someone outright asking you to be the big fish in a little pond, but since ABC was a bigger network they signed with them. Smith and Mosier admit in the commentary that this wasn't their finest hour.
** The reason ABC greenlit the show then abruptly canceled it was due to the fact that there was a rush by many networks in the late '90s/early 2000s to have adult-themed animated primetime shows following the success of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. However, between the time episodes began production and when they aired, ''WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' became a breakout hit and ABC sought to bury ''Clerks'' so it could give an extra half-hour to the game show. The moral: it doesn't matter how much time and effort you put into a TV show, networks are fickle with desires that change on a whim. Though Kevin Smith has admitted that he loved hearing Regis say, "Up next: Clerks." All of two times.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Episodes they would have made:
** Randal exploits Jay by making "snoogans" a CatchPhrase, leading to Jay becoming a recording artist.
** Randal buys [[KnightRider KITT]] at a used car lot. The car becomes jealous of Randal's relationship with Dante and attempts to kill Dante and impersonate him at the store (a reference to ''Single White Female''). He manages to trick everyone except Dante (and most likely Silent Bob) with his thin disguise.
** Jay joins a boy band. Silent Bob is sad that Jay is gone, so Randal and Dante bring Bob in to work at the Quick Stop. He turns the store around and it becomes a great success. Silent Bob is given a piece of gum and says, "Mmm, Juicy Fruit," which shocks Dante and Randal (a reference to the Chief in ''Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest'').
** Allegedly in the 7th or 8th episode, Dante and Randal would have added to their cast of friends a boy ward, named Robin, in a direct reference/parody of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s own "Boy Wonder", though like Lando, would probably not have been featured prominently. This plot element was mostly likely not intended to actually be part of the series as it was described by Kevin Smith after mentioning that Paul Dini, best known for his work on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', had also worked on the ''Clerks'' cartoon.
** The DVD commentary briefly mentioned an episode idea where Ben Affleck would play the King of Canada. The episode premise was also described as "the Aladdin parody."
** Notice how much Leonardo Leonardo looks like [[Film/DieHard Hans Gruber]]? That's because they originally wanted Creator/AlanRickman to voice him.
** The show was very nearly picked up by HBO. If it had, all swearing, sex, and drug-related references would've been allowed to air without censorship.
** Originally, the series was considered for UPN, with an initial run of thirteen episodes and the promise of heavy promotion. Production instead went with ABC (rather than being "the big fish in a little pool"), which they conceded was a mistake.
** Over the years, there has been talk of a DTV movie ''Sell Out'', which basically would've had the cartoon characters making a movie based on the actual movie. Assorted behind-the-scene developments (such as the Weinstein Brothers leaving the studio) haven't helped move it forward.

** Allegedly in the 7th or 8th episode, Dante and Randal would have added to their cast of friends a boy ward, named Robin, in a direct reference/parody of {{Batman}}'s own "Boy Wonder", though like Lando, would probably not have been featured prominently. This plot element was mostly likely not intended to actually be part of the series as it was described by Kevin Smith after mentioning that Paul Dini, best known for his work on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', had also worked on the ''Clerks'' cartoon.
