** Combine this with the fact that when they were pitching the show to ''another'' network (often thought to be Creator/{{UPN}}) wanted to basically let them do what they wanted and make them their flagship show (similar to Creator/{{Fox}} and ''Franchise/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 (''and'' was owned by [[Creator/{{Disney}} the company]] which owned Creator/{{Miramax|Films}} at the time alongside [[Creator/TouchstonePictures Touchstone Television]]) they signed with them. Smith and Mosier admit in the commentary that this wasn't their finest hour.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Was it ever! Only episodes two and four, in that order, made it to air before it was pulled off by ABC as they felt it didn't gel with their programming. One has to wonder why they even bothered to greenlight the show at all.

From the DVD commentary of episode two.
Added DiffLines:
** Of the opening disclaimers at the start of each episode, one was going to state that the celebrity voices in the show are impersonated, before urging America to rise up and kill famous people. The network had the crew change it out of fear that if anyone were to get killed, someone would sue the ''Clerks'' show.

** 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 Weinsteins leaving the studio and Disney selling Miramax, but not this show) haven't helped move it forward.

The plot of Dante and Randal filming a movie based on the events of the first movie would eventually get reworked into ''Film/ClerksIII.''

Added DiffLines:
* SameContentDifferentRating: The show was rated TV-14, but the DVD/VHS release carries an MPAA R rating despite it being a show, and not a movie. The rating seems to solely apply to the live-action in-between segments with Jay and Silent Bob.
