Back in 98 I went to the OSU seminar with Kevin Smith. One of the questions asked was "Was there ever going to be a Clerks TV series ?", Kevin replied NO.
I recently found an article from 95 or 96 where it was a 1 page INTERVIEW with kevin where he talked about the aborted Clerks TV series.Kevin said he wrote three complete episodes & outlined four more.
Upon turning these scripts into the studio/network, the execs had a cow. They said "This isn't how it's done." And they said that they needed to hire more writers and have all of them sit in a bullpen and make up the scripts from there.
Shortly thereafter, Kevin walked and the series was no more.
My question for any ASKEW people is, WHAT's THE DEAL ?
How does this relate to CLerks - animated series or CLERKS 2 ?
Come on now Kevin/Vincent ! What REALLY happened ?
