Well, I have been outdone. My initial shock at the idea that the beloved Randall and Dante were coming to my home once a week in cartoon form via ABC, has been surpassed by the shock that now ABC, a.k.a. Disney, is now seemingly skull-fucking the show until it cries uncle. And, as depressing as Mr. Smith puts it, in the sense that it won't last, he is probably right. Unless the show is spread more and EVERY mother-fuckin' Smith fan watches it, it's going to fall farther than ALice through that long fuckin' tunnel. Pardon my language but when it comes to Clerks-bashing I get emotional. Well. Anyways...I am still excited about the premiere, even if the show does end up about as successful as "The Far Side Cartoon."
And Mr. Smith makes a very good point about the usefulness of TV. It's only good for The Simpsons, Law & Order, and watching a great fucking video like 2001: A Space Odyssey, One of his movies, Reservoir Dogs, or great porn. Well, to the cartoon likenesses of the ever non-anemic Clerks I say Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of B-television.
The "B" stands for the ambiguous words, Broadcast and Be-my Bitch.
