People like that shit...Survivor...mindless fucking entertainment....watching other people suffer it is human nature to take pleasure in someone else's demise...Millionare is alright..I've watched it...I have never seen Survivor and probably wont...You have to realize that most people have no fucking clue who KS or Clerks is...Not even an inkling...They probably watched the show with all it's references and in jokes and thought..."What in the hell is this," and turned the station to Survivor...which takes no back story to watch and apparently little or no IQ. Dont get me wrong I have enjoyed all of KS's works...But we here on this board are in a small minority...Most of the movie/television watching public could give two-flicks of a dogs pecker about Kevin Smith, Clerks and the rest of his movies..that is if they have even heard of them...You people act like Regis himself....cancelled Clerks...not true...
ABC cancelled it because the ratings sucked...Now in its'(Clerks TCS) defense it did get the shaft on when it aired and the timeslot sucked....but still no one watched it...As Kevin as stated before it was doomed before it started..end of fucking story...No more posts about how ABC fucked us; move said series to HBO or Comedy Central...It is fucking over..period..The best you can hope for is a Clerks TCS movie and/or the DVD of all the episodes.
I mean some of you people act like you had big money bet on how many of the episodes would run...Kevin got payed for six episodes..so from a monetary standpoint I am sure he is pleased....pissed about only airing two episodes sure...but in the realm of things...He got over it, as should we....
You should be so lucky that the series even made it to TV...I know I am...
Anyway, dont sweat the little things...calmly wait for the Dogma SE dvd; Vulgarthon 2000; Clerks TCS DVD and maybe next year a new movie, and please just stop pissing and moaning about ABC..the sun will still come up in the morning.
