: How the hell did you guys get the legal clearance to do that, especially since that's not a View Askew-related property?
: Or is this a "bootleg" kinda deal?
: Or am I being naive?
My thinking is that the name "Clerks" and the characters from the movie do belong to ViewAskew, and that when the pilot was shot it had some limited-time offer deal with a network which has since expired. Thus, the pilot falls back under the heading of that name and those characters and thus reverts to VA ownership.
Either that, or y'all better pull that janx off E-Jay QUICK. I can just see some frickin' pimply network executive with a chip on his shoulder itching to throw a lawsuit this way.
