In Reply to: ABC - I missed the episodes!!! posted by shawnc on August 11, 2000 at 08:42:19:
: I totally suck. I missed both the episodes that were on TV.. I get to see much television, so there must not have been enough advertising.. It sucks that ABC dropped it. They have a different audience though, than you were probably looking for.
The Clerks cartoon has a different audience than what Kevin was looking for? Call me insane, but JUST MAYBE the cartoon was directed at ANYONE who's ever seen a Kevin Smith movie? Who else could it be directed at?
: Fox and MTV have had many successful cartoons, and some of them seeking that same audience as your movies. MTV has/had Beavis & Butthead & Daria.. Fox has/had Simpson, King of the Hill and another new one that I haven't caught yet.
Anything on MTV is NOT geared towards fans of VA. NOTHING. MTV right now is geared towards the audience I covered in my subject line. And I really doubt that 14 year old girls care about VA movies, unless it's to see Ben or Matt. Actually, unless it's to see Ben, cuz Matt don't do them movies that make young girls go gaga.
: Truthfully I think you guys are much funnier than anything MTV or Fox could put out.. You ought to check with them about airing the shows. MTV has this habit about going overboard on shit.. Everytime a new show, movie or series starts on their network they go bonkers with guest appearances, advertising, etc etc. If you could get them to show the 6 episodes you'd be airing directly to your crowd -- with shitloads of exposure, interviews, news spots, advertisements and guest appearances.
Ok, first of all, about a month or so ago, Kevin said the cartoon is dead. DEAD. It will not air anywhere else. And, I'm guessing you missed the publicity for the cartoon -- HOW MANY MORE GUEST APPEARANCES DO YOU WANT? That, and it's a little hard to add guest appearances AFTER THE SHOWS ARE IN THE CAN.
: PS: I recently accidently found Mall Rats on DVD.. I loved all the extra "deleted" footage and commentary.
How does one "accidentally" find a DVD? Seriously. And it's not "deleted" footage. The stuff was actually cut from the movie. It's straight up deleted stuff.
