Goofs:

Continuity: In episode four when the NBA All Star jury is entering the courtroom, there are a few seconds when they are standing in front of the jury box. For a split second, the front wall of the box goes from behind them to in front of them, making it look like they are standing in the box, but then it switches back to being behind them.

Quotes:

Randal Graves: [Randal's opening argument to the all-black jury of NBA players] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Dante Hicks is just like you. He lurves grape soda. He knows what it's like when the guy at the supermarket won't take your "food stamps". Or how it feels to wait all month for your "welfare check".
[waving his arms from side to side]
Randal Graves: Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Thank you.
Judge Reinhold: Wow...
Dante Hicks: Great... now the jury hates us.
Randal Graves: Nonsense. I've got them eating out of my hand.
[a basketball hits Dante in the face]

Underrated, 'nuff said

"Clerks: The Animated Series" didn't get enough airtime considering it was one of the best cartoons on a national network. The cartoon series is a continuation of the adventures of Dante and Randall, two begrudging peddlers of the convenience store trade who make Star Wars references, talk about past relationships, and trying to move up in the world. Granted, it's not going to be like the movie but that's alright. Smith decides to replace it with a particularly offbeat brand of humor with Dante and Randall getting into adventure after adventure. All done on a grand scale. Alec Baldwin is particularly funny as the show's closeted capitalist villain as well as Charles Barkley, completely f**king up his image in good spirits, as himself. Definitely worth a look for it's off the wall comedy.
