10 Adult Animation Shows You Forgot Existed
Clerks: The Animated Series
Unlike the other film adaptations on this list Clerks: The Animated Series boasted the complete original cast of Kevin Smith’s cult classic film of the same name. The show was ripe with talent and had a head start of Kevin Smith’s significant following as an audience. After airing just two episodes in 2000, ABC pulled the plug on Clerks due to low ratings and unsuccessful test-screenings. The network could be partly to blame as they aired the episodes out of order, premiering with the fourth instalment and following it up with the second episode, which was meant as a ‘flashback’ to the intended first.
The full six-episode season was later released on Comedy Central and DVD, and Kevin Smith has long been in talks to produce an animated film. The show was praised by critics, specifically IGN who named Clerks to their top 100 list of best-animated series’. With positive reception and high cult following, Clerks: The Animated Series has often been compared to shows like Firefly for its improper airing and being cancelled before its time.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
