Filmed during the production of Kevin Smith's follow-up film Mallrats (1995). Smith had no involvement in this attempt at a series.
Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, the actors who played Dante and Randal (respectively) in the original Kevin Smith film Clerks - Die Ladenhüter (1994), both auditioned for Dante. After they saw this result, both were glad they never got the part.
The end credits song is "Can't Even Tell" by Soul Asylum. The music video for the song features Dante and Randal from the movie this pilot was based on arguing with the band members if they could beat them in roof hockey.
