Well it was very cheap set, "Saved by the Bell" type sets (That was Brian O'Halloran quote) and was horrible.
They ditched Jay and Bob, added other reoccurring clerks like the ice cream man and took everything good out of clerks and added in plots that involved like people in the store talking about their lives and horrible lines like that.
It was awful and if your lucky you can find the 3 minutes of footage running around the net somewhere.
Well "lucky" isn't really the right word. But yeah, After Miramax sold the rights to WB, WB then sold them out again for a sitcom. The sitcom was made into a pilot that Brian, Jeff, and Marlin tried out for and got rejected. Horrible, Horrible stuff.

Let me start by saying that I've seen about ten seconds of this show, and that was enough for me.
The pilot episode never actually made it to television. Kevin Smith had nothing to do with it and didn't actually find out about it until about a year after it was made.
It's Clerks, "Saved by the Bell" style. There is a cameo from Keri Russel of "Felicity" fame and Jim Bruer plays Randal, but I'm sure they're erasing this off of their resumes.
The show takes place in a mall and is nothing at all like the movie of the same name. There is no Jay and Silent Bob (but there is a clumsy shoplifter who could arguably be the network's answer to Jay) and it is completely sanitized and cleaned up for television. The acting is crap and the jokes are terrible.
Stop complaining about not being able to see it. You are doing yourself a favor, and this is coming from a huge Clerks/Jim Bruer fan.

Just saw this on youtube...not sure why anyone would confuse this with the movie Clerks... There's no Jay or Silent Bob.... They seem to replace those two with some some random ice cream store employee... Dante's obsessions are gone... I guess the original Dante & Randal auditioned for the show but didn't get the parts (How that happens is beyond me)... The humor is lame and that 90's G rated type humor that came with a laugh track at the most un-funny moments.... It came off more like an episode of Save By The Bell set in a strip mall... It even had the same sort of oddball half ass moral message at the end of the show like an episode of Save By The Bell ... The only thing that remotely reminded me of the original Clerks was they had "Can't Even Tell" by Soul Asylum at the end
A slacker works at a convenience store with two other slackers who might actually be even dumber and more annoying than he is. The slacker is considering getting a better job, as his father keeps pushing him to make something of himself....but down deep he likes being a complete loser.
"Clerks" is a show named after the famous independent film, though the characters are different...and really, really annoying. So annoying that you can see why the networks refused to approve this for a series. There were two MAJOR problems with the show...the characters were completely unlikable and the writing was, at its best, craptastic. Rarely have I seen a failed pilot that screamed "I know why this one was NOT picked up" like "Clerks".

according to the View Askew message boards this show never aired, the only people who have seen this is the ABC executives, Kevin Smith, Scott Mosier, and Vincent Pirerra. it had no cursing and no jay and silent bob so they decided not to air it. whoever it was that said he bought the DVD thats a different show, thats the ANIMATED tv show
