What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.
Clerks: The Animated Series
It was a show pitched to ABC and was cancelled after only a few episodes. It’s a masterpiece of adult animated comedy that I consider far superior to Family Guy and the Simpsons. It’s not on Rick & Morty’s level but almost nothing is, however I’d confidently place this show in between R&M and the other shows I’ve watched as far as ranking.
You may watch this show and not enjoy it, that’s okay. For me though, this show was a big part of my childhood and defined a lot of my humor as an adult. The way the jokes are structured and even some of the phrases said in the show are still in my vocabulary to this day. I thank the writers for putting together so much comedy gold in a show that barely saw the light of day.
It’s absolutely worth watching at least the first episode if you’ve never seen it before. If you do, please let me know if you liked it as much as I did. I’d be interested to hear if you didn’t find it enjoyable as well.
