Cleveland Plain DealerTom FeranDec 18, 2019
Season 1 Review: It substitutes mocking attitude (or lack of attitude) for wit, has no sense of story and has no discernible jokes - just a lot of ostensibly "out there" ideas it is unable to develop. It isn't as memorable or smart as the "bad sitcom" conventions it spoofs. [31 May 2000, p.3E]

Season 1 Review: What Clerks doesn't have is a lot of laughs. In fact, the whole concept seems tired and stale. Much of the satire is dated [a "People's Court" parody?], and the jokes and situations look like recycled stuff from old movies and long-canceled series....In other words, unoriginal. [31 May 2000]

Season 1 Review: With its cheap look and gross-out sensibility, Kevin Smith's 1994 movie Clerks wasn't for everyone...A new animated version for ABC isn't for anyone. [31 May 2000]
