Used, abused, dissed and dissed again. Welcome to network TV, indie god. Writer/director Kevin Smith’s toon version of his 1994 no-budget, breakout comedy “Clerks” was axed by ABC Thursday after just two airings.
And while lots of shows get canned, few shows go through this: Get teased in spots during the Super Bowl, get set for a mid-season March premiere, get yanked from schedule, get pushed back to the summer for a six-week run, get bad ratings in its first outing, get even worse episodes in its second outing, get canned and — indignity of indignities — replaced, starting next Tuesday, by reruns of “Spin City.”
Ugh.
