Trivia:

When the studio bought the series, they apparently did not realize that the characters of Jay and Silent Bob were drug dealers. When they were informed, studio executives insisted that this be changed, and the two became firecracker dealers for the cartoon.

Goofs:

Continuity: At the end of episode 4, when Judge Reinhold is working at the Quik-Stop, his shirt frequently switches from blue to yellow.

Quotes:

Man: [running in from the street] Run for your lives! Someone let the gorilla out of his cage and he's attacking everyone in sight!
[Gorilla arm pulls him back out the door]
Dante Hicks: Oh, no! Caitlin!
Man: [runs back in] Except Caitlin Bree and Dan Whiffler who are having sex in a car!

An Underrated Series

I first heard about this on viewaskew.com and was interested as a Jay and Silent Bob fan. I managed to see some episodes and I must say. ABC are stupid, this cartoon manages to be surreal and crazy without destroying the serious bit to the original film, and like any Kevin Smith piece Jay and Silent Bob pop up to annoy Dante and Randall. Now, if you are thinking, "But this show probably doesn't have cursing, how can there be Jay and Silent Bob without cursing?" I don't know how they did it but it works. The stoner duo manage to stay funny without four letter words. This cartoon series, that was sadly cancelled, should have been up there with the likes of Family Guy, Futurama, etc. Hopefully, like Family Guy, it will be resurrected.

Probably not.
