Goofs:

Continuity: In episode four when the NBA All Star jury is entering the courtroom, there are a few seconds when they are standing in front of the jury box. For a split second, the front wall of the box goes from behind them to in front of them, making it look like they are standing in the box, but then it switches back to being behind them.

Quotes:

Randal Graves: [Randal's opening argument to the all-black jury of NBA players] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Dante Hicks is just like you. He lurves grape soda. He knows what it's like when the guy at the supermarket won't take your "food stamps". Or how it feels to wait all month for your "welfare check".
[waving his arms from side to side]
Randal Graves: Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Thank you.
Judge Reinhold: Wow...
Dante Hicks: Great... now the jury hates us.
Randal Graves: Nonsense. I've got them eating out of my hand.
[a basketball hits Dante in the face]

An excellent show cut way too short!

I greatly enjoyed this entertaining and criminally short lived animated series. Sure it was different from the 1994 movie (which was very good), but I still like it. A definite plus was having Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith reprising their roles. I also particularly liked the animation. And I can't believe ABC just canceled it after two episodes. What were they thinking? Good thing Comedy Central has aired the series from time to time, otherwise I would've missed out on it and not bothered thinking about getting the DVD. I found every episode hilarious, but the last one was my absolute favorite. Had ABC not been so foolish I think this series would still be in production today.
