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 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.
