Clone High

MTV has helped make yet another good show, which is looking to be the best since Daria. Daria hasn't been on in a while; its last episode was shown in June 2001, and its series finale college movie was shown a little more than a year ago (as of the date of this review). Celebrity Deathmatch was also good, but even though it's not officially finished, it disappeared months ago. <:(

Based from the number of reviews I've seen so far, this show has already been welcomed with its fair share of praise. And yes, I agree completely. Clone High is another clever teen toon, using a bit of History for primary inspiration. The characters have little (if anything) in common to their predecessors (especially Mohanti Ghandi (excuse me if I misspelled anything)), but that's the fun of the show. It basically covers many teen topics, particularly peer pressure. The simplistic designs (possibly taken from one of Cartoon Network's cartoons) adds to the show's humor.

The main characters are: Abe Lincoln, the normal good-guy, Joan of Arc, a goth with a hint of sensitivity (not much like Daria), Mohanti Ghandi, the reckless yet lovable "cool dude", Cleopatra, part of the popular crowd, and J(ohn)F(itzgerald)K(ennedy), another popular guy (seemingly among the women). Also, there's the principal and robot vice-principal. Thru each episode, you'll notice that the first five characters are not the only clones existing in the show.

One thing I like about MTV is that unlike such channels as Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel, it's not afraid to reserve its material for the older crowd, in this case, the high school audience. Nick and Disney usually stay with the tried-and-true pre-teen crowd, and with a few exceptions, create a few lame programs cheaply disguised as "teen shows". The only let-down for MTV is that they keep up with even their best programs during their run, but immediately abandon them once they get cancelled. This trend is inevitable for Clone High, so we better enjoy it while we can.

One thing about Clone High was that it was another one of those good shows that appears out of nowhere. I first saw it this past MLK Day while I was channel hopping, but some sources say that the show first premiered in Canada in November 2002. Nonetheless, Clone High is a good show that's destined for a wonderful future.

This TV show was one of the MTV cartoons shot down in its prime (like Daria). This is a great show that combines the actors and humor of both scrubs and mad TV. Unfortunately, there is only one season but it is quite a ridiculous season none-the-less. The humor in the show is a combination of subtle jokes, awkwardly funny situations, and utter ridiculousness. The show isn't to be taken too seriously but wasn't intended to be taken seriously anyways(so people who spend their time criticizing shows for not being ground breaking can just move on). The characters in the show are likable and the voice acting is appropriate for the show. The reasons that I didn't give this show a ten is: The season abruptly ends because it was canceled so there are some things that are still up in the air that I'd like to be concluded and there are some episodes that are not as good as the rest(thanks Jack Black).

The main characters include Christa Miller(from Scrubs and The Drew Carry Show), Michael McDonnald(from Mad TV and bit role on scrubs), Nichole Sullivan( Mad TV and reoccurring role on Scrubs), and Will Forte(SNL, Brothers Solomon). Also included parts from Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, and Neil Flynn(scrubs actors). Some of the guest voices include Mandy Moore, Marilyn Manson, Michael J. Fox, and STAMOS!

MTV teamed up with Nelvana to produce it, so the production values and writing were a couple of notches above their usual fare. It was created by the same people who created "Scrubs" for NBC and used a lot of the same actors to voice the characters.

A secret government agency has cloned a bunch of historical figures so that they can raise their own clone army. The clones, who are all in the teenage angst-y phase are all in High School together dealing with love, sex, drugs and social inadequacy while being watched by a maniacal Principal with plans of his own.

It simultaneously lampoons the current WB-style "tween" shows and after-school specials. The shows comedic style is fast paced, almost vaudevillian and it becomes even more bizarre and disconnected as it moves along.

Too bad MTV dropped it after only airing like, six episodes. I hear it still plays in Canada, though...

I know this isn't a real petition but it's close enough...for anyone who loves this show and wants it back just sign your name below...I am for one am sick of all the reality bull sh*t and would really like to actually enjoy a show every once in awhile. Even though Clone High wasn't the most intelligent show out there it wasn't supposed to be, it was just good animated fun and just because someone took too damn personally and got "offended" so to speak had to go and bitch to take it off well F*ck you whoever that was. well I'll shall be the 1st to sign.

This is my favorite MTV show ever and I am so sad that it was cancelled! I sorely wish that it would be continued. The pacing is great, the jokes are hilarious, the characters are well-written and I love the overall look of the show. My favorite characters? I love them all! But I always have a special place in my heart for Joan of Arc, she reminds me of me :) It's too bad it didn't succeed, I can only hope a DVD release is not far away.
