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!

The concept alone is mind-blowing, but just wait until you watch the actual show. Pretty great.

It's a shame to let a show with such good writing to go to waste, and end resolved. I loved this show. I have all the episodes, and i hope MTV knows that just because some Teenybopper thirteen year old who's prime intrests are Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake doesn't like the show is no reason to take it off the air. I've loved all of MTV's animated shows its just so sad that excepting Daria & Bevis&Butthead none of their animated shows have lasted for more than one season.

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.

It's not an uncommon scenario, but I came across this show long after it's unfortunate cancellation. The premise is good and the fact that the show combines history's greatest leaders with the depth and immaturity of the typical "high school teen show" is a concept that really brings the laughs. The show never tries to be anything but silly and satirical and succeeds for this effort. It is very good that it exists on DVD and that it can still be found via Amazon.com and some retailers. Only 13 episodes exist, so it is not hard to watch it all and enjoy it for what it was. Clone High had too limited of a run, but what an enjoyable show it was. Find it, watch it, and clone it....(legally of course).

Clone High was not only one of my favorite cartoons but my favorite shows. The DVD set for the first (and only) season is out right now. It only cost me 20 bucks Canadian and it was well worth it. If you like Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or Harvey Birdman humor your sure to love this cartoon. Also the music is awesome! Dashboard Confessional, Thursday, Get up Kids, Catch 22, Snapcase and more. And for all you Canadians out their it's Canadian made! Support Canadian animators!

Clone High. A truly surreal experience of television. A pretty straightforward premise that doesn't take itself seriously at all, and one of the funniest things i've seen in my life. It's like a comfort show to me and many others, and you can just watch it on youtube since MTV doesn't really care about it. No surprise the creators, Phil Lord and Chris Miller are big time Hollywood boys now. I highly recommend this show to anybody who enjoys absurdist humor with fun characters and the best theme song ever created.

Update: weird people online have ruined this show for me.

The writing, the format, the character's, the setiing, just about everything (except the dated references [I'm looking at you Ashley O-Town and Mandy Moore]) is great.

I really got hooked on this show back in the day, cared about the characters. And besides the slow first episode, I can't think of any standout weak moment's

This show was great and I just hope that they don''t botch the reboot.

I first watched this online 10 years ago because of the title and the concept.

I suppose I didn't really appreciate it then but I re-watched upon learning of the revival and I will say that it deserves its cult following.

It's so much fun to imagine the show this could have been if we were really supposed to take it seriously. As a pastiche of teen-dramas, it is a delight to watch something so serious in story be so absurd in delivery and it totally works.

They know their way around a joke so it has aged very well. It feels quite contemporary in fact except that the animation is sort of retro maybe.

Joan is a sort of Daria clone (no pun intended) but that's sort of the point. Her one sided infatuation with Abe is charming and doesn't get old. Ghandi is super and the historical figures of the main cast really have little to do with it in practice.

They keep things moving with tons of jokes about the rest of the school acting (or meeting fates similar too) those they were cloned from while our main cast have different personalities. Well JFK and Cleo I guess are sort of nuanced in that way. But it's fun.

All this juxtaposed with the real menace of the principle and the shadowy directors makes this a very well rounded show that is more quality than quantity.

I didn't like it when Joan kicks JFK in the face just for asking if she were drunk enough to sleep with him but he was kind of obnoxious anyway.

I watched one episode and was hooked. Not only do they utilize the quirky dysfunctions of the actual people the clones and based on, but they've developed their own style of weird, sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle humor, mixed with the drama of high school and the peer pressure of growing up . Great music composed by Liam Lynch, who is directing the up and coming "Tencious D in The Pick of Destiny". The cast is amazing, consisting of such talents like Mad TV's sexy Nicole Sullivan, Drew Carey's Christa Miller, and of the course the young creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller. The guest appearances are random and hilarious. For those who haven't seen it, just buy the DVD, there's only 13 episodes and can easily be watched in one or two stressed sessions. The last two episodes you can tell they were on top of their game and most likely knew that another season wasn't in the picture.

Another adult animated series, Clone High was created by the fantastic trio Bill Lawrence, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller. These three have worked on the likes of Scrubs, Ted Lasso, and The Lego Movie so of course I wanted to check out this often forgotten comedy from 2002, featuring a high school where the greatest minds in the world have been cloned and are now attending school together. Will Forte stars as a young Abe Lincoln, Nicole Sullivan as love interest Joan of Arc, Christa Millar as the other love interest Cleopatra, and Michael McDonald appears as Gandhi. A bunch of other Scrub's cast comes in for various roles, and Chris Miller himself voices the iconic JFK. Feeling something comedically like an adult Phineas and Ferb, Clone High features a lot of romance / sexuality, but also some random cartoon gore or violence, and of course alcohol and drug use. The series is pretty funny and short if you can find it online, but its recently been picked up as a potential for a new series / reboot on HBO Max next year, so maybe we'll see the original show up for streaming there. Is it good? Yeah. Does it deserve a reboot? Probably not. Will I watch said reboot? Probably.

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.

The humor in Clone High is nothing short of perfect. I don't watch TV. However, stumbling upon Clone High is quite honestly one of the greatest accidents I've made when it comes to giving something a chance.

The show is primarily a comedy, and a very effective one at that. The show is at it's best when the characters are throwing "emotionally charged" speeches at one another about love and betrayal (Abe:"You sent me up the river" Joan:"That may be, but I sent you up that river with my heart as a paddle" Abe:"But you smacked me in the face with that paddle...").

The show also uses several different forms of humor. It can be subtle, blunt, random, delightfully repetitive or utterly ridiculous.

The thing that I found most enjoyable about the show is the fact that it really does say a lot about what it's like to be so close to being grown up, but still a way's off. Joan is so obsessed with her best friend, Abe that she doesn't realize her own independence. Abe is so infatuated with Cleo that he doesn't even consider Joan's love. Ghandi is so fixated on being popular, Cleo is so fixated on herself, JFK is so fixated on women.

It really says something about the attention spans of young adults and how they miss out on such obvious opportunities to be happy. At the same time Clone High makes such good fun of what it's like to be in that stage of a person's life.

Overall, Clone High does for High School what Clerks did for part-time jobs. Not only is the show hilarious, but it's actually smarter than it appears at first glance and a very worthy addition to an excellent DVD collection.

I love this show! Can't believe it got canceled with a cliff hanger after only one season!

I've only discovered this 17-year-old show this year, but it is inarguably spectacular. I adore this show, and the creators announced in July 2020 they're reviving the show. I cannot overstate how much I love this.

This show is SO funny. I love it. But when is it going to go back on air?? I really want it to be back on. They should have a new season and stuff. This show is the best! I don't know what to say other than I love it. This show should be on more often and at better times. But a better time would actually be on air! Everyone should watch it so it becomes a big hit, like Family Guy. My brother and I used o watch all the time a long time ago, but then it went off air. But when it came back on people started watching it, and now it's really popular, like Clone High should be. Watch Clone High! Why does this have to be ten(10) lines long. This show is really good. Clone High is the best. This show it so funny. Please, please, please go back on air! It's on Teletoon, for those of you who don't know. Go watch it! (when it comes back on air). It should really go back on air! I'm serious! It is one of, no it is my favorite show!

Clone high is an absolutely amazing series. It contains a humor that plays on the stereotypes of teenagers, Teenage attitudes and Teenage shows. Not to Mention it has some of the best special guest episodes Such as Tom green and Marylin Mandson. Looking at my high school I can associate real people to this comedy. This show can be enjoyed only by the newer aged people i believe such as teens and people under 30 but it is still very very good. It also Has an ability to be a pointless comedy and yet have a meaningful story line behind it. The soundtrack to this show is also very good, but of course it is a MTV show, And has many gags in it that are not said such as in a raisin smoking episode in which there are subliminal messages that are very very funny if you catch them. I sugjest this movie to all teen and twenty year old people because they will get a kick out of it for sure. In conclusion i would just like to remind you that if you are not mature enough to take a couple of sex jokes do not watch this or ignore them because there are many others inside also.

I rewatched this earlier this week. I had great memories when it was first on and I was curious to if it held up. It doesn't. It's uneven and inconsistent. Some Episodes (smoked raisins and add) are hilarious and worth repeated viewings. Other episodes literally you could and potentially will nap through.

Voice talent is talented but at times too hokey and I'm sure the depiction of Ghandi for all his real life faults will not be viewed positively by todays standards.

I think certain other cartoons from the same period (mission hill, clerks, undergrads) hold up better and would be a more entertaining choice.

This show is unbelievably funny. I was brought on board by RebelTaxi's review, and I thought to myself "Oh god, I have to watch this show." As soon as I saw the very first episode, I was in love with the show, Even though it only lasted 13 episodes. I especially love the Makeover episode. Man, that Makeover song is going to be stuck in my head for the next 15 years. But as soon as I saw Clone High had a cliffhanger ending (I'm not going to spoil it), I was furious. I hate cliffhanger endings, especially when it comes to shows I like, and shows that are only 13 episodes long. Clone High was a show of its time and I wish it was renewed for season two.

I see how you could think that they would take it off the air because of that, but that's not what happened at all. The show was taken off the air because of the people in India. They didn't like how Ghandi was being portrayed as a raging party animal, because they still worship him like crazy! So MTV was forced to take it off the air. Thay had to apologize and everything to India! so it's a little bit on the gay side.

-Thanks for reading my comment and to fill in the extra lines i'm going to put random words.cool beans monkey bread style in a hat that was burning in a bit of salty mayonnaise while reading a book titled ' what it is to be a teenager: a rope of sand' in case you didn't notice that story was by scudworth hehehe

Way, way, back in the 1980's, secret government employees dug up famous guys and ladies and made amusing genetic copies. Now the clones are sexy teens now. They're going to make if they try. Loving, learning, sharing, judging. It's time to laugh and shiver and cry. Clone High, Clone High.

Absolutely my favorite cartoon. Abe Lincoln is a crazy mixed up kid who doesn't know if he loves Cleopatra or Joan of Arc. Gandi, a hyper active guy who loves to stick things in his nose. JFK, a womanizing jerk, and Joan of Arc a very dark and monitone girl who has deep routed issues with Abe Lincoln.

I think that this is another one of those cartoons that should continue.
