piersrae It kills me that this show was cancelled. A great concept, full of amazing comedic talent, with whiplash comic timing. It's just *fun*! Lord and Miller clearly had a ball creating one of the most absurd coming-of-age stories to ever grace the small screen.I'd rate it ten, but that bittersweet ending just breaks my heart every time. Clone High, we hardly knew ye.

klahd222 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...

sargos There isn't much to say here that hasn't already been said. This is an extremely good show that deserves to be watched, especially by those who enjoy zany, 'Family Guy'-like humor and/or clever history jokes.The show essentially lampoons the teen drama format by making every episode revolve around some important issue in high school life, and relentlessly satirizes the stereotypes of these types of shows. Episodes deal with issues such as underage drinking, drugs, prom, and death, all the while poking fun at these topics as well as the way in which the typical teen drama deals with them.The main characters (Abe, Joan, Ghandi, Cleo, and JFK) all fall into standard high school cliché's, and their individual personalities are fleshed out well enough that they become easy to identify with. The interaction of these contrasting personalities is a critical source for much of the show's humor, and the formula never fails to please.The show features an industry-standard love triangle (one best friend in love with other, other best friend in love with popular guy/girl) which helps drive the plot to an extent. This aspect of the show, while still used as a means to take shots at love triangles, is taken more seriously by the writers, and has consequently managed to melt a lot of hearts(my own included).All in all, a truly great show. I encourage everyone who enjoys it to buy the first season DVD asap and watch it whenever it is on TV (hopefully, with a lot of luck, the DVD sales and TV ratings may be able to pull it out of hiatus). Signing the petition wouldn't hurt either.

ThePolyphonicBry This show is great! I first saw it on MTV in the US, so I never got to see the end until I downloaded the rest of the episodes off the internet. It's such a shame that these excellent shows get cancelled. One show that is on something of the same calibur is Invader ZIM, if you've ever seen that. That show, although different, was like Clone High in that it catered to humor that isn't so mainstream as, say, Friends humor or something. Not that Friends isn't a funny show, but Clone High and Invader ZIM both have a unique humor to them that is rare on TV nowadays. Anyway, this show is excellent. It draws on hilarious stereotypes and a lot of historical fact to form its exquisite humor. But you don't have to be a history buff to enjoy this show, just the way in which it parodies teen dramas is terrific. This show isn't for younger viewers, I guess, but it is a great show. One bad thing is a rather unsatisfying ending, but maybe the writers didn't know that it would be the last episode. One last thing - the show's main band, The Abandoned Pools, is great as well, their songs are scattered throughout the show. Ten stars.
