What sets "Clone High" above other superficially similar shows is that it knows it is ripping off its television forebears — both animated and live action — and it knows that you know too. Every storyline has been done to death, so "Clone High" appropriates these well-worn, over-done topics with a wink and a nod and then proceeds to mercilessly shred them. The end result is subversive, not formulaic. Read full review

An animated series with an odd mix of historical figures and parodies of teen-appeal TV, advertising and music. It's a bizarre combination, to be sure, but it works. [12 Jan 2003, p.D-3]

In a year of variations and ripoffs of established themes and genres, it's a true original. It's also a cartoon, and is truly, outrageously bizarre. [20 Jan 2003, p.85]

The characters are intriguing in a lightweight way but could lose their appeal fast. Remember when Austin Powers was a brilliant comedy creation, the thawed-out 90's secret agent who still operated by 60's social standards? The joke just wasn't good enough to hold up three (and probably more) films, although that hasn't hurt the films at the box office. The clones, like Austin, may turn out to be a one-joke invention.

Sounds funny, and it is. In a style reminiscent of "South Park" and "Beavis and Butt-head," but not nearly as crude, Clone High mixes pop culture and historical references with some crassness. The problem is that the first episode, which focuses on crushes and beer, doesn't quite live up to the obvious comedic potential behind the killer premise. [20 Jan 2003, p.C24]

Screwloose, occasionally amusing...Yeah, Beavis and Butt-head would make fun of this show. Heh-heh-heh. [20 Jan 2003]

What hatches in the first episode is a disappointing, weak strain of comic material, lacking the cunning, subversive quality of, say, "South Park." [10 Jan 2003]

La serie logra lo que Los Simpsons pudieron hacer en su tiempo: sorprenderte y hacerte reír.

Hace años que no reía al ver una serie.

La recomiendo 100(%

One of the most quotable shows I have ever watched. The jokes are great. The show doesn't date itself with its comedy outside of a few celebrity cameos. The characters are lovable.

In results, this animated sitcom is highly hilarious with a unique cast of characters and jokes that will literally laugh your a** off. The show would have received a perfect 10, but unfortunately the last episode ended with an open ending that lead a lot of viewers peeved before the show got cancelled. If you are open-minded to give strange animated sitcoms a try, then Clone High U.S.A. is your type of DNA to test out.… Expand

Seeing their first aired project just shows what kind of sense of humor they have and I love it. The show’s sense of humor is cartoonish and I love how it carries over to the other works Lord and Miller has done.

The concept itself in which clones of past historic icons are now teenagers is such a clever idea that was executed well and seems what MTV would like to do during that time in 2002. It’s sad that not everyone is a big fan of this and that led to the cancellation of Clone High.

Most of the clone characters are very likable, especially Gandhi and JFK with their similar personalities in different circle groups with Gandhi being the outcast yet party guy and JFK the typical “horny all-American quarterback jock”. They’re just funny to watch and to see them in the same scene makes them even more funnier.

The love triangle between the clones Abraham “Abe” Lincoln, Joan of Arc and Cleopatra is nothing new or special but I liked how this helps the show to move forward and its nature of the show makes it more entertaining to watch.

Clone High is one of the few shows that I want to watch again from the very beginning all because it was hilarious. This is one underrated TV show.… Expand

The writing is"Clone High" is a witty and irreverent animated series that explores the lives of teenage clones of famous historical figures. The show manages to strike a delicate balance between humor and heart, creating a unique viewing experience that is both entertaining and insightful. The writing is sharp, the characters are well-developed, and the animation style is visually striking.

While some of the humor may be a bit juvenile at times, it never feels mean-spirited or gratuitous. Instead, the show uses humor as a means to comment on the absurdity of high school life and the challenges of growing up. The voice cast is also top-notch, with standout performances from Will Forte, Nicole Sullivan, and Michael McDonald.

One of the strengths of "Clone High" is its ability to tackle serious topics with humor and sensitivity. The show is not afraid to address issues like identity, gender, and mental health, and it does so in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. However, some viewers may find the show's humor to be too offbeat or quirky for their tastes.

Overall, "Clone High" is a unique and entertaining series that is well worth watching. With its clever writing, memorable characters, and thought-provoking themes, it's a show that is sure to leave a lasting impression. For fans of offbeat animation and irreverent humor, "Clone High" is a must-watch. Therefore, I give "Clone High" Season 1 an 8 out of 10… Expand
