Read more about Clone High at: Wikipedia Official Site: MTV Clone High (occasionally referred to in the U.S. as Clone High U.S.A.) is an animated television series that aired for one season (November 2002 – April 2003) on MTV and Teletoon. It has officially been on hiatus since March 17, 2003. The series had run in its entirety in Canada on Teletoon before premiering in the United States on MTV. The last five episodes were never broadcast in the United States. The Clone High theme song is written by Liam Lynch and performed by alternative rock band Abandoned Pools, who also provided much of the series' background music. Though not being popular during its 2002-2003 run, it has garnered a large fanbase in recent years through the internet and reruns and has been critically acclaimed for its comical, nonsensical approach to teenage life and parodying historical figures with well-developed and unique personalities that are somewhat contradictory and its witty diologue. It currently has an 8.7 rating on TV.com. Clone High is set in a high school that is secretly being run as an elaborate military experiment orchestrated by a government office called the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures. The school is entirely populated by clones of famous historical figures that have been created and raised with the intent of having their various strengths and abilities harnessed by the United States military. The principal of the high school, Cinnamon J. Scudworth, has his own plans for the clones, and secretly tries to undermine the wishes of the Board (Scudworth wants to use the clones to create a clone-themed amusement park, dubbed "Cloney Island", a decidedly less evil intention than that of the Board). He is assisted by his robot butler/vice principal/dehumidifier Mr. Butlertron (a parody of Mr. Belvedere), who is programmed to call everyone "Wesley" (a reference to one of the main characters in the television show Mr. Belvedere). |
