DVD Reviews of Clone High: Complete 1st Season

DVD Review: Great show!
Summary: 5 Stars

Possibly the most quotable show in history (and about history).

I came into Clone High a little late, I remember seeing the show on MTV at the time it was on (the no sleep episode), but didn't really watch it all till about 6 months ago, when I discovered most of the 13 episodes could be seen on youtube for free.

That said, after seeing 3 episodes on youtube, I immediately bought the DVD. This is an awesome show, its wacky, immediately funny, and subversive all at the same time. It literally has something for everyone. There's immediate, stupid humor, historical humor, stuff thats much more subversive, parodies of everything from teen dramas to looney tunes to Benny Hill to Christmas specials and beyond.

Its a shame that this show was can shut down because it apparently offended Indians due to its portrayal of Ghandi. I can understand why Indians wouldn't like the Ghandi character, but seriously, they make a point several times of saying that its a CLONE of Ghandi. Oh well, pick a less iconic historical figure next time, I guess (though no one complained about "Hesus Christo").

But the writing, seriously. SO good. These guys knew how to take a joke to its breaking point. They would run things about two beats further than they should, and it would end up super funny. Family Guy could learn a few things from this show.

That said, I'm actually not sure how they would've worked a 2nd season. Over the course of 13 episodes, they had slowly driven the episodes so over the top (example: compare the amount of bloodshed on the first disc to the second disc) that by the end of everything I don't really know where they could've taken it. Any further and it would've been WAY TOO FAR over the top (a line they already were skipping across by the end of everything) or they would've repeated themselves. Either way, great show, but it had its own self-imposed limits. I suppose the cancellation makes it sort of a mini-series. And thats fine, I guess. It works perfect that way.

Still, great parody of teen dramas, and great writing. Not only was I laughing my butt off, but by the end of everything I actually found myself caring whether or not Joan and Abe would get together. Pretty impressive that a parody show would still make its characters emotionally resonant.

If you can get it for under $30 you should. If not, well, there's always youtube.

DVD Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are reading this because you remember this show being a little funny and off the wall back in the day, then do yourself a favor and buy this now! It is sooooo much funnier then I remember. I wish they would have made more of this show. This is a treasured gem in my DVD collection and gets MANY repeat viewings. Buy immediately - you will not be disappointed.

DVD Review: Peanut Arms!
Summary: 5 Stars

Best investment I've ever made. Watch it over and over and is still funny- just like 'Friends'. Though sadly there's only one season of Clone High
:( Precious it is.

DVD Review: So Sad...
Summary: 5 Stars

How could the powers that be not see the utter genius in this show? Leave it to Mtv to can something as great as this in favor of dreck like "My Super Sweet Sixteen." They should be ashamed of themselves (well, they should've been ashamed of themselves long before this, but that's besides the point).

Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Ghandi & JFK (along with a host of others)... cloned... in high school...

Very well-written... great voice casting (Will Forte, Nicole Sullivan, Michael McDonald)... a great show that didn't get a chance, thanks to a once great network that has gone down the pooper.

DVD Review: ''and by will, I mean won't!''
Summary: 5 Stars

This series is SO hilarious. I was so upset when I found out that they cancelled it.

If you watched it religiously like I did when it was airing on MTV, (2004, I believe?) then you won't de dissapointed. In it's short 13 episode run, it had plenty of laughs. You should get this. Hands down. You'll have plenty of quotes that you can share with your friends for weeks to come.
