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.
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.
Funniest **** I've ever seen in an animated show. No joke, this show really made me laugh a whole lot.
Arguably one of the funniest animated series to ever air on television, Clone High perfectly navigates the line of not taking itself too seriously and making you absolutely adore it's cast of character by the end of episode 13. It's held up surprisingly well even 20+ years later and is a show I will return to for many years to come.
Es una serie muy buena y que no debió haber sido cancelada; los personajes son carismáticos y la trama es entretenida y divertida; la recomiendo mucho.
